CARE & CLEAN

Cotton fiber comes from a cotton plant, which makes it a 100% natural material. Cotton is soft and pleasant to touch, yet it is very durable. To ensure your new macramé art lives a long a happy life, please follow these instructions on proper care and maintenance.

 

Hanging your Macrame

​

• Cotton fiber macrame pieces are meant to be used indoors. If you plan on hanging your art outdoors, ensure you protect it from the sun and water exposure.

• Keep the fibers away from an open flame (candles, fireplaces)

​

Cleaning Macrame

 

Dust/dirt accumulation

​

• Spot clean with white, damp cloth using a mild detergent

• Always use cold water to prevent shrinkage

• Avoid any detergents with bleach

• To dry, hang in a well ventilated area

 

Spilled coffee/wine

​

• Clean while the stain is fresh

• Run your item under the cold tap through the back of the stain for 3-5 minutes, and then rub the stain gently

• Use mild detergent as needed

 

Look out for pests

 

Like any other natural fiber (for example, wool or silk) cotton can become a food source for various pests. To prevent this from happening, make sure to remove any dust at least once a month from your macrame by using a white damp cloth and duster.

 

Ironing and Steaming Macrame

 

You can iron or use a steamer on your macrame piece to remove any wrinkles caused by washing or shipping.

​

Brushing Fringes

​

Take care with the fringes. I recommend using a pet brush with the tiny metal teeth or a metal comb. Gently does it!
