The Philosophy of Celestial Care
Caring for your LYRĪON pieces is more than maintenance—it's a ritual of reverence. Each garment is infused with intention during creation, and your care practices help maintain that energetic signature. Think of care as continuing the cosmic conversation between you and your pieces.
"What we care for, cares for us. Your clothing holds energy, memory, and intention. Treat it as the sacred companion it is."
Energetic Care: Beyond Physical Maintenance
Moon Charging
Place pieces under moonlight (especially full moon) to cleanse and recharge their energy. Ideal for special occasion pieces or items needing energetic refreshment.
Intention Setting
When caring for items, hold clear intentions. For example: "May this cleaning refresh your purpose" or "May this storage preserve your magic."
Herbal Infusions
Add lavender, rosemary, or cedar to storage areas. These herbs naturally protect fibers while imbuing positive energy.
Sound Cleansing
Use singing bowls, bells, or chanting near your wardrobe space to clear stagnant energy and maintain vibrational harmony.
Fabric-Specific Care Guide
LYRĪON uses only premium, sustainable fabrics. Here's how to care for each type:
Organic Cotton & Linen
Washing: Cold water, gentle cycle
Drying: Air dry or low heat
Ironing: Medium heat while slightly damp
Special: These natural fibers soften with age—embrace their character
Silk & Satin
Washing: Hand wash in cool water with mild detergent
Drying: Lay flat on towel, reshape while damp
Ironing: Low heat, use pressing cloth
Special: Store away from direct sunlight to prevent fading
Wool & Cashmere
Washing: Dry clean or hand wash with wool-specific detergent
Drying: Lay flat, reshape to original dimensions
Storage: Fold, don't hang; use cedar blocks for moth protection
Special: Give 24 hours rest between wears
Embellished Pieces
Washing: Spot clean only
Storage: Store flat or padded hanger
Special: Check embellishments before each wear
Travel: Use garment bag to prevent snagging
💡 Pro Tip
Always test cleaning methods on an inconspicuous area first. Your garment's care label is your primary guide—these are general recommendations.
Cleaning Schedule & Rituals
Air & Refresh
Hang item outside wardrobe for 1-2 hours to air out. Use fabric refresh spray if needed. This extends time between washes and maintains fabric integrity.
Spot Cleaning
Address small stains immediately with appropriate stain remover. For natural fabrics, try diluted white vinegar or baking soda paste first.
Deep Refresh
Air pieces in sunlight (briefly for colored items), steam to remove odors, check for needed repairs. Align with solstices and equinoxes for energetic reset.
Professional Care
Take special pieces (silks, heavy wools, embellished items) for professional cleaning. Schedule around your birthday for personal alignment.
"Your care routine should honor both the material and the magical. Clean with consciousness, store with intention, wear with reverence."
