Dry Clean Only \u2013 No Exceptions<\/strong><br>Velvet and hand embroidery do not survive washing machines. The agitation will loosen threads, and water can cause velvet to lose its nap (the soft, raised texture). Take your Toghu to a professional dry cleaner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Never Use Bleach<\/strong><br>Bleach destroys the vibrant yellow, orange, red, and gold threads that make Toghu so striking. If you need to spot-clean, use a mild traditional soap (&#8220;local soup&#8221;) on a damp cloth \u2013 and test on an inconspicuous area first&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ultimatetraditionaldesigns.com\/product\/traditional-bamileke-prince-attire\/?add-to-cart=119\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Store Correctly<\/strong><br>Do not fold your Toghu tightly \u2013 creases can become permanent. Instead:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Hang<\/strong>\u00a0on a wide, padded hanger (thin hangers will stretch the shoulders)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Or lay flat<\/strong>\u00a0in a breathable garment bag<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep away from direct sunlight, which fades colors<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. Address Stains Immediately<\/strong><br>If you spill something at a ceremony:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Blot (do not rub) with a clean, dry cloth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Take to a dry cleaner as soon as possible<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not use water \u2013 it can set the stain<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Special Care for Ndop (Indigo Cloth)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ndop is more durable than velvet, but it requires its own attention:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Indigo can bleed<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Wash separately or dry clean<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Avoid harsh detergents<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 They strip the natural dye<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Iron on the reverse side<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Use medium heat, never directly on the white patterns<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You Invested in Royalty.
