Do you wonder why our grandma's sarong & kebaya long lasting?
Actually it's very simple. No need to pay for dry cleaning, cos dry cleaning using chemical. Here is the tips from my grandma:
Washing
-
Our recommendation is hand washing.
-
Even though the best to wash your kebaya & batik are using batik cleaner called lerak soap (soap made from nut), but you can use other altervative: non-alkaline soap or baby shampoo.
note: Detergents can damage the fabric in batik. It fade the colors and patterns.
-
Soak batik for 5-10 mins in water & baby shampoo. Rinse with clean water.
Drying
-
​Hang on the windy place (no sun directly). Leave it dry naturally.
-
Do not put the batik in the dryer. Doing so can damage the silk fiber and cause fading in colour.
Ironing
-
Flip your kebaya & batik inside-out and using medium heat.
