Washing Silk Garments
Hand Washing (Recommended):
Use cool water (around 30°C/86°F) with a gentle silk-specific detergent or mild soap
Submerge the garment and gently move it for 3-5 minutes
Rinse thoroughly with cool water until all soap is removed
Avoid twisting or wringing the fabric
Machine Washing:
Use a delicate or silk cycle with cold water
Place the garment in a mesh laundry bag for protection
Use silk friendly detergent
Drying Methods
Air Drying (Best Method):
- Gently squeeze out excess water without wringing
- Lay flat to dry
- Avoid direct sunlight, which can fade colors
Important Notes:
- Never use a tumble dryer for silk garments
- Do not hang wet silk for extended periods as it may stretch
- Iron on low heat (around 150°C/300°F) if needed, using a pressing cloth
- Or hang in your bathroom whilst you shower. The steam will help with the creases
Storage Tips
Proper Storage:
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
- Use padded hangers to prevent stretching and creasing
- Alternatively, fold gently and store in a drawer
Maintenance:
- Avoid spraying perfume directly onto your silk garments to avoid stains
