Hijab Care Instructions

Proper care will help your Urban Veil hijabs maintain their beauty, softness, and longevity. Follow these guidelines to keep your hijabs looking their best.

Modal Hijabs

Washing

  • Hand wash recommended: Use cold or lukewarm water with a gentle detergent
  • Machine wash: If using a machine, select delicate cycle with cold water
  • Place in a mesh laundry bag to protect the fabric
  • Wash with similar colors to prevent color bleeding
  • Avoid harsh detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners

Drying

  • Air dry flat or hang to dry away from direct sunlight
  • Do not tumble dry - heat can damage modal fibers
  • Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric

Ironing

  • Iron on low to medium heat if needed
  • Use a pressing cloth to protect printed designs
  • Modal typically requires minimal ironing due to its natural drape

Jersey Hijabs

Washing

  • Machine wash on gentle cycle with cold water
  • Use mild detergent
  • Wash with similar colors
  • Avoid bleach and harsh chemicals

Drying

  • Air dry or tumble dry on low heat
  • Remove promptly to prevent wrinkles
  • Jersey fabric is naturally wrinkle-resistant

Ironing

Pashmina Hijabs

Washing

General Care Tips
