Caution for wearing

All items in ‘HANA-NO Shirts’ series are made with Kimono or Obi (sash) fabric, and most of which is 100% silk.
Please be careful with sweat and ultraviolet to which silk is sensitive.

Washing

Dry-clean (soapless washing) for HANANO-Shirts made of silk.

For a shirt with gold thread and/or embroidery, we recommend dry-clean by a specialist. Please consult with a cleaner for dry cleaning.

The following is how to wash in cold water with less damaging if you prefer to wash it by yourself. Stains will be removed well, but please wash it at your own risk since it may damage the fabric.

• (1)Be sure to hand wash. Soak the shirt completely with lukewarm water in a large basin or sink, and add detergent for silk a little less than the designated amount.
• (2)Fold the shirt neatly so that it won’t be all wrinkled, and push lightly to wash.
  Normal stain will be removed in about 5 minutes, but adjust the time based on the stain.
• (3)Rinse the shirt, in the same way as the above pushing to wash in order to avoid wrinkles.
  Change water 3 to 4 times for rinsing. The secret is to add one more rinsing when it seems enough.
• (4)For dehydrating, fold the shirt to avoid wrinkles before putting it into a dehydrator. Do not spin-dry for more than 30 seconds.
• (5)Dry the shirt after spin-dry in a hanger, but avoid direct sunlight as much as possible.
• (6)When it’s dry, warm iron the shirt, and be sure to use a damp cloth for pressing.

The advantage of washing in water is that sweat and protein stain can be removed well and you won’t smell annoying dry-cleaning solvent. Your effort in caring will bring comfortable wearing.
On the other hand, rubbing during washing may damage colors of the fabric and a home-use iron may leave some wrinkles.
