Cleaning dip dye

[na294]

ok so i took the plunge or rather the scarf did and its hanging to dry on a chair as we speak

i didnt use any soap since i had no stains just water spots so it was just warm water and then rinsed with cold

so nervous i hope it turns out well...

Had to think of you all day, while wearing my dipdye as belt today. Everything OK with your scarf?

Hi everyone!

So it looks so much better! The water spots are gone. But some dye deposited (even though i didn't use soap or see dye in the water) in a crease from where it has previously been worn (where it draped since I always wore it cowboy style) but it fits the dip dye image of looking a bit worn and not so pristine. So overall a success!

Thanks so much for everyones help!

Same for me. I didn't really recognize it till I ironed the scarf in the evening. For me it doesn't look bad, but you are right. Congratulations anyway that you got rid of the spots.
