    mego clothes

    So I been reading some threads on how to wash mego clothes and u see dishwashing soap works pretty well but the question is do I do it in cold or warm water? And does it matter if the outfit has multiple colors like the aquaman suit? Thanks

    I'd use tepid to lukewarm water. Hot water would make the colors bleed too much.

    Be careful not to work the material too much, after forty years, it's going to be fragile to work with.

    Rinse thoroughly in cold water and blot dry with a clean white towel.

    Do NOT dry in direct sunlight, otherwise it will fade even more.

    Knits can be pretty forgiving, but nylon is really tricky as are wovens.

      So first start off in warm water massaging the material with the dish washing soap then rinse it out it cold? Then after dry with white towel then let it hang to air dry?

        I think you got it. just use only a tiny bit of Dawn.

        I let them dry flat on a towel.

        good luck
