Hand Wash
Hand washing is always the best and safest method for washing silk.
1．Fill a basin with cold water under 30℃/86°F.
2．Add a decent amount of detergent in cool water. Use gentle or special detergent for silk.DO NOT use alkali or soap detergent. DO NOT use bleach on silk. Wrong detergents are destructive to silk fabrics.
3．Soak your silk item within 5 minutes. Otherwise, it will damage the protein fibers of the silk. If there is a stain, deal with the stain by using a tiny amount of white vinegar.
4．Massage the silk item gently to remove odors and stains.
5．Rinse the silk item under the clean water till it runs clear, and all the detergent soap suds have been washed out.
6．Use a towel to soak up most of the water. DO NOT twist or wring the item.
7．Hang dry. DO NOT tumble dry. DO NOT dry in the direct sunlight.
Machine Wash
If hand washing is too time consuming, our products are also machine washable. But there is more risk involved, and certain precautions must be taken to minimize them.
1.Before you toss your silk item into the washing machine, check the care label to see if it can be machine washed.
2.Sort the laundry. Put similar colors together and separate the silk item from other laundry. DO NOT wash it with heavy pieces of clothing like jeans.
3.Use a protective mesh bag. Turn your silk item inside out and place it in a mesh bag to avoid the shearing and tearing of silk fibers.
4.Add a decent amount of neutral or special detergent to the machine.
5.Set the machine to gentle cycle and a minimum rotation period to prevent your silk item from being ripped apart. Always remember to use the cool water setting.
6.Hang dry. DO NOT tumble dry. DO NOT dry in the direct sunlight.
