Washing instructions for silk

Dry-cleaning is recommended for silk scarves.

If you want to wash your silk garments by hand, make sure you follow these instructions:

• Wash your silk garments separately.
• Always use a special detergent meant for natural silk, or use Marseille soap.
• Wash quickly in a large quantity of water.
• Stretch the garment to its original shape.
• Do not use a tumble dryer.
• Allow to dry in a cool place.
• Iron on the reverse side when still damp.

Stains can be removed with trichroloethylene; ask your chemist for availability. Woollen scarves and silk ties should be dry-cleaned only.
