Use a low heat setting: Using high heat can scorch the fabric and damage the embroidery or embellishments

on the thobe. Start with a low heat setting and gradually increase the heat if necessary.

Iron inside out: Turning the thobe inside out before ironing helps to protect the embroidery and embellishments from damage. This way, the iron’s heat and steam are applied to the inside of the thobe, and any potential damage is minimized.

Use a pressing cloth: If you’re ironing a particularly delicate or intricate part of the thobe, consider using a pressing cloth. A pressing cloth is a thin piece of fabric (i.e. a towel or bed sheet works fine too) that is placed between the iron and the thobe. It helps to protect the embroidery and embellishments from direct heat and steam, preventing any potential damage.

Iron in sections: Ironing in sections helps to ensure that the thobe is properly pressed and that all the wrinkles are removed. Start with the collar and work your way down the front and back of the thobe, one section at a time.

Iron while slightly damp: Ironing your thobe while it’s slightly damp helps to ensure that it’s properly pressed and that all the wrinkles are removed. If your thobe has dried completely, you can mist it with water before ironing to achieve the same effect.

Storing after Ironing: Keep your thobe wrinkle-free by storing it on a hanger. Avoid folding it to preserve its smooth appearance.
