How to Wash Clothes with Rhinestones – A Complete Guide

🧼 How to Wash Clothes with Rhinestones – A Complete Guide

Luopeita, the custom rhinestone clothing factory, offers care tips for lasting sparkle


💡 Why Proper Washing Matters

Rhinestones are beautiful but delicate. Improper washing can loosen glue, damage settings, or dull the sparkle. Whether your rhinestone apparel is factory-pressed, heat-transferred, or hand-applied, following the correct cleaning method ensures your clothes stay glamorous and wearable longer.


🧺 Recommended Washing Methods

1. Hand Wash Only (Best Method)

  • Fill a basin with cold or lukewarm water.

  • Use mild detergent (no bleach, no strong chemicals).

  • Gently agitate with your hands, focusing on non-decorated areas.

  • Avoid scrubbing or wringing over the rhinestones.

✅ Tip: Turn the garment inside out to protect rhinestones during washing.


2. Machine Wash (Not Recommended, but Possible with Caution)

  • Use delicate cycle and cold water.

  • Always place the garment in a laundry bag.

  • Turn inside out and use a mild detergent.

  • No spin-dry or tumble-dry.


🔥 Drying and Ironing

  • Air dry only. Hang or lay flat.

  • Avoid direct sunlight as it can weaken glue.

  • Never put rhinestone clothing in the dryer.

  • Do not iron directly on rhinestones. If needed, place a thin cloth over and use low heat.
