How to Care for Your Hanfu

Washing

• Hanfu garments are often delicate, especially those with embroidery. Handwashing is recommended.
• If you prefer to use a washing machine, choose the gentlest cycle and place the Hanfu in a laundry bag for added protection.
• After washing, air-dry indoors in a well-ventilated area.
• Avoid direct sunlight, as it can cause color fading.

Storage

• Store your Hanfu in breathable garment bags to keep it clean and protected.
• Avoid hanging for long periods, as this can stretch or distort the fabric.
• Instead, gently fold your Hanfu and store it flat or stack it neatly in a storage box or drawer.
