How Do I Care for Clothes with Rhinestones?
To care for clothes with rhinestones:
- Turn the garment inside out before washing to protect the rhinestones from damage.
- Wash the garment in cold water on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent.
- Avoid using fabric softeners and bleach as they can damage the rhinestones.
- Hang the garment to dry or lay it flat, but avoid putting it in the dryer.
If some rhinestones have fallen off, replace them with fabric glue and new rhinestones.
- Store the garment in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the rhinestones from fading or discoloring.
- Avoid ironing the rhinestone areas directly as heat can cause the stones to loosen or fall off. If you need to iron the garment, turn it inside out and use a low-heat setting, or place a cloth between the iron and the rhinestones.
- Don’t use a brush or abrasive materials to clean the rhinestones, as this can scratch or damage them. Instead, gently wipe the rhinestones with a soft cloth or sponge.
Be careful when wearing the garment, as sharp or rough surfaces can also scratch or damage the rhinestones. Try to avoid rubbing the rhinestone areas against anything, and don’t tug or pull on the stones.
By following these tips, you can help keep your clothes with rhinestones looking their best for longer.
