Hanfu care depends on fabric, construction, and decoration. Silk, brocade, jacquard, and embroidery each react differently to water, heat, friction, and storage pressure.
Washing
For delicate pieces, dry cleaning or careful hand washing is usually safer than machine washing. Use cool water and mild detergent when hand washing is allowed.
Storage
Store clean and fully dry. Fold along existing construction lines when possible, and avoid crushing pleats for long periods.
