1. Hand Wash Only: Most naturally dyed clothes should be hand-washed to preserve the delicate dyes and prevent color fading.

2. Use Cold Water: Always wash these garments in cold water to prevent color bleeding and fading.

3. Avoid Harsh Detergents: Use mild, natural, or eco-friendly detergents without harsh chemicals that can harm the natural dyes.

4. Short Soak Only: Limit soaking time to a brief period, as prolonged soaking may lead to uneven dye absorption.

5. Gentle Agitation: When hand-washing, gently agitate the water to clean the clothes without stressing the dyes.

6. Dry in Shade: Always air-dry naturally dyed clothes in the shade to protect the colors from fading due to sunlight exposure.

7. Separate Colors: Wash naturally dyed clothes separately, especially during the first few washes, to avoid color transfer.

8. Avoid Bleaching Agents: Never use bleach or harsh stain removers on these clothes, as they can damage the dyes.

9. Iron with Care: Iron on a low heat setting, and preferably with a cloth between the iron and the garment to protect the dye.

10. Store Properly: When storing these clothes, ensure they are clean and dry, and avoid folding or storing them with dark-colored garments that may bleed onto them.
