Easy care tips for hemp products: Keep them fresh and long-lasting

Hemp fabric is a durable, eco-friendly material that gets softer with every wash. To extend the life of your hemp products and maintain their natural beauty, it’s important to follow proper hemp care instructions—especially if your item is made with natural dyes.

General Care Instructions for Hemp Products

Washing: Use cold water without detergent, or with a mild, biodegradable detergent. Hand wash only. Do not soak or wring it.
Drying: hang dry in shade to preserve their strength and texture. Avoid direct sunlight, which may cause fading.
Ironing: Hemp can be ironed on medium heat while still slightly damp.
Storage: store in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight.

Hemp fabric boasts inherent antibacterial and anti-mold properties, making it naturally resistant to microbial growth. The glossy texture of hemp limits dust accumulation, reducing the need for frequent washing. Embrace these natural attributes by washing your hemp products only when necessary, thereby prolonging their lifespan.

Difference Between Raw Hemp and Natural Dyed Hemp

Raw hemp fabric is undyed and naturally beige or grey in tone. It’s relatively easy to care for and can withstand frequent washing without much change in color.

Natural dyed hemp, on the other hand, is colored using plant-based dyes. These dyes are more sensitive to sunlight, detergents with bleach, and hot water. To preserve the color of naturally dyed hemp fabric:

Wash quickly and separetely with cold water to avoid color bleeding.
Use pH-neutral, non-bleach detergent only.
Avoid soaking or rubbing the fabric too hard.
Air-dry in the shade.
Be careful of brown & white mix. It is necessary to wash with plenty of water to dissolve the excess brown pigment from yam root. Otherwise, it can stick to the white fabric and leave stain when dried.

Use hemp products into your lifestyle not only supports sustainability but also offers you durable and versatile items. By following these hemp product care tips, you’ll help preserve the color, texture, and longevity of your items.
