Care Instructions

Washing garments with rhinestone embellishments requires a bit of extra care to ensure that the rhinestones remain securely attached and do not get damaged. Here are some recommended tips for washing these garments:

  1. Check Care Labels of your garment first.

First, always start by checking the garment’s care label for specific washing instructions. Follow any guidelines provided by the manufacturer, based on the garment label. Then follow the below guidelines where rhinestones are embellished:

  1. Hand Wash 
  • Turn Garment Inside Out: This helps protect the rhinestones from direct contact the detergent and sides of the washing machine.
  • Use Cold Water: Fill a basin with cold water and add a mild detergent. Avoid hot water, as it can weaken adhesives and damage rhinestones.
  • Gently Swish: Immerse the garment and gently swish it around in the water. Avoid scrubbing or wringing.
  • Rinse Carefully: Rinse the garment in cold water until all detergent is removed.
  1. Spot Clean

For small stains or spots, consider spot cleaning:

  • Dampen a Soft Cloth: Use a damp cloth with mild detergent to gently blot the stained area.
  • Avoid Direct Contact with Rhinestones: Try not to rub directly on the rhinestones to prevent loosening them.
  1. Machine Wash (If allowed)
  • Turn Inside Out: Place the garment inside a mesh lingerie bag or pillowcase to protect it.
  • Use a Gentle Cycle: Select a gentle or delicate cycle with cold water.
  • Mild Detergent: Use a mild, non-bleach detergent.
  1. Drying
  • Air Dry: Lay the garment flat on a clean, dry towel or hang it to dry. Avoid wringing or twisting, as this can damage the garment and rhinestones.
  • Avoid Heat: Do not use a dryer or expose the garment to direct heat sources, as high temperatures can affect the rhinestone adhesive and the garment fabric.
  1. Ironing
  • Iron Inside Out: If ironing is necessary, turn the garment inside out and use a low heat setting.
  • Protect Rhinestones: Place a cloth or pressing cloth over the rhinestones to protect them from direct heat.
  1. Storage
  • Store Carefully: When not in use, store the garment in a cool, dry place. Avoid placing heavy items on top of it to prevent pressure on the rhinestones.

By following these guidelines, you can help ensure that your rhinestone-embellished garments remain in good condition and the embellishments stay intact.
