How you handle your hijab after washing will determine how many years the hijab will uphold its colour and texture. If you want to enhance the longevity of your hijabs, there are certain best practices you can employ to aid this. To maintain the colour and texture of your hijab, follow these steps:

The Optimal Washing Method

Essentially, the key to ensuring your hijabs last a lifetime begins with how you wash them. Where possible, wash your hijabs by hand in warm water with mild detergent and be sure to wash them alongside similar colours. 

Now that your hijabs have been cleaned of any dirt and debris, here are some steps to follow to help maintain the colour and texture of your hijab after washing:

Handle With Care

When your hijab is wet, avoid wringing it out as doing so may deteriorate the texture and cause it to become misshapen. Instead, gently squeeze excess water out and then lay it flat on a towel to help aid the absorption.

Air Dry

Be sure not to tumble dry your hijab, instead, air dry it flat in an area with sufficient ventilation and away from direct sunlight.

Iron with Caution

To remove creases safely, iron over a pressing cloth on a low heat setting to protect any texture or embellishments. Always test on an inconspicuous area first as an extra precaution.

Storage

Once your hijab is clean and crease-free, fold it gently and store it flat in an air-tight box for ultimate protection.
