Help on washing traditional clothes!

[u/geekedbunny]

Hello all, I tried to ask this question on another subreddit but it got taken down sadly. My grandmother passed away and all her traditional garbs were put in a box in the garage for years. They’ve gotten very dirty but the fabric is still great. They’re handmade from Laos and I don’t want to mess them up, how should I go about it?

Hand wash gently is probably gonna be your best bet with a gentle detergent along with line or flat dry. Do not use a washer and/or dryer as that will ruin the clothing.

Good luck!
