Care and washing of silk scarves

Care and washing of silk scarves: Silk is a natural and living material that, with proper care, will retain its luster and softness for many years. We recommend the following:

• Hand wash in cold water (preferably under 30 °C) with a mild silk detergent or a small amount of neutral, fragrance-free soap. Avoid regular laundry detergent, as it can be too harsh for the fibers.
• Rinse gently in cold water until all soap is removed. Avoid wringing or rubbing the scarf – instead, gently press the water out.
• Lay the scarf flat on a clean, light-colored towel and roll it up to absorb most of the water. Then, let it air dry flat or on a hanger, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
• Iron on a low heat setting (silk setting) on the reverse side while the scarf is still slightly damp. If necessary, use a thin pressing cloth in between.
• Avoid perfume, hairspray, and lotion directly on the silk, as alcohol and oils can leave stains or discolorations. Therefore, put the scarf on last when getting ready.
• Store the scarf flat in our box so it is protected from dust and light.

In case of doubt or stains that are difficult to remove, we always recommend professional dry cleaning so that the silk is treated as gently as possible.
