After engaging in a labor-intensive process, it's natural to wonder about preserving and caring for your fabrics. That's why I always advise my fellow natural dye enthusiasts to hand wash their eco-printed garments. It's the most effective way to maintain vibrancy and the overall aesthetic.

However, life can be busy, and we don't always have the luxury of time. In such cases, it's perfectly acceptable to machine wash your eco-printed fabrics—just ensure it's done on a very low and gentle cycle.

Additionally, it's crucial to be aware that most washing powders and soaps are harsh and can strip color from your eco-printed fabrics. Instead, opt for a pH-neutral, natural detergent that will gently cleanse and preserve your material.
