Special Notes
• Very weak when wet — handle with extreme care
• Do not wring — roll in towel to remove moisture
Additional Care Tips
- • Dry clean recommended for structured garments — rayon is extremely fragile when wet
- • If hand washing, use cold water (30°C/85°F) with gentle detergent; never machine wash standard rayon
- • Never wring or twist — rayon loses up to 50% of its strength when wet
- • Lay flat to dry on a towel, or iron while still damp on low-medium heat to smooth wrinkles
- • Avoid bleach; spot treat stains with mild detergent before cleaning
- • Store on padded hangers for dresses/blouses; fold knits to prevent stretching
