How to take care of your rebozo:
When working with a rebozo it's important to always provide clean service.
This means that your rebozo should also be clean before giving a treatment with it to a woman. A rebozo is made with hundreds of threads woven together. Each artisan put their heart in the process. We put our heart in the process of giving a treatment. Therefore as we clean our own space before touching a woman, also the rebozo should be clean, it's an extension of our heart. Midwives recommend active birth workers to get at least 2 rebozos which they can use in their work to have always a clean one on hand.
