Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal results, it is recommended to pre-wash the fabric before starting your project to account for any initial shrinkage. Because of the delicate nature of the batik process and the dye, hand washing in cool water is essential. Avoid using harsh bleaching agents or aggressive detergents. When pressing your project, use a medium heat setting with a pressing cloth to protect the fibers. Store the fabric in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading of the green dye.
