How To Clean And Store Silk Scarves

Thursday, November 12th, 2009 by ellen

Happy to share those tips on how to clean, wash and store your beautiful silk scarves.

Silk Scarf Storage

  • Unfold it first if there is a knot on the scarf;
  • Flatten and fold neatly in the wardrobe;
  • Don’t put heavy clothes on the scarf to avoid the hard wrinkle.

Silk Scarf Clean and Wash

  • Clean the silk scarf after using it several times;
  • Hand wash is highly recommended for its delicacy except your washing machine has a silk setting. Don’t wash with excessive clothes together, or silk scarves could be deformed from the intertwining with other clothing.
  • If dirty from tea or juice, soak the scarf with neutral detergent solution or 10% acetic acid diluted solution; if from the lipsticks, the warm soap solution or a little gasoline could work; If blood, the warm soap water or ammonia liquid can do the job; If ink, put a little cooked rice on the stain, wipe the rice with a cloth repeatedly, and then rinse with clean water.
  • Air dry silk scarf in the shade. Do not expose the silk scarf in the sunlight, or it will turn yellow or fade.
  • Press the silk scarf only when it is really necessary. Set the Iron to the silk setting or the low temperature and cover the silk scarf with a piece of cloth during pressing. A fast and gentle movement is suggested for pressing.
