How to wash your Baati

Baatis are beautiful garments crafted from soft, breathable cotton, making them both comfortable and stylish. To keep them looking their best, it’s essential to wash them gently to avoid damage and shrinkage. Here are some tips for ensuring a perfect wash every time:

1. Use Mild Detergent

Choose a mild detergent specifically designed for delicate fabrics. Avoid harsh detergents, as they can damage the fabric and cause fading over time.

2. Avoid Bleach

Never wash baati dresses with bleach, as it can lead to discoloration and fabric damage.

3. Opt for a Delicate Cycle

If using a washing machine, select the delicate or handwash cycle to ensure a gentle wash at 30°C. If washing at this temperature is not possible, hand washing is recommended for optimal care. Always turn your baati inside out and place it in a wash bag to protect it during the wash.

4. Use Low Spin Speeds

High spin speeds can cause shrinkage and damage to the fabric. It’s best to choose a low spin speed or, if available, a no-spin option.

5. Hang Dry

Baati dresses should be hung to dry in a well-ventilated area to maintain their shape and avoid shrinkage. Avoid using a dryer, as it can create creases or further shrink the fabric. If a dryer is necessary, opt for a low heat setting.

6. Ironing

If needed, iron the dress on a low heat setting, using a pressing cloth to protect the fabric from direct heat.

7. Avoid Harsh Sunlight

Direct sunlight can cause discoloration. To preserve the color, turn the garment inside out when drying outdoors.

Hand Washing for Best Longevity

For optimal care and longevity of your baati, hand washing is recommended, especially if washing at 30°C is not possible. Gently agitate the fabric in cold water with mild detergent, rinse thoroughly, and follow the drying tips above.

By following these care instructions, you can ensure that your baati remains vibrant and beautiful for years to come!
