HOW TO CARE FOR  MUDCLOTH

Care Instructions: Only wash when absolutely necessary! Use chemical free soap (such as Castile Soap) and cold water. Submerge your Mudcloth, stir gently, let sit for about 5 mins. Remove Mudcloth and GENTLY ring out excess water. Hang dry or lay flat. Iron on back of fabric, on cotton setting if needed. Tip - to help "set" color and reduce fading/transferring, you can add a small amount of vinegar to the water while washing.


DISPLAYING MUDCLOTH

Suggestion: Hand sew velcro strip(s) to top back of Mudcloth. Cut wood trim piece the length of Mudcloth. Staple opposing velcro strip to wood trim. Nail/screw wood trim to wall.  Velcro Mudcloth to wood trim.  This allows Mudcloth to "float" off the wall and hang naturally.
