Silk Needs Special Care
-
Stains: Never rub a stain, especially on silk since the fabric
is so fragile. Always blot the stain to remove as much of the substance
as possible without spreading it—this will also avoid damaging the
fabric.
-
Perfume & Cologne: Contact with alcohol can dissolve certain
dyes and result in permanent color loss. This is especially true of
delicate fabrics such as silk. The alcohol content of most perfumes and
colognes is capable of causing such damage.
-
Hand Washing: Only pre-washed silk is washable, though dry
cleaning is generally preferred. For washable silk, follow the care
instructions precisely. For items without linings or embellishments,
careful handwashing with mild soap and lukewarm water is usually
acceptable. Be sure not to wring the garment as silk becomes weaker when
wet. Instead, fold the item in a towel and roll it up to remove the
excess water.
-
Trust the Experts: If you are unsure about how to handle your
silk garments, bring them to an expert. Professionals will clean
or launder them with the most appropriate method and help keep them
looking beautiful.
