Fabric Care Guide
Cotton
It is generally quite elastic, breathable and able to withstand high temperatures. Although it is easy to wash at home, it is a material that is easily affected by dyes.
- Machine wash in cold or hot water on the "weak" setting. Please note that bleach will damage the material.
- When drying in a dryer, use the setting of "low/medium". Sun drying is also possible.
- Aloha shirts tend to get wrinkled after washing, so you can iron the aloha shirt at a low temperature to smooth out the wrinkles. For Hawaiian dresses, use a steamer to gently smooth out wrinkles.
- Ironing at a low temperature, tumble drying on low heat, and storing in a cool, dry place out of the sun are key to prolonging the life of cotton aloha shirts and Hawaiian dresses.
- Please note that it may shrink slightly after washing.
Rayon
It is a material that is characterized by a comfortable feel and a glossy sheen, and it is a material that drapes beautifully.
- The best way to care for your rayon Hawaiian shirt is to hand wash in cold water and dry outside in a shady, well-ventilated area. (Do not use bleach)
- If it is soaked in water for a long time, the strength of the fiber will decrease, and it will shrink a little after washing.
- It has the disadvantage of being prone to wrinkling, but you can smooth out wrinkles by ironing it at a low temperature.
- For Hawaiian dresses, please use the cleaning service as much as possible. Please be careful about shrinkage when washing by yourself.
Polycotton
It is characterized by its crisp and firm material, excellent durability, quick drying, and wrinkle resistance.
- Machine wash in cold or warm water on the "medium" setting. Please note that bleach will damage the material.
- When drying in a dryer, use the setting of "low/medium". Sun drying is also possible.
- Aloha shirts can be ironed at a low temperature to smooth out wrinkles. Hawaiian dresses should also be ironed at a low temperature or using a steamer to gently smooth out wrinkles.
- Polycotton materials are generally colorfast, but using strong detergents or drying at high temperatures may cause the colors to fade or the dye to bleed.
