Silk Washing
1. Warm or cold water is appropriate. Stir the detergent in the water before adding the clothes. Clothes of different colors must be soaked and washed separately to avoid staining.
2. Do not soak clothes in water for more than 5 minutes, that is, wash them gently with your hands without twisting them (satin clothes should be washed on the reverse side) ); after washing, rinse with clean water to remove the soap. Do not wring it out. Just use your hands to squeeze out the water, or directly shake it with water and let it dry.
3. When drying, it is best to turn the clothes inside out, straighten them first, and then hang them on a hanger. Arrange it flatly (if it is arranged flat at this time, you can save the ironing process after drying), put it in a cool place and let it drip to dry. Avoid exposure to the sun.
Notes
1. After washing, silk clothing should not be dried under sunlight or fluorescent lights, nor should it be dried in a dryer. It should generally be placed in a cool and ventilated place to dry. Because the ultraviolet rays in the sun can easily cause silk fabrics to yellow, fade, and age.

3. Silk clothing tends to harden over time. Soak it with silk softener or white vinegar dilution. Softness will be restored.
4. If the clothes are wet with sweat when wearing them, they should be washed in water as soon as possible to avoid sweat from causing the color of the clothes to change. harm.
Maintenance of Silk Clothing
1. The anti-wrinkle performance of silk clothing is slightly worse than that of chemical fiber clothing, so there is a saying that “no wrinkles are not real silk”. If clothes become wrinkled after being washed and dried, they need to be ironed to make them crisp, elegant and beautiful.
When ironing, the temperature should be controlled between 120 degrees and 140 degrees. The iron should not touch the silk surface directly. It must be covered with a layer of white wet cloth before ironing to prevent the high temperature from making the silk brittle or even burnt.
2. Preserve silk clothing. For thin underwear, shirts, trousers, skirts, pajamas, silk scarves, etc., they must be washed first, ironed and dried before being stored.
Autumn and winter clothing, jackets, and cheongsam that are inconvenient to remove and wash should be washed with dry cleaning and ironed to prevent the occurrence of Mildew and moth infestations. After ironing, it can also play a role in sterilization and insecticide. At the same time, the boxes and cabinets where clothes are stored should be kept clean and sealed as much as possible to prevent dust contamination.
Warm reminder from the editor: Dress well and do not sleep on mats, wicker chairs or wooden boards. Do not apply deodorant or perfume, and do not place mothballs.
