If you have embroidered mukenas, take care of them by simply soaking them. Never wash embroidery mukena in the washing machine. If there is a stain, simply rub the stain by hand. Then, rinse and dry immediately by aerating it.

Don't bleach

Do not bleach clothes, as this can damage the color and fibers of the fabric on the mucosa. Just use detergent and clothing fragrance to keep it clean and add fragrance to the mucosa.

Use warm water when washing

In order to maintain the durability of the mucosa, you really have to do a little extra to do the maintenance. One of them is washing with warm water. The goal is to maintain the softness of the fabric fibers. When you are about to dry in the sun, avoid squeezing the mucosa too hard because the fibers can be damaged. This is one of the factors that make you look dirty faster.

Avoid excessive sun exposure

Finally, avoid exposure to direct sunlight that is too hot. It is important to keep the color of the mucosa bright. You can dry them under the roof and let the wind dry the mukenas. Not only that, you also have to pay attention to the heat setting of the iron. Iron that is too hot has the risk of damaging the fibers of the fabric.
