Be sure to check garment labels or care labels before washing the canvas. For dyed or raw canvas, use a gentle cycle with warm water, taking care not to mix light – dark colors as they can get to slide. In addition, we recommend using a mild detergent and preferably it should be air dried to care for the fibers.
