Cyanotype Care Instructions

1. Hand Wash: Gently hand wash your cyanotype clothing in cold water using a mild detergent.

2. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or detergents containing phosphates or sodium, as they can fade or damage the cyanotype print.

3. Gentle Handling: Handle the clothing with care, avoiding excessive rubbing or wringing to preserve the cyanotype print.

4. Air Dry: Hang or lay flat to dry in a shaded area away from direct sunlight. Avoid using a dryer, as high heat can affect the cyanotype print.

5. Iron Carefully: If ironing is necessary, turn the clothing inside out and use a low heat setting. Avoid ironing directly over the cyanotype print; instead, iron around it.

6. Store with Care: When not in use, store your cyanotype clothing in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading or discoloration.

*By following these care instructions, you can help maintain the quality and longevity of your cyanotype clothing, allowing you to enjoy the unique beauty of the cyanotype print for a long time. If fading occurs, rinse with a mix of 1/2 water and 1/2 hydrogen peroxide.
