Silk is a fine product in silk, which has the characteristics of softness and smoothness, light texture, and strong breathability, and is also used as the preferred fabric for summer clothing. Good washing and maintenance methods are of great benefit to the life of silk clothing. The following are some washing and maintenance methods we have summarized, I hope they can be helpful to everyone.
Proper washing methods for silk garments:
1. Washing should not be rubbed on rough items and washed in a washing machine, and hand washing is the best.
2. Please use special washing supplies for washing, avoid using alkaline detergents, soaps, laundry detergents or other stain removers, and never use disinfectants.
3. Do not wash directly with soap, because the fatty acid anions produced by soap in water will combine with calcium and magnesium ions in water to form insoluble fatty acid calcium and fatty acid magnesium precipitate. This sediment is very sticky, and the silk has a positive charge, so it is difficult to rinse off once it settles on silk clothes.
4. The water temperature should be room temperature, about 30 degrees.
5. Silk clothing should not be dried under sunlight or fluorescent lamps after washing, let alone heated in a dryer, and should generally be placed in a cool and ventilated place to dry. Because the ultraviolet rays in the sun are easy to make silk fabrics yellow, fade and age.
6. Silk crepe, do not twist it when washing, it should be gently shaken off, spread out to dry, and do not overlap or fold to dry, so as not to stain the color.
7. Silk clothes are easy to harden after a long time, and can be restored to softness by soaking them in silk softener or white vinegar dilution.
8. If the clothes are not very dirty, do not wash them, hang the worn clothes in a ventilated place and wait for the sweat to evaporate before wearing them. If the clothes are not very dirty, they can be rinsed directly with clean water without adding any detergent, and it is recommended that customers do not wear a piece of clothing for a long time, and changing it can reduce the number of times silk clothing is put into the water.
Proper silk garment maintenance:
1. It is not advisable to use iron hangers when storing to prevent rust pollution, and avoid storing them with items that are easy to fade or dye.
2. Silk clothing is highly hygroscopic, it is best to hang the clothes with hangers and keep them ventilated when not wearing, and do not store silk clothing in damp or direct light to avoid mildew and fading.

4. Pay attention to damage clothes caused by hanger hooks when storing.
5. It needs to be ventilated frequently and should not be placed in a plastic bag for a long time.
6. Hang the clothes in a dark place to prevent the fabric from yellowing due to direct light exposure.
7. Clothing made of combined georgette and double-wrinkled fabrics should not be hung for a long time, because the weight of the garment is stretched and stretched, so that the clothing is deformed.
8. When white and light real silk are placed at the same time, it is best to separate them with “safe” items.
9. Avoid directly staining desiccant, cosmetics, perfumes, etc. on silk clothing when collecting. If it is accidentally contaminated, it should be cleaned in time, otherwise it is easy to turn yellow or black.
10. Silk clothes should not be placed with oak silk clothes, because most of the raw materials of oak silk clothes are fumigated by sulfur, which will change the color of silk clothes.
