A Simple and Gentle Solution:
Mulberry silk is the epitome of luxury, but caring for it doesn’t need to be complicated. With a few simple steps, you can keep your silk garments looking flawless and elegant, no matter the stain.
Your Go-To Method for Stain Removal
- Act Quickly: The faster you treat a stain, the easier it is to remove.
- Rinse Gently: Use cool water and a soft cloth to dab the stain carefully. Never scrub silk, as it can damage the delicate fibres.
- Use Silk-Friendly Cleaners: A drop of mild shampoo or diluted white vinegar works wonders. Avoid harsh detergents, as silk is sensitive to alkaline products.
- Pat Dry: Press the fabric between clean towels to remove moisture—never twist or wring.
- Air Dry Naturally: Hang your garment in a dark, well-ventilated place to preserve its smooth texture and prevent fading.
For Water Stains
Water marks can occur when silk dries unevenly. To fix this, simply re-dampen the fabric evenly with clean water, pat it dry, and let it air dry naturally
Quick Tips for Longevity
- Avoid using harsh detergents—they’re often alkaline, which silk doesn’t tolerate. Use silk specific detergent is essential.
- Machine washing is possible, but only on the delicate setting with a laundry bag to protect the fine fabric.
- When storing silk, roll garments to avoid wrinkles, and never use mothballs — silk is naturally antibacterial and insect-resistant.
