At AlShiaka, we take pride in offering high-quality garments that retain their elegance and durability with proper care. Since different fabrics require specific maintenance methods, follow this guide to keep your wardrobe in pristine condition.
1. Caring for Men's Thobes
🔹 Viscose Fabric:
Hand wash or use a gentle machine cycle with cold water.
Use a mild detergent to preserve softness and sheen.
Avoid tumble drying; lay flat to dry in the shade.
Iron on low heat, placing a cloth between the iron and fabric.
🔹 Polyester Fabric:
Machine wash in warm water using a suitable detergent.
Tumble dry on low heat to maintain its structure.
Iron on medium heat, following the care label instructions.
2. Caring for Thermal Pajamas
Hand wash or use a delicate cycle with cold water to maintain insulation.
Avoid bleach and harsh detergents to preserve fabric quality.
Do not tumble dry; let them air dry in a ventilated area.
Ironing is unnecessary as the fabric retains its shape naturally.
3. Caring for Cotton Fabrics
Wash in lukewarm water to prevent shrinkage.
Iron at a moderate temperature for a polished look.
4. Caring for Underwear & Socks
Hand wash or use a mesh laundry bag in the washing machine at a low temperature.

5. Caring for the Vest (Al-Sudairi)
Dry cleaning is recommended to preserve its structure and shape.
6. Caring for the Shemagh (Traditional Headscarf)
✅ Washing & Drying:
Avoid chlorine-based bleach, as it weakens the fabric.
For new shemaghs, soak in warm water with salt for 2-3 hours to set the color.
Wash with mild soap or specialized shampoo to prevent fading, then air dry.
✅ Ironing & Styling:
Iron while slightly damp using an appropriate heat setting.
Use a starch spray to keep the edges crisp.
