Silk care instructions

Silk is a naturally delicate fabric and needs to be treated with care. Since it naturally breaks away mites, dust, and other particles, this natural material doesn’t need to be washed as often as other materials.

Always wash it by hand in cold water with a detergent for delicates and avoid stretching the garment while wet. Avoid tumble-drying silk – it risks damaging the fabric. Avoid exposing silk to alcohol-based products like perfume and hairspray. Roll your silk garments carefully while traveling instead of folding them.

Follow these simple steps to protect your silk garments:

1. Take a basin or use the sink and fill it with cold water under 30 degrees and submerge the garment.
2. Add a few drops of detergent for delicates (try to use an all-natural or extra gentle brand to protect the gentle fibers of the silk) and use your hand to stir it into the solution.
3. Soak the silk product and leave it to soak for 3 minutes.
4. Use your hands and plunge the garment up and down in the water gently to remove any dirt.
5. Rinse in cold water and after taking the garment out and get rid of the dirty water.
6. Rinse the item under cold water until it runs clear, and all the soap has been washed out.
7. Absorb excess moisture with a towel – lay a clean towel out flat on a table or counter and place the garment on top of the towel, then begin rolling the towel from one end to the other with the silk item inside, when you have rolled the towel all the way up, unroll it and take out the silk garment – do not wring or squeeze the rolled towel, as this can damage the silk fabric.
8. Place an item on a hanger or a drying rack and leave it to dry out away from direct sunlight.

To avoid ironing you can remove minor wrinkles with two methods:

1. Hang the garment overnight on a clothes hanger and make sure that the garment is hanging completely straight and isn’t folded over on itself or
2. Hang the garment on the towel rack in the bathroom during taking a shower – the indirect heat from the shower is a gentle way of straightening out wrinkles.

1. Turn garment inside out and turn the iron to low heat or the silk setting.
2. Only iron silk when dry.
3. Put a cloth between the silk and the iron.
4. Do not spray or wet silk when ironing.

1. Hang silk garments in a cool, dry place.
2. Keep silk out of the sunlight.
3. Use moth repellant when storing silk.
