QUESTION 1

When caring for an African textile, what is always the very first step before choosing any care method?

Episode 1 established the foundational rule: match the textile to its type first, then choose the care method. Every episode that follows builds on this sequence. · Rewatch Ep 1

QUESTION 2

Which of the following is NOT one of the five steps for washing a wax print?

Episode 2 lists exactly five steps: cool water, pH-neutral detergent, gentle squeezing, separating darks from lights, and two clear rinses. Extended soaking is not part of the method and risks fading the pattern. · Rewatch Ep 2

QUESTION 3

Why must kente and aso-oke never be twisted during hand washing?

Episode 3 identified flat soaking, full support, and no twisting as the three habits that keep kente and aso-oke intact for decades. Twisting stresses and can break the woven structure. · Rewatch Ep 3

QUESTION 4

How should beadwork attached to a textile be cleaned?

Episode 4 is explicit: never submerge beadwork. The correct method is spot-cleaning with a barely damp cloth to avoid water damage to threads, adhesives, or the beads themselves. · Rewatch Ep 4

QUESTION 5

Episode 5 reinforces a rule that runs through the entire series. What does it say you must do every single time before applying a washing method?

Episode 5's review summary states: match the textile first, then apply its specific washing method every time. This reinforces the core rule introduced in Episode 1 and applied throughout the washing episodes. · Rewatch Ep 5

QUESTION 6

What is described as your 'first line of protection' when pressing any African textile?

Episode 6 states clearly: always use a pressing cloth as your first line of protection. It prevents direct heat contact that can scorch, flatten, or distort delicate fibres and surface decoration. · Rewatch Ep 6

QUESTION 7

Which storage rule applies specifically to kente when preparing it for short-term storage?

Episode 7 specifies rolling kente as part of its correct short-term storage method. Rolling prevents sharp crease lines that can weaken or permanently mark the woven strips over time. · Rewatch Ep 7

QUESTION 8

When setting up long-term storage for African textiles, how often should you check the storage conditions?

Episode 8 specifies checking temperature, humidity, and light conditions every six months. Regular scheduled checks allow you to catch harmful changes before they cause deterioration. · Rewatch Ep 8

QUESTION 9

Episode 9 describes six signs of deterioration. Which of the following best reflects the episode's core guidance on responding to those signs?

Episode 9's summary is 'six signs, six responses — act early and the textile survives.' The episode pairs each warning sign with a specific response and emphasises that early action is what prevents irreversible damage. · Rewatch Ep 9

QUESTION 10

According to the complete care routine summarised in Episode 10, which four principles cover the full process from handling to long-term preservation?

Episode 10 states the complete routine as exactly these four principles: match method to textile, control your environment, fold correctly, and act at the first sign of trouble — drawing together every skill covered across the series. · Rewatch Ep 10
