How to maintain cheongsam?

Nowadaysmost cheongsam women wear are made of brocade, which can't bewashed with water, nor can it be washed by washing mechine.You'd better send it to the special laundry.

Becareful when you wear it. Don't let oil, coka or lipstick stainyour clothes, for it's difficult to clean such substance andeven the laundry can't clean it completely. Don't wear the samecheongsam for several days. Be careful of the sharp-pointedobjects so as not to make hole or hook silk out of thecheongsam. Don't roll the sleeves up for convenience. If yousmear your new cheongsam carelessly, you can iron the stain witha wet cloth under it. The dust will cling to the cloth and inthis way the cheongsam can not only be cleaned but also ironed.

Cheongsam should be hung up with a wide hanger if you don'twear it. Make sure that the shoulders should be proped upproperly. Before putting it into the wardrobe, remember putmoth-resistant pills. But the camphor balls, which will make thebleached light-colored silk clothes become yellow, shouldn't beapplied.
