How to care for your machine washable silk wear
1. Use the Right Detergent
Washing Mulberry silk clothing is not tricky. It does not need dry cleaning or hand washing. Although, hand washing may make the garment last longer, washing in a gentle cycle will be sufficient to keep its integrity.
​
Due to the durability of the silk, it does not fray, and it is difficult to snag if worn sensibly.
​
Washing in a normal cycle and spin drying the garment will not damage its quality.
​
Please ensure you use talcum powder to remove oil stains prior to washing. Do not use a stain remover.
2. Will it fade?
Like any other clothing, silk too fades a little in every wash. Rest assured all our silk garments have steadfast colouring and can be washed in a normal wash. Drying in the sun is bound to fade the garment.
​
Silk is likely to crinkle after a wash like all garments. It’s part of its nature, but the best way to prevent this is to wear the garment. Silk is a natural fibre and the oils from your body will help soften it up after a wash.
If you are not accustomed to ironing your garments, then we suggest you purchase a size bigger. For example, if you are a small then medium might be better for you.
3. Can you use a dryer?
DO NOT TUMBLE DRY! Silk is a natural fabric tumble drying is bound to do irreparable harm to its integrity.
4. And one final suggestion…?
We hope you enjoy wearing your garment.
