How to Wash?
1) Hand wash with hand-washing detergent. NO MACHINE WASH
2) Wash in cool or tepid (temperate) water.
3) Never wring, twist, or bunch up rayon. Shake it out gently and smooth out the wrinkles with your hands.
4) Hang it on a non-metal hanger to dry
5) Be sure to iron all rayon inside out to prevent it from shining. Use low heat and press it while it is slightly damp to ease the wrinkling.
Or you can dry-clean it. It's easier, but definitely not eco-friendly anymore though...
