Embroidered Hanfu and Chinese-style clothing can last longer when handled gently. Many pieces use decorative buttons, embroidery, jacquard texture, or layered fabrics that need more care than everyday machine-wash clothing.
Check the fabric and decoration first
If a piece has embroidery, delicate buttons, beads, or a structured shape, hand washing or professional cleaning is usually safer. Do not twist embroidered areas, because that can distort the threads and fabric surface.
Dry flat or hang carefully
After washing, press water out with a towel and dry away from direct sun. Heavy skirts should be supported so the waistband does not stretch. Use padded hangers for tops with shoulder structure.
Steam instead of high heat ironing
Steam can remove wrinkles without pressing embroidery flat. If ironing is needed, use low heat, a pressing cloth, and test a hidden area first.
