If you’re looking to freshen garments between cleanings, Kimono Kitsune offers Refresh Mist—a gentle spray made with natural ingredients and essential oils, designed to help remove odors from kimono and other delicate garments without harsh chemicals.

While we’re not professional kimono cleaners, we’re happy to share helpful resources from knowledgeable people:

Silk & Bones – Becky shares a series of tutorials on her blog about kimono cleaning and restoration. A quick warning—the content is informative and entertaining, but includes adult language.

Billy Matsunaga – A certified kimono instructor and stylist based in Japan, Billy offers a helpful “How to Clean Kimono” (The Kimono Cleaning Guide) video on her YouTube channel.

Mitasky – Though we haven’t used their services ourselves, this cleaning service came recommended by a US-based kimono enthusiast.
