Question

Silk Garment Care

Accepted Answer

Washing Instructions and tips on caring for your garment:
 • Hand wash (gently) in cold water with a mild detergent for no more than five minutes.
 • Preferable to hand wash inside out AND inside a garment bag, as this protects the fabric from any hand washing harshness.
 • The less agitation the better.
 • Rinse well.
 • Light hand wring to drain out excess water (without harshly, crushing the garment).
 • Do not machine wring/spin.
 • Do Not Tumble Dry. (Silk is NOT suitable for the clothes dryer !)
 • Do Not Use Bleaches
 • Avoid direct sunlight exposure
 • Dries well on a hanger; under cover, away from sunlight
Recommendations and Handy Hints:
 • Keep out of touch with pets/sharp objects.
 • Can remove excess water, by rolling the garment in a towel, rather than extreme hand-wringing. 
 • Caution: Heat will deteriorate your garment so dry in the shade.
 • Can hang up in your bathroom while having a hot shower; using the shower-steam to remove creases from the garment, and refreshing the fabric.
 • A machine steamer will release creases.
 • Never iron your silk garment
 • Static: To prevent static, either lightly steam or spritz your garment with water from a misting bottle.
 • When travelling, roll up your garment and pop into a lingerie bag to protect it from snagging. To keep your garment looking beautiful and in good condition, we recommend the above garment care and washing instructions.
