HOW TO HAND WASH SILK?

Handwashing is always the best and safest method for washing particularly delicate items like silk. (some may prefer DRY CLEAN).

• Dissolve silk friendly washing detergent into warm water (maximum 30C).
• Add your silk items to the water and very gently rub any stains.
• Rinse your silk items with warm water until all remaining detergent has been removed.
• Carefully squeeze out any excess water, but avoid wringing or twisting as this will damage the silk.
• To remove any remaining water, you can lay the items flat on a dry towel and roll them up together. Then gently squeeze and press the towel.
• Hang dry if possible; however, avoid direct sunlight exposure.

 

HOW TO WASH SILK IN A WASHING MACHINE?
