If you’ve ever bought a block print sarong, you know there’s something special about them. The pattern has a wonderful handmade charm, the fabric is soft and airy, and honestly, you can feel the hard work that went into making it. Maybe you bought it from a beachside market, a cute little boutique, or a brand like Bagwalas. No matter where it came from, one thing’s for sure: it’s special. Block printing is an age-old art that requires some serious skill. Artisans carve these wooden blocks by hand (which is a whole process in itself), dip them in dye, and press them onto the fabric to create those detailed, repeating designs. It’s all done by hand, so no two pieces are ever exactly the same—that’s the magic of it.
Whether you want to enjoy your beach days or want to protect your skin from the scorching sun, this beach sarong wrap is a great option. If you want your sarongs to last for a long time, then it is very important to wash and maintain them properly. Let’s maintain that beauty just the way it was with some tips given here.

Washing Your Block Print Sarong
Washing sarongs is very important, so let’s start by washing first. Cotton sarongs can be great to hand wash because they are delicate and soft. Take cold water in a basin, add light detergent and soak the sarong in it for some time. After a while, take out the sarong from it and start washing it gently, but be careful not to rub it as it may get damaged. If you feel the need to wash it in a machine, you can do it, but avoid the machine. To be safe, wash your new sarong alone for the first few times.
Drying Your Sarong
The sarong is made of very delicate material, so instead of drying it in the dryer, lay it flat on a clean towel or hang it in the shade. Be careful not to dry it in the sun as it can ruin the print and colour of the block print scarf. Strong UV rays fade the natural colours faster. Tumble drying will stiffen the fabric and cause shrinkage, so let it dry slowly in a shady place.
Ironing & Storing Your Sarong
Iron only when you feel the need to; for example, if the sarong appears to be wrinkled, start ironing on a low setting. Avoid plastic bags, which can trap moisture and cause mould. You can use cotton bags to store the sarong as this keeps it well and prevents shrinkage.
Storing Your Sarong
Proper storage keeps your Beach Sarong looking fresh forever and ready to wear anytime. You can store it neatly folded in a cotton bag. Never store the sarong in a plastic bag or box. Store it in a dark, dry and cool place. Use natural repellents to keep insects away. Keep it away from wooden or metal surfaces, as this may damage the fabric.
