1. Wash
Only wash when absolutely necessary.
Before washing your Baule textile, it is best to test a small piece of any part of the fabric to make sure the cleaning agent and/or detergent works properly.
If you have never cleaned Baule fabric before with a certain kind of detergent, it is best to test it. But, once you know that a detergent works well, you can use it on all your future Baule textiles!
Most detergents will work well, but it is best to take the extra precaution.
Avoid using the harsher kinds of detergents and soaps with chemicals as you can never be quite sure of the chemical reaction that might take place with the dyes of the fabric and the cleaning agent.
Submerge your Baule textile in cool water, gently stirring.
Let sit for about 5 mins.
Remove Baule.
Gently ring out excess water.
2. Dry
Hang dry or lay flat. Please do not dry these garments in direct sunlight — this can cause excessive fading.
3. Additional Care
Iron on back of fabric, on (low) cotton setting if needed.
