Bogolan cloth is a 100% handmade cotton fabric which may display irregularities in color or design, due to the naturalness of the hand-made work. It is a delicate fabric. It can be washed gently by hand in cold water with a mild detergent without much color loss. However, as the dyes are natural and may wash out over time, dry cleaning is preferable. We recommend washing it only when necessary.
