How Do I Wash My Faja Colombiana?

Proper care and washing of your Faja Colombiana will extend its lifespan and maintain its shape and elasticity. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Hand Wash Recommended: Fill a basin with lukewarm water and add a gentle detergent designed for delicate fabrics. Submerge the faja, and gently massage it to remove any dirt, sweat, or oil.

2. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach, fabric softener, or other harsh chemicals as they can degrade the fabric and elastic properties of the faja.

3. Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the faja well to remove all detergent. Any leftover residue can cause skin irritation.

4. Air Dry: Lay your faja flat on a clean towel to air dry. Do not wring or twist the garment to remove water, and avoid using a dryer, as heat can damage the material.

Taking proper care of your faja will ensure that it remains effective for body shaping and support over time.
