Special Notes
• Hand wash or dry clean depending on fiber content
• Iron on reverse side only
Additional Care Tips
- • Hand wash in cold water (30°C/85°F) with mild detergent, or dry clean for best results
- • Never wring or twist — gently press water out between towels
- • Iron on the lowest heat setting on the reverse (matte) side, or use a press cloth on the shiny side
- • Air dry flat or on a padded hanger — never tumble dry; heat damages the smooth weave
- • Store on padded hangers to prevent creasing; avoid wire hangers that can snag the surface
- • Handle with care — satin snags easily on rough surfaces, jewelry, and Velcro
