Care Guide For Handmade Kindle Cover

Handcrafted quality deserves a light touch. A little care goes a long way. Use this guide to keep your cover looking its best.

Materials: Cover and lining 100% cotton canvas; middle layer: polyester padding (vatelin).

Washing

· Handwash in cold or lukewarm water with a mild liquid detergent.

· Do not soak longer than 10–15 minutes; this preserves padding loft.

· Gently press water through the layers; avoid scrubbing to prevent clumping.

Drying

· Do not wring; press out excess water gently between clean towels.

· Reshape and smooth seams, then dry flat in the shade.

· Avoid radiators, direct sun, and tumble dryers; heat can shrink cotton canvas.

· Flip once or twice during drying to prevent moisture being trapped in the padding.

Stain care

· Spot clean fresh stains with diluted mild detergent; blot, don’t rub.

· For oily spots, a tiny drop of gentle dish soap can help; rinse thoroughly right away.

· Avoid chlorine bleach.

Ironing and heat

· If needed, iron on medium heat with a pressing cloth.

· Avoid heavy steam; do not heat padded sections or metal/zipper parts directly.

Protection and storage

· Store in a cool, dry place, flat or loosely folded; avoid prolonged compression to keep the padding from flattening.

Color care

· Wash separately the first few times; slight color bleed is possible.

· When damp, keep away from dark denim and highly dyed items to avoid dye transfer.

Avoid

· Strong machine cycles, tumble drying, wringing, stiff brushes, and solvent- or alcohol-based cleaners.

· Extended soaking, as it can flatten the padding.
