Care for Traditional Silk

HOW TO CLEAN

  • Dry clean only as needed.
  • We recommend using a green dry cleaner, if available.
  • To freshen between wears, spritz a delicate fabric spray with antibacterial properties to remove odor.
  • Steam to remove wrinkles and rejuvenate your garment. Use distilled water and cover steamer with a clean towel to avoid getting hard water spots on silk. If you don’t have a steamer handy, use an iron set to the “steam” setting, and hover over the item—avoid making direct contact.

HOW TO STORE

  • Hang on a non-slip hanger.
  • For long-term storage, be mindful that moths are attracted to natural fibers like silk and wool. Remember to always clean your silks before putting them away for the season.

Care for Washable Charmeuse

HOW TO CLEAN

  • Machine washing cold, using the gentle cycle, is appropriate for these garments. For best results, place the garments inside a mesh bag when using a washer.
  • Hang to dry. Machine drying should be avoided.
  • Steam to remove wrinkles and rejuvenate your garment. If you don’t have a steamer handy, use an iron set to the “steam” setting, and hover over the item, avoiding direct contact.
  • If you must touch up the garment with an iron, use it at low temperature. Too much direct heat may scorch the fabric.
