Silk fabric maintenance tips mainly include the following aspects:
Cleaning and maintenance
1. Washing: It is best to use soft water, and the temperature is best at 35-40 degrees Celsius. Alkali has a destructive effect on silk fibers, so it is advisable to use neutral detergents or silk and wool detergents. Salt is also very destructive to silk. Silk clothing should be changed and washed frequently to avoid yellow spots and affect the wearing life. Do not stir or twist vigorously when washing, but rub gently with large handfuls.
2. Drying: After washing, hang it in a cool and ventilated place to dry. It is not advisable to expose it to the sun to prevent ultraviolet radiation in the sun from causing fiber brittleness and fading.
3. Ironing: When it is 80% dry, cover the silk surface with a white cloth and iron it flat with an iron (the temperature should not be too high, it should always be uniform, and do not use steam). Do not spray water, otherwise it will cause water stains and affect the appearance.
4. Collection: Place mothballs wrapped in paper when collecting to prevent insects from eating them. Each piece of clothing should be separated by a layer of paper or non-woven fabric. White silk should be wrapped with blue paper, and white paper or white cloth should not be used to prevent yellowing over time.
Daily maintenance
1. Avoid contact with chemicals: Silk fabrics cannot be sprayed with perfume, fresheners, etc., and mothballs cannot be used when storing, because these things will cause discoloration and yellowing.
2. Correct storage: Do not use iron hangers, and do not store with items that are easy to dye, so as to avoid rust pollution and dyeing items to dye silk. Keep the space ventilated and dry when storing. If it is stored in a humid or direct sunlight place, it is easy to grow mildew or fade.
The above are the maintenance tips for silk fabrics, I hope it will be helpful to you.
