Taking Care of and Maintaining Your Waxed Canvas Apron Regular cleaning will make your apron look top notch and will also remove any materials that can cause premature wear. Keep stains away by properly caring for your garment. Here is what you SHOULDN'T do: DO NOT machine wash. DO NOT machine dry or tumble dry. DO NOT clean with warm or hot water/detergents/solvents or bleach. DO NOT dry clean. DO NOT scrub aggressively. Here is what you SHOULD do: First, remove any dirt, saw dust, grit or any other material by brushing or shaking it away. Apply COLDwater ONLY using a hose or a sponge. Soak the apron using cold water and castile soap and gently rub any tough spots. Make sure to rinse out any remaining soap. HAND DRY in a warm room for 24 hours. Best to avoid direct sunlight. Rewaxing: It is not necessary to rewax but it is highly recommended when you see that the wax finish coating has been damaged. The areas where the wax has been worn out will appear lighter than the rest of the apron. Rewaxing can also be called refinishing: Apron should be clean and dry. Lay apron on a table or any other smooth straight surface. Use fabric wax. Use a brush to apply the wax. Apply it sparingly and evenly for a uniform appearance. Use circular motions. Heat the applied wax with a hair dryer. Apply more wax on tough areas (like seams and pockets). Dry in a well ventilated area and wipe off any excess wax.
