How do I care for products?Wash clothes Vietcharm products should be hand-washed or dry-cleaned. You should use a mild detergent (shampoo, shower gel) to wash your ao dai instead of regular laundry detergent. Absolutely do not use bleach. Wash separately from other clothes In case you cannot hand wash, you can machine wash with the lightest wash mode, remember to use a laundry bag. However, with silk and brocade, Vietcharm still encourages customers to hand-wash For new fabric products that are still stiff, you can soak in fabric softener to soften the surface for more comfortable wearing. Drying clothes Dry the ao dai in a ventilated, moderately sunny place to avoid fading. Too much sunlight will cause the ao dai to fade and lose its shine Iron Iron on the lightest setting Iron the inside to secure the fabric surface. It is recommended to use a steam iron. If using a regular iron, you should place a wet piece of paper on the fabric surface before ironing Care If you do not wear ao dai often, you should hang your ao dai or put it in a clean bag and place it in the closet so that your ao dai is always clean, soft, and dust-free. Avoid hanging the ao dai on the hanger for too long as it will cause the colour of the ao dai to fade For accessories, Try to keep the jewellery from getting wet by removing them before you shower, go to the sauna or take a swim. You can take care of your jewellery by cleaning them with mild soap water and then oiling them afterwards. Oils that are suitable for this purpose are among others coconut oil, olive oil or any other kind of natural oil. By oiling the wooden jewellery you keep the wood from cracking and the surface of the jewellery stays beautiful.

How do I care for products?Wash clothes Vietcharm products should be hand-washed or dry-cleaned. You should use a mild detergent (shampoo, shower gel) to wash your ao dai instead of regular laundry detergent. Absolutely do not use bleach. Wash separately from other clothes In case you cannot hand wash, you can machine wash with the lightest wash mode, remember to use a laundry bag. However, with silk and brocade, Vietcharm still encourages customers to hand-wash For new fabric products that are still stiff, you can soak in fabric softener to soften the surface for more comfortable wearing. Drying clothes Dry the ao dai in a ventilated, moderately sunny place to avoid fading. Too much sunlight will cause the ao dai to fade and lose its shine Iron Iron on the lightest setting Iron the inside to secure the fabric surface. It is recommended to use a steam iron. If using a regular iron, you should place a wet piece of paper on the fabric surface before ironing Care If you do not wear ao dai often, you should hang your ao dai or put it in a clean bag and place it in the closet so that your ao dai is always clean, soft, and dust-free. Avoid hanging the ao dai on the hanger for too long as it will cause the colour of the ao dai to fade For accessories, Try to keep the jewellery from getting wet by removing them before you shower, go to the sauna or take a swim. You can take care of your jewellery by cleaning them with mild soap water and then oiling them afterwards. Oils that are suitable for this purpose are among others coconut oil, olive oil or any other kind of natural oil. By oiling the wooden jewellery you keep the wood from cracking and the surface of the jewellery stays beautiful.
