Season of festivities brings with itself joys of its own and one of the most exciting parts is shopping for beautiful ethnic wear. But what gets us all worried is maintaining those delicate and expensive outfits, because dry cleaning may seem too expensive, and washing them with hands, too much of a task.  But why do we want to wash our designer ethnic wear by hand when we can easily do the same in our washing machines?

In this blog, we will tell you how to wash your ethnic wear easily with your fully automatic front load washing machine, or your top load fully automatic washing machine. Before we begin, we’d like to tell you that festive season also brings with itself the opportunity to steal the best deals, so semi-automatic washing machine users, this might be the right time to upgrade and benefit from festive discounts and offers, because of the many convenient features that fully automatic washers come with.

In this article not only will we tell you tips to wash your designer clothes, but also how washing machines can make it all so easy. Be it any stain, nowadays the toughest of the stains don’t require manual washing. Let’s find out how you can take care of your festive clothes and how easily you can do this.

 

1. Cotton
   Remember that cotton always bleeds colour, especially dark cotton always loses some colour, so remember to separate your dark coloured cotton from your light ones. Just wash them at the right temperature, at 30°C or below, and that will prevent your cotton fabrics from fading and in turn, preserve their brightness. If you do want to precare, just add 2 cups of mild detergent to a bucket of normal to cold water and soak your cotton clothes in it for 5-10 minutes, or let your washing machine do the soaking, with its soak feature.

Then wring them gently to get rid of the excess water, select your wash cycle in your washing machine, add a cup of vinegar to it and voila! Keep them bright, soft and fresh! Washers make it that easy! If you already own a fully automatic front load washing machine or top load fully automatic washing machine, then nothing like it, because it will make your task a lot less easier. While with semi-automatic washing machines you still have to go through the hassle of shifting your clothes to a different tub to dry them.

 

2. Washable Silks
   With fabrics as rich and comfortable as silk, sometimes dry cleaning them doesn’t have to be your only option. Just check the wash care instructions, if it’s dry clean only, only then you need to adhere to put them for dry clean, but a simple ‘ dry clean’ fabric can be washed at home in your own washer. Top load fully automatic washing machine & front load washing machine come with customized wash menus.

For Silks, choose the hand wash or gentle/delicate wash setting, put in your silk in the mesh bag or gentle care net provided with the machine, add a cup of mild detergent and let it wash. Once washed, hang them on a wooden hanger and let them dry without directly putting them under the sun. Also, never spot treat silks, always wash the whole garment.

 

 

3. Chiffon
   Let’s make one thing clear: Never mix your chiffons with other fabrics while washing them. For your designer chiffon sarees, separate them from other fabrics and put them in your washer, choose the gentle wash option available on your fully automatic washers, use a mild detergent and you are good to go. Once washed, dry them in an area away from direct sunlight.

4. Washable Clothes with Beads & Sequins
   If your front load washing machine came with a mesh laundry bag, then nothing like it. With a gentle wash option, you can wash your lightly-stained embedded garments easily. Since most of us choose embedded sequins clothes during festive celebrations, maintaining them later becomes a hassle if we have to run to a dry cleaner to get rid of stains or a general sweat stink.

Although the fewer times you wash these kinds of garments, the better, but when you do, gentle care is required. Make sure to check if the sequins are tightly sewn to the fabric or not. If yes, you’re good to go!
