Care of silks and fine cottons (dry clean or hand wash)
To hand wash:
- SOAP: Dissolve mild soap in lukewarm water. Soak garment briefly. Work soap through gently; do not wring.
- RINSE: Rinse until rinse water remains clear. Rinse again with ¼ cup of white vinegar added to the rinse water to neutralize any remaining soap and to restore the fabric’s natural sheen. Rinse once again in clear, cool water to remove the smell of vinegar.
- ROLL: Roll in a towel to absorb excess moisture.
- DRY: Dry flat on a towel or hang on a padded hanger. Do not dry in sun or direct heat.
- IRON: Iron while still slightly damp, at a low-medium temperature for silk, or medium-high for cotton.
If fabric is completely dry, it is important to re-dampen it before ironing.
