6 Best Ways To Keep Your Ankara From Fading by Monalisa185(f): 10:41am On May 04, 2016 |
Caring for your ankara fabric requires having a basic knowledge of what type of fabric it is. The hydrophilic nature of ankara fabric gives it the ability to absorb moisture quickly and dry fast. This gives the fabric a cooling effect and makes it perfect for sunny weather. These are the six best ways to keep your ankara from fading; 1.Don’t wash with detergent: It’s preferable to use mild soap when washing with hands, instead of detergent. Detergents easily fade fabrics as they are very harsh, especially on the ankara fabric. 2.Launder ankara only when necessary: It’s not advisable to wash this fabric often. Just launder only when the need arises. 3.Hand wash your ankara: If you wish to enjoy your fabric, wash with hands.Washing machines and dryers can be extremely rough on the ankara fabric that you put inside them. 4.Use Baking soda: Stains are sometimes unavoidable. Try using baking soda or an alternative that is not as harsh as bleach to get rid of stains on your ankara fabric. 5.Treat only the areas that need to be cleaned: There just occasions whereby you just need to treat only the spots or areas that need to be cleaned and let it air dry. 6.Tossing: Try tossing your ankara fabric into the wash with a tablespoon of salt. The chloride content of the salt will help seal the colour in. This also works for scarves and rugs. Do well to pamper your ankara fabric; treat it with great care! www.madivas.com/6-best-ways-to-keep-your-ankara-fabric-from-fading/ 29 Likes 16 Shares

Chumani: Toh! Bakwomi! Hope I got that correctly? Of course, yes, I have 2 Ankara wears I sewed late 2014, they are still very much intact... Once you don't over-use it and the above rules are followed (2 or 3 of the rules, at least), you'll be rocking your Ankara even after 2 years...but the Ankara must be of a high quality in order to ease maintenance, as you know, nothing of low quality lasts for long! ![]() 2 Likes 1 Share |

skarlett: Lol, I understand your plight though, but it's best you said 'some Nigerian tailors'...I was once in your shoes, not until I found the right tailor for the job, costs a 'fortune', but he knows his job perfectly...I hope you find your mr/Mrs right(tailor).. ![]() |
