Handcrafted macrame pieces bring warmth, artistry, and texture to your home. Whether you’ve chosen a bold wall hanging, a hat hanger, or a delicate accessory from ComfyOliva, a little care goes a long way in preserving the beauty and integrity of your unique piece. Here’s your essential guide to keeping your macrame looking its best—so it remains a cherished part of your space for years to come.
Macrame is more than just décor—it’s a celebration of craftsmanship, patience, and creativity. Each knot and fringe is carefully arranged by hand, using natural cotton fibers that are both beautiful and delicate. Proper care helps prevent damage, fading, and wear, ensuring your macrame retains its original charm and structure.
Keep your macrame fresh by gently dusting it every week or two. Use a soft brush, feather duster, or simply shake it out to remove dust and keep the fibers looking lively. This simple habit prevents buildup and keeps your piece vibrant.
If you notice a stain or mark, don’t panic. Use a damp cloth and mild soap to gently blot the area. Avoid soaking the cotton or scrubbing hard, as this can distort the knots and damage the fibers. Never use bleach or harsh chemicals—gentle care is key.
Macrame loves dry spaces. Hang your piece in areas away from bathrooms or kitchens, where humidity is high. Excess moisture can stretch the cotton, cause mildew, or weaken the structure. If your macrame does get damp, let it air dry completely before rehanging.
Natural light is beautiful, but direct sunlight can fade the colors of your macrame over time. To help extend the life and vibrancy of our products, ComfyOliva applies a UV protection treatment to each piece. This extra care helps your macrame resist fading, even in brighter spaces. For best results, we still recommend displaying your macrame in areas with indirect light whenever possible.
Fringe adds movement and texture to your macrame. To keep it looking smooth, gently separate tangled strands with your fingers or use a wide-tooth comb. Always handle the fringe softly to avoid pulling or fraying.
When moving or rehanging your macrame, support it evenly to avoid stretching or distorting the cords and knots. Avoid tugging on delicate areas, and always transport your piece flat or rolled (never folded) to prevent creasing.
If you need to store your macrame, lay it flat in a clean, dry area. Avoid folding or crushing the fringe and knots. Use acid-free tissue paper if you want extra protection for longer-term storage.
Handcrafted macrame is not suited for machine washing or tumble drying. The agitation and heat can ruin the structure and finish. Stick to gentle spot cleaning and air drying only.
Each ComfyOliva piece is made with love in Edmonton, using premium regenerated cotton for a soft, sustainable finish. With the added benefit of UV protection, your macrame is designed to last longer and resist fading, even in sunny rooms. By following these care tips, you’ll help your unique wall hanging, hat hanger, or accessory stay beautiful and functional for years. Plus, you’re supporting local artisans and eco-conscious craftsmanship with every purchase.
Caring for your macrame is simple, but it makes all the difference. With regular dusting, gentle cleaning, mindful placement, and the added assurance of UV protection, your ComfyOliva original will continue to bring artistry, warmth, and Alberta-inspired charm into your home. Thank you for supporting handmade—your space and the planet will thank you too!
