Like all natural fibers, silk can last for many years if it’s cared for properly. The best cleaning solution would be dry-cleaning. But if you can’t afford that, the alternate solution will be laundered by hand in cold water.
1. A few drops of gentle liquid detergent can be added and worked into a sudsy mix.
2. Place your silk pieces inside, rub and squeeze gently for three to five minutes, and then rinse completely.
3. Do not soak your silk garment too long in water.
4. Do not use bleach. 5. In the first few cleanings you will see some dye in the water but it is normal with hand-dyed silk. That is why do not mix pieces with different colors in a single batch.
NOTE: Strictly dry-cleaning only with all the products with decorated details like : embroidery, hand-drawing, pieces with multiple fabrics,… Once clean, rinse detergent and gently squeeze out some of the remaining water.
1. Avoid twisting or wringing silk, as this can cause substantial damage.
2. Avoid using the dryer!
3. Lay pieces on a clean, absorbent towel and roll up to remove moisture.
4. Unroll, place in a fresh, dry towel, and repeat.
5.Once the water has been removed, you can place your silk pieces flat on a drying rack or over a towel to air-dry.
6. Avoid direct sunlight.
