How to wash your rhinestone
embellished garments.
You have spent your hard earned money on a custom garment embellished with rhinestones.
Now how do you keep the garment looking great and keep the rhinestones from falling off?
First, we use quality rhinestones and adhesive glues that will withstand many washes.
With a little extra care, your new garment can last you years.
Preferred Method
- Handwash your garments in cool or warm water – not hot water taking care not to soak them longer than a couple of minutes. Use very little soap.
- Hang to dry out of the heat or direct sunlight. Once dry, you can fluff in the dryer for a maximum of 5 minutes.
Alternative Method
- Treat any marks and stains being careful not to get the chemicals and treatments to the rhinestones. These chemicals can damage the glue holding on the rhinestones.
- Turn your rhinestone garment inside out. Zip all zippers and button all buttons. This will help prevent wear and tear on the shirt and help to keep the rhinestones from catching on other clothes in the wash.
- Wash in a gently cycle with similar colored items. Do Not Bleach! Bleach can also damage the glue holding on the rhinestones.
- Hang to dry. The heat and tumbling action of the dryer can damage the glue and cause your rhinestones to get caught on other items in the load.
Note:
- Do not use bleach or vinegar in the water as these can damage the glue holding the rhinestones in place.
- Do not let iron touch rhinestone areas. The heat can melt the glue loosening the rhinestones
