The washing water temperature should be controlled below 30℃, and avoid using hot water or bleach.
Second, try to reduce friction when washing to avoid abrasion of clothes.
Finally, rinse thoroughly after washing to remove detergent residue.

II. 7 points to make silk clothes look like new
1. Correct storage method
The preservation of silk clothes is very important. Improper storage methods will cause clothes to deform and fade.
Therefore, when storing, silk clothing needs to be placed in a dry and ventilated place, avoiding direct sunlight and humid environment.
In addition, it is recommended to hang silk clothing on hangers to avoid folding and pressing together for a long time.
2. Choose the right detergent
Choosing the right detergent is also the key to protecting silk clothing.
It is recommended to choose detergents specifically for silk clothing, or choose mild natural detergents.
Avoid using detergents containing bleach or strong acidity and alkalinity,
These detergents will destroy the fiber structure of silk clothing, causing deformation and damage to clothing.
3. Avoid soaking in water for a long time
When washing silk clothing, avoid soaking in water for a long time, because long-term soaking will damage the fibers of the clothing,
causing deformation and damage to the clothing. Therefore, when washing, you should wash quickly and minimize the soaking time.
4. Correct dry cleaning method
If you don't have the confidence to wash silk clothing yourself, you can choose a professional dry cleaner to wash it.
However, it should be noted that dry cleaners should have experience and credibility to avoid using too many chemicals that may cause deformation and damage to clothing.
In addition, follow the washing instructions provided by the dry cleaner and choose the correct washing method.
5. Use soft water for washing
Hard water contains a large amount of calcium and magnesium ions, which are easy to form precipitation with phosphates and carbonates in detergents,
causing white stains and yellowing on silk clothing. Therefore, when washing silk clothing,
it is recommended to use soft water for washing, or add an appropriate amount of softener to soften the water quality.
6. Avoid drying
Silk clothing is not suitable for drying, because high temperature will shrink, deform and damage the clothing.
Therefore, you should avoid using a dryer when drying, and choose to dry naturally.
7. Pay attention to details
When washing silk clothing, you need to pay attention to some details,
such as: avoid using a brush to scrub clothing, avoid using detergents containing alcohol and vinegar, and avoid clothing directly contacting metal hangers, etc.
