Hello. Some people ask me how to wash indigo dyed products, and some people are disappointed because the color transfers during washing, so in this blog, I would like to explain how to care for indigo dyed products.
Aizome is a dyeing method that uses natural dyes made from plants. It is normal for Aizome products to fade when washed. This is because the pigments of the plants are attached to the surface of the plant, and like painting, the paint surface will peel off over time. Plant dyeing gradually changes to a natural, vintage color over time. There is a saying that "aging changes", and Aizome changes to a different color for each product through the passage of time. This is the advantage and characteristic of Aizome .
Then, washing Aizome products How exactly do I do this?
Newly received aizome products can be washed alone with a little salt mixed in clean water. After wearing and washing several times, the color fading will be greatly reduced, so you can wash them mixed with other clothes. Be careful not to use strong alkaline soap products during the washing process, and do not dry them at high temperatures.
How to care for Aizome products:
First, avoid direct sunlight. Long-term exposure to sunlight will damage the indigo dye product.
Second, do not dry it using the dryer or washing machine’s drying function .
Third, we recommend that you turn the clothes inside out and store them.
