Ankara Fabrics – how to take care of ankara fabric
Last Night I had a girls’ day out with a friend and I arrived at the restaurant before her. As soon as she stepped in, her Ankara fabric top and pant caught my eyes. It was lovely…until she got close! The ankara fabric looked tired!
What is a Fabric and Ankara Fabric ?
A “fabric” is defined as any thin, flexible material made from yarn, directly from fibers, polymeric film, foam, or any combination of these techniques. Fabric has a broader application than cloth.
After a few minutes of gisting, I asked where she got the top. She told me and painfully, it was just 1 weeks old! Apparently, she spilled ketchup on the top the first time she wore it and washing it was the end of the fabric. She was determined to wear it one more time before letting go, and our hangout was picked as the perfect day, after all, what are friends for?
How to Care for Ankara Fabric
Anyway, you can bet I did an impromptu class on how to care for Ankara fabrics just for her, and to help you avoid a bad Ankara fabric day like my dear friend, I’ll share five tips from our conversation;
1. Most people take out stains with bleach but you don’t want to ever use bleach on your Ankara fabric! A quick stain hack is to put a little vinegar in your wash water. Remember to rinse thoroughly so you don’t go around smelling like salad or a DIY hair solution.
2. Remember to turn your Ankara fabric clothing inside out. This is necessary when using a washing machine.
3. Turn off the spin cycle and use the mild cycle. Hand washing your Ankara fabic is more advisable though.
4. Using harsh detergents is an Ankara fabric crime, if you’re hand washing, a mild bar soap is strongly recommended.
5. Don’t leave it out to dry in the sun for too long and when ironing, take a minute to turn inside out and iron on low heat.
Ankara fabric is a great way to celebrate your heritage and look trendy, and with some TLC for your Ankara fabric, you’ll have a stress-less time rocking it.
