SILK CARE GUIDE

Avoid washing silk and instead ventilate between wears. Hand washing with a special detergent in lukewarm water is recommended. Rinse without wringing.  

 

Check the care instructions to machine wash. Use a low spin and mild detergent. A mesh bag can help protect silk garments from snagging or twisting in the machine. 

 

Lay silk garments within a rolled-up towel to absorb excess moisture. Lay flat or hang to air dry. Steam silk as a gentler alternative to ironing. 

 

Restore shine and softness to older silk garments in a mild white vinegar bath, which helps remove residual soap in the fibres.
