Care instructions for your natural silk scarf
Step 1: Preparing the Wash
To ensure optimal curing of the piece, start by filling a container with cold water. Make sure you select a quality neutral soap that is gentle on your silk.
Step 2: Manual Washing
Immerse the part in the soap solution, making sure to cover it completely. Wash with gentle movements without rubbing vigorously to prevent possible damage to the fibres.
Step 3: Rinse
When the piece is clean, rinse it thoroughly with cold water to remove any soap residue. Repeat this rinsing process until the water runs completely clear, indicating that all the soap has been removed.
Step 4: Draining
Carefully squeeze the excess water out of the piece without twisting it excessively. Press gently to remove as much water as possible and facilitate the drying process.
Step 5: Drying
Place the piece on a clean, flat towel, spreading it out carefully to maintain its original shape. Avoid hanging it up.
Step 6: Ironing
When the piece is still slightly damp, iron it inside out to avoid damaging the delicate details and edges. Set the griddle to medium heat and avoid flattening the edges.
Step 7: Storage
When the piece is completely dry and ironed, store it in a cool, dry place, preferably hanging on a hanger or folded neatly in a drawer. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight or humid environments to prolong its shelf life and maintain its quality.
