Silk is a luxurious fabric that deserves a little extra TLC. Follow these simple steps to keep your silk garments looking their best:

1. Check the Label: Always start by checking the care label. Some silks are dry-clean only!
2. Gentle Hand Wash: If hand washing is okay, use cool water and a mild detergent like Silk Wash. Swirl the garment gently – no harsh scrubbing!
3. Rinse Well: Rinse with cool water until all the soap is gone.
4. Don't Wring! Gently press the water out with a towel. No twisting or wringing!
5. Low Heat Iron: Iron on a low setting while still slightly damp. Skip the steam!
6. Lay Flat to Dry: Air dry flat on a towel or drying rack. Don't hang it up!
7. Store with Care: Fold your silk garment and store it flat in a drawer. Avoid hanging it for long periods.

Important Notes:

• It's normal for dark silks to lose a bit of color during washing. Don't worry!
  Wash silks separately to prevent color transfer.
• With a little love, your silk garments will stay beautiful and luxurious for years to come!

1. Check the Label: First things first, check that care label! If it says "dry clean only," don't risk it.
2. Stain Treatment: Got a stain? Gently dab it with a mild detergent like Silk Wash before washing.
3. Gentle Cycle, Gentle Soap: Use a delicate cycle and a mild detergent made for silk or delicates. No bleach!
4. Mesh Bag Protection: Place your silk item in a mesh laundry bag to protect it from the machine's roughhousing.
5. Short and Sweet: Choose the shortest wash cycle possible.
6. Rinse It Good: Make sure all the detergent is gone. Leftover soap can dull your silk.
7. Air Dry Only: Skip the dryer! Heat is silk's enemy. Gently squeeze out excess water and lay it flat to dry.

Important Note: Machine washing silk is always risky. If you're unsure or the item is valuable, professional dry cleaning is the safest bet.

Uh oh, a stain on your silk! Don't panic. Here's how to save your garment:

1. Act Fast: The quicker you treat the stain, the better your chances of success.
2. Blot, Don't Rub: Gently blot the stain with a clean white cloth. No rubbing! Work from the outside in to keep it from spreading.
3. Test First: Before you try anything, test it on a hidden spot to make sure it won't damage the fabric.
4. Mild Detergent for Most Stains: For food or drink spills, dab with a bit of mild detergent Wash mixed with cool water.
5. Rinse Well: Rinse the area with cool water to remove any soap.
6. Tough Stains? Try Vinegar: For stubborn stains like ink or grease, try a mix of equal parts white vinegar (or lemon juice) and water. Dab and rinse.
7. Call in the Pros: If the stain won't budge or you're worried about damaging your silk, take it to a professional cleaner.
8. Air Dry Always: Let your silk air dry naturally. No dryers or direct heat!

Prevention is key: To avoid stains in the first place, be careful around anything that could stain your silk, and always follow the care instructions.
