Care of silk products
Silk is a natural protein fiber. In order to preserve the positive properties of silk products and its luster for as long as possible, it is necessary to follow the basic rules of silk care products.
How to wash silk?
- Silk should be washed by hand or by machine at a temperature no higher than 30 ºC, with the "Silk" or "Delicates" mode set and using only special detergents for silk.
- Under no circumstances should you bleach silk, use fabric softener, tumble dry or dry in the open sun due to the risk of fading.
- Silk should be dried on a towel.
- Iron from the wrong side on the "silk" setting, not too hot. Imagine that silk tissue is a protein structure and very similar to the structure of human hair. High heat will damage the fabric.
- Do not spray deodorants and perfumes on silk, as cosmetics containing alcohol are especially harmful to the fabric.
Remember that silk fibers are weakened by sweat, deodorants and direct sunlight.
