How to wash silk clothes, the correct way to wash silk clothes

Silk is a clothing material that is more popular among people, but it is also relatively expensive. It would be a pity if the clothes were damaged due to improper washing, or if the clothes were washed hard and yellow. However, many people do not have a correct concept of how to wash silk clothes, and they have not mastered the correct washing method.

1. When washing silk clothes, you must use neutral or high-grade laundry detergent or detergent specially used for washing silk fabrics . Ordinary laundry detergent contains acid and soap contains alkali, both of which will destroy protein and the silk fabric will become hard and yellow.

2. The surface of pure silk is not easily contaminated by dirt , so when washing, use cold water or warm water below 30°C, add cold detergent or neutral detergent, and rub it gently with your hands. After washing, you can use softener to soften it.

3. If you use a washing machine , please put it in the laundry net and select gentle mode.

4. If it has turned slightly yellow, add 3 to 4 cc of vinegar when cleaning , soak for 5 minutes and then rinse with clean water.

5. If there are wrinkles after washing, just hang it on a hanger and let it air dry naturally in a cool place. If you need to iron it, use low temperature and use a pressing cloth.

6. Dark-colored clothes and light-colored clothes must be washed separately to avoid staining each other.

7. Dry the fabric until it is 80% dry and iron it at medium temperature to remove wrinkles. Iron it with the reverse side facing up to maintain the gloss. Avoid spraying water to avoid water stains.
