How to Clean the Ghutra Using Starch
How to Care for Your Ghutra Using Starch
Using starch is a great way to keep your Ghutra looking sharp and well-maintained. Known as “Ghutra starch,” this product helps preserve the structured and polished appearance of Ghutras and shemaghs. It’s especially useful for keeping edges crisp and fabric wrinkle-free. Typically, starch is applied during ironing by spraying it onto the fabric beforehand. This process stiffens the Ghutra, ensuring it holds its shape and remains neat for longer.
Starch isn’t just for Ghutras—it’s widely used in maintaining traditional garments like shemaghs and other structured clothing.
Tips from Signature on Using Starch for Ghutras:
Pick the Right Type: Starch is available in liquid or powder form. Choose the one that suits your needs and ensure the concentration is just right for achieving the stiffness you want.
Apply Evenly: For best results, use a spray bottle to distribute the starch across the fabric. Be careful not to over-spray in one spot to avoid clumps or uneven texture.
Iron with Care: Once the starch is applied, iron the Ghutra on a medium heat setting. This helps the starch adhere to the fabric, giving it a polished, long-lasting finish.
Store Safely: After ironing, place the Ghutra in a clean, dry storage bag and keep it away from moisture and direct sunlight. This prevents the fabric from losing its crispness or becoming damaged.
Use Gentle Cleaning Products: Avoid strong detergents that might weaken the fabric or remove the starch. Also, try to store the Ghutra in a low-humidity environment to preserve its texture and shape.
Following these steps will help keep your Ghutra looking fresh and elegant. If you’d like more tips on fabric care, visit Signature’s website for expert advice and recommendations.
