Brilio.net - Mukena is one of the equipment commonly used for prayer. This tool is used to cover the private parts from head to toe. Because they are worn almost every day, mukenas are susceptible to getting dirty. This dirt usually comes from the remaining powder used on the face.
Apart from that, damp mukena conditions can also make the area around the head of the mukena turn yellow. If you don't wash it immediately, over time the stain can become a stubborn stain. The stain will be difficult to remove even if you brush it with soap.
Finally, many people choose to soak their mukenas for hours to remove stubborn stains. However, instead of the stain fading, the mukena actually smells musty because it has been soaked for too long.
