Tips for Washing a Wedding Dress

As the wedding dress is sewn from a very delicate fabric, it is also very thin. The wedding dress will be deformed if you clean it using the slightest wrong or poor quality materials.

  • Wash the soiled skirt with laundry detergent and warm water;
  • Before you start cleaning, you should dust them with a brush;
  • You should immerse the wedding dress in the detergent water you have prepared and never harm it while washing it by hand.

Boiling water will damage the fabric. It is important for those who will wipe with a cloth to perform it using a soft cloth in the style of microfiber.

Washing with Detergent

  • 1 tea glass of gel laundry detergent;
  • A large bowl;
  • Warm water;

It is never recommended to use powder detergents. It will be healthier to use gel detergents that are of good quality and produced in accordance with the type of fabric. First of all, you should brush to remove any dust on a worn wedding dress. While it is recommended to brush with brushes with stiff bristles on other clothes, this is not recommended for bridal gowns. It should be brushed with a brush with soft bristles. Warm water should be placed in a large bowl and gel detergent should be put in it and mix. Dip the wedding dress you brushed and dusted into. You should keep it for 3 hours. After removing it, you should lay it on a flat surface without folding and wipe it with a sponge or soft cloth.During the wiping process, make very slow movements and do not damage the fabric. Finally, you should start from the top of the wedding dress and rinse under plenty of tap water.

For drying, you should hang it on a high place with the help of a hanger. It should dry itself at room temperature.

Removing Sweat Stains

  • 1 bucket of warm water;
  • 1 tea glass of gel laundry detergent;
  • Large bowl;
  • Brush, soft cloth or sponge.

In order to remove the dust on the wedding dress, you should brush it with a brush with soft bristles. A large bowl filled with warm water should be filled with warm water and 250 grams of salt should be added. By mixing, the salt should melt and it should be pressed into the wedding dress. It should hold for 3 hours.

After removing it, it should be placed on a flat surface and wiped with a damp cloth. Then, the general cleaning that we have written above should be performed.

Drying and Ironing the Wedding Dress

In order not to damage the wedding dress, it must first be dried with careful and delicate movements. Afterwards, it should be hung on a high place with the help of a hanger to dry and the water on it should be drained automatically. Since the wedding dress is made of a delicate fabric, it should not be ensured that the water comes out by squeezing it. If the white wedding dress uses any heater or sunlight for the drying process, it causes the fabric to turn yellow. In order to prevent deformation, care should be taken to always dry the synthetic fabric in room temperature after the excess water flows with the hanger.

The wedding dress that you have washed at home must be ironed after it dries. Since the fabric will wrinkle, you should definitely use a new or clean iron to straighten it. You should always know the type of fabric produced in the wedding dress. In the absence of instructions for use, you should bring the temperature of the iron to a low temperature. If the iron is old and used too much, it will leave a mark on the wedding dress. First, you need to wash the corset and sleeve parts. Since the skirt is hard and made of layers of fabric, it should be ironed last.
