Kandura & Abaya Care in Al Khawaneej & Al Mizhar
A kandura shows every shortcut. Most have been polyester since the nineties, chosen for the sheen on the cloth, so our job is to protect that sheen rather than press it flat. We press the neckband from the underside first. The tarboosha never meets the iron.
What's included
What we actually do
- The tarboosha is coiled, tied end to end and tucked into the breast pocket before anything goes near water, the way it is done at home, so it cannot tangle in the drum
- It is steamed from a distance afterwards. An iron laid on it flattens the braid
- The neckband and cuffs are pressed from the underside first, then the face, so nothing glazes
- Whites are lifted with oxygen and enzymes. Chlorine sets perspiration yellowing into the fibre instead of taking it out
- Small loads. An overloaded drum is what turns a white kandura grey, because the soil has nowhere to go but back into the cloth
- No fabric softener. It is what puts the static into a kandura, and it softens a garment meant to hold its own body
- Starch if you ask for it, though on polyester the body comes from being pressed damp rather than from the starch, and repeated starch leaves a residue that dulls the sheen
- Abayas go into solvent where the crepe or the nida asks for it, which keeps the black from washing out over a year of Fridays
- Beadwork and stonework are set aside and finished by hand. It is the edge of the drum that chips stones loose
- Abayas are pressed inside out through a cotton cloth. Ghutra and shayla are pressed separately
- Air-dried in shade where the fabric asks for it. Strong sun fades the cloth and makes it brittle
- Returned on hangers and covered, never folded
