Caring for your Kikoy
Kikoy Squares
Kikoys wash beautifully. Because your Kikoy is made from natural cotton we recommend a gentle machine wash. Set on cool or warm wash up to 30 degrees. Rinse thoroughly and line dry in the shade.
The Kikoy dyes are colourfast but like all cottons it is advisable to wash separately the first time.
After a couple of washes your Kikoy will become very soft.
Tip: Always dry your kikoy towel with the kikoy facing inwards and the toweling facing outwards. Dries wonderfully crease free
Just remember not to dry clean, hot tumble dry or bleach your Kikoy or you will spoil the vibrant colours. Kikoys can be ironed with a steam iron but they are such a beautiful fabric that after the first wash, it often isn’t necessary to do so.
Customers tell me that they are still wearing their favourite Kikoys after 10- 15 years.
