Beading brings flair to our clothes but it needs special care to keep it looking its best. First, check the garment label to see if the garment is machine or hand washable. If it says dry clean only, believe the label.
Button or zip the garment completely. Turn the garment inside out so that the beading is protected. Use the gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. If hand washing, use cool water and a detergent designed for hand washing. Do not scrub vigorously or wring the garment tightly. Never put beaded garments in the dryer; this could melt the beading. If the garment is woven, it can be hung to dry. Knitted items should be dried flat.
