Recently purchased some wonderful hijabs and afraid to wash them or take the wrinkles out with an iron? Inshallah you'll find today's advice helpful!
I would really recommend investing in a small steam iron which are best because there is no worries to burn your hijabs. We have to admit at times that sometimes we can be a little domestically challenged..hehehe Ironing I've tried to master it and till now haven't ;)
The way you wash your hijabs is wash them in cold water, but not freezing cold, rather colder than room temperature in lightly soapy water with no bleach. Swish it around gently in a basin, and rinse it out in clean water using the same swishing motion; as if you're waving "good-bye". If the hijab has embroidery or beads do not wring out the water before hanging it up to dry and hang it just like that instead. When dry, use an iron to take the wrinkles out or use a steam iron which is recommended.
Those of you who are thinking of putting your hijab in the microwave...something tells me it's not a good idea;)
Lastly, if you haven't done so already, get a good hijab hanger currently offered for only $9.99
Happy hijabing and handle them with care inshallah:)
