Here’s some tips for how to care for your Silk Scarf to maintain its shine and excellence.
**Dry clean is always best with Silk, it’s safe and easy for you.
But if you’d like to stay close to home and save some money on dry-cleaning, here are some tips…
Pre-Treat Stains
2. Fill a Sink With Cool Water and Detergent
Swish the detergent through the water to evenly distribute it.
3. Submerge the Scarf
Add the scarf and gently squeeze the cleaning solution into the fabric. Avoid excessive rubbing, even during hand-washing, because it can break the silk fibers and dull the finish.
Rinse the scarf carefully in cool water.
4. Remove Excess Moisture
To remove excess moisture, place the scarf between two absorbent white towels.
Pat or gently roll the towels to remove as much moisture as possible. Do not wring or wrinkle the silk any more than necessary.
5. Allow the Scarf to
Air-Dry
Dry scarves as quickly as possible. Rapid drying in front of an electric fan prevents the formation of watermarks and helps retain the glossy finish.
Remove as much moisture as possible with the towels.
Air-dry the scarf by hanging it on a plastic hanger. Never use a wooden or metal hanger, which can stain or leave rust on the fabric.
……………………………………………………………………………………………
Ironing
Silk should be slightly damp when pressed. Use a warm—never hot—iron setting. Press the scarf on the wrong (opposite) side of the fabric using a clean white cloth between the silk and the iron
Storing Silk Scarves
Always store a silk scarf in a dry place. Be sure the scarf is completely clean before storing it. Use lavender-filled sachets to repel insects that can attack the natural silk fiber. Use non-acid tissue paper to soften the folds of a scarf and prevent severe creases, which can break fibers.
Take Care xoxo 💋
