Silk is one of the most exclusive materials you can possibly wear. It has an amazing finish and falls beautifully on the body, at the same time; it is both timeless and luxurious. One of its many other strengths is also the fact that silk is a breathable material, which means that you don’t have to wash it every time it has been worn. Silk is although a fragile material that needs to be handled with care. To keep it in a great condition and make it last as long as possible we recommend following: 1. Steam it – If the blouse isn’t dirty, steam it! A steamer kills 99% of all bacteria. Meaning, if you don’t have a spot on your silk garment, don’t wash it, just steam it and it will feel like new again. 2. Wash it – If you need to wash it, you can either choose dry-clean or use the hand wash program on your washing machine. Use a detergent that is free from enzymes, preferably a silk detergent or a special detergent for fine and fragile items (ordinary detergent damages the fat that gives silk its soft feeling) 3. Iron / Steam – If you have to iron, make sure it doesn’t get warmer than one dot because it’s super easy to burn the silk fabric. You can use full steam on your iron to get the fabric completely smooth.
