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…

  1. Pre-Treat Stains 

    • Pre-treat makeup or oil stains on the scarf before hand-washing. 

    • Apply a dab of mild detergent directly onto the stained spot. 

    • Work it into the fabric with your fingers. 

    • Allow the detergent to work for at least 15 minutes before you continue washing the entire scarf.

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 💋
