Nigerian native attire is renowned for its vibrant colors, intricate designs, and cultural significance. However, maintaining these beautiful garments can be a challenging task. Here are some reasons why cleaning Nigerian native attire is particularly difficult:

1. Delicate Fabrics and Embellishments
Many Nigerian traditional clothes, such as the agbada, Ankara, and lace, are made from delicate fabrics that require special care. These fabrics often include intricate embroidery, beadwork, and sequins that can be easily damaged during the cleaning process. The fragility of these materials necessitates gentle handling, making it difficult to clean them without causing harm.

2. Color Fastness
The vibrant colors of Nigerian attire, achieved through traditional dyeing techniques, can easily bleed or fade when exposed to water or harsh cleaning agents. This color fastness issue means that conventional washing methods, like machine washing or the use of strong detergents, are not suitable for these garments. Special care must be taken to prevent colors from running, which can ruin the intricate patterns and designs.

3. Specialized Cleaning Methods
Given the unique characteristics of the fabrics and the potential for color bleeding, Nigerian native attire often requires specialized cleaning methods. Hand washing in cold water with mild detergents is commonly recommended, but this can be time-consuming and labor-intensive. In some cases, professional dry cleaning might be necessary, but finding a dry cleaner experienced in handling traditional African garments can be challenging.

From discussions with our team of experts on ground, here are a few tips on combating blood stains. As with all stains the sooner you deal with the stain the better and it’s pertinent to avoid contact between heat and the garment.

Get cold water the colder the better, do not apply too much water else the stain will run further to other parts of the garment. Dab with a wet cloth, then blot with a dry cloth, repeat until you have removed as much as blood as possible. Then if available you can apply Ammonia.

If possible, rinse or dab the place coffee lands immediately with cold water and then follow up with your preferred cleaning agent. Whether it’s your shirt, the carpet or your cup, keeping coffee’s moisture from evaporating before you dilute it will prevent the stain from setting.

When a coffee stain dries, an interesting coffee-ring phenomenon occurs. Please note that the edge of the droplet (the contact line) gets ‘pinned’ at points on the surface,” creating a coffee ring.

For clothing or other household fabrics that can be washed in the washing machine, apply your stain-removing alkaline cleaner and allow it to soak the stain for half an hour before washing. The added wait will help dissolve the stain.

Remember to wash with cold water, because heat naturally causes stains to set in porous materials like fabric or even your teeth. Another thing to keep in mind is that some fabrics are more stain-prone than others.

Coffee sticks to different fabrics with varying tenacity: “Coffee stain has little affinity to polyester fibers but adheres to cotton and even more firmly to nylon.

Therefore depending on what type of fabric fiber your coffee stains different cleaning agents may need to be employed, with nylon being the trickiest for stain removal.

For nylon, a stain remover containing bleach may be your only solution, but it will require care to avoid discoloring the dye used in the fabric. However, alkaline detergents and cleaners containing Hydrogen Peroxide or baking soda should work on polyester or cotton.
