It is best to dry clean your silk garment either by individual or bulk method, in order to maintain the characteristic of the silk.
Dry clean: Sending it to the dry cleaners may be done but make sure that you inform the dry cleaner that your garment is made of silk.
Hand wash: 1) Make sure you wash in cool water. 2) Use a small amount of soap or mild detergent to wash the silk. 3) After washing it, rinse in cold water. 4) Hang it or lay it flat in a shaded area to dry. 5) If pressing is needed, use an all cotton iron board cover, a low or moderate steam setting, and press on the wrong side of the fabric while ironing.
Other Tips: To keep white silk white, add peroxide and ammonia to the wash. Do not use bleach or any washing detergent with bleach To remove yellow from white silk, add a few teaspoons of white vinegar to the wash.
