Care recommendations

How to wash silk in a washing machine:
Turn the items inside out and put them in a mesh bag to protect them in the machine. When the cycle is done, quickly take all items out and hang to dry to reduce wrinkles.

Use the most delicate cold washing cycle, preferably 30°C – silk fibres are no fans of heat – with a mild detergent, and remember to put the spin on low. If your washing machine has a ‘hand wash cycle’, this should do the job.
How to hand wash silk:

Before starting this process, you should do a colour run test. Tap a damp, white cloth on the silk to measure the colour fastness. Note that the water might have changed colour slightly once you’re done: if that’s the case, don’t worry, that is not unusual when hand washing silk. You won’t notice any fade or change in colour as it’s just the yarn releasing colour from the silk.
Hand wash in lukewarm water with a mild detergent. Delicate Detergent with orange oil treats the cell structure of natural fabrics gently. It’s specially adapted to be used on such materials as silk, wool, mohair, down and cashmere. It does not irritate and is ideal for hand-washing. Soak for approximately five minutes and then switch to rinse the silk garment in a separate bowl of cool water.
Do not wring the silk after hand washing, instead, lay the item flat and press the water out with a clean, soft towel.

How to dry silk:
Silk dries very quickly, so the tumble dryer is not needed nor recommended as this could damage the fibres of the fabric.

When hanging it out to dry, avoid keeping your silk in direct sunlight as it can fade the fibres. Note that this rule also applies when storing silk items, preferably store your silk items in a dark, dry wardrobe.
Dry silk garments on a clothes hanger, as clothes pegs can mark the silk. Make sure to position the item properly on the hanger to prevent stretching.
If the care label suggests the garment can be ironed, use a low temperature setting and iron the silk from damp. However, should the care label not contain the ironing symbol, do not iron it.

Common mistakes when washing silk:
If you get a stain, never spot treat it on silk fabric as the colour can easily fade and become lighter on that area. Dark or unsightly stains should preferably be taken to professional cleaners.

Any products that consist of chlorine bleach should never be used on silk as this can lead to permanent discolouration.
