Barong/Filipiniana Wash & Care Instructions
How do I wash my Barong or Filipiniana?
- Due to the delicacy of the materials used to make your Barong or Filipiniana, it is highly recommended to HAND WASH your garments. Please AVOID bringing your garments to the dry cleaners in the instance that your items can possibly be damaged.
- Usually you may be able to wear your items 1-2 times before needing to wash or clean.
Hand wash instructions
- Fill a basin or bucket with cold/room temperature water.
- Dilute the water with a small amount of mild detergent.
- Soak your garment in the water and lift the garment up and down, out of the water to wash.
- DO NOT wring or twist the garment.
- If you have a stain on the collar, cuff or arm holes, use a SOFT toothbrush soaked in the soap and water mixture. Gently scrub the stain or dirt to remove and continue the process until it is gone.
- Rinse the garment completely and remove all soap before drying.
- Lay the garment on a flat surface to retain as much of the original shape as possible.
- Once dry, you may use a steamer or iron to remove any wrinkles. Please make sure the setting on your steamer/iron is on the lowest setting possible.
