To Maintain Chinese Dress: Cheongsam:QipaoChinese Dress:

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

Be careful when you wear it. Don't let oil, coca or lipstick stain on your clothing, for it's difficult to clean such substance and even the laundry can't clean it completely. Don't wear the same cheongsam for several days. Be careful of the sharp-pointed objects so as not to make hole or hook silk out of the cheongsam. Don't roll the sleeves up for convenience. If you smear your new cheongsam carelessly, you can iron the stain with a wet cloth under it. The dust will cling to the cloth and in this way the cheongsam can not only be cleaned but also ironed.

Cheongsam should be hung up with a wide hanger if you don't wear it. Make sure that the shoulders should be propped properly. Before putting it into the wardrobe, remember put moth-resistant pills. But the camphor balls, which will make the bleached light-colored silk clothes become yellow, shouldn't be applied.
