Care Instructions for Scarf:

Pure silk is a valuable natural material with a wonderful luxurious feel to it. Care for silk scarf should be handled with love and care. When not wearing it, fold it without creasing it and store it in a box wrapped in tissue paper. You can also hang it over a padded hanger. If your silk scarf is wrinkled you can always iron it. When ironing your scarf use the lowest heat setting on your iron (one one the scale). Silk can be cleaned by hand washing with cold or lukewarm water using mild soap.



You can put herb sachets in the drawer where you keep your scarves, as it will keep the silk scarves fresh with light fragrance. Repeated washing can damage the fibers of any clothing item ... especially vintage. To keep your scarves in good condition wash them as little as possible.



Dry cleaner cloths are a great for home washing care. One cloth can clean up to six items.



Don't wash fabrics such as rayon, silk, pure wool, satin, acetate, taffeta and lace.



Regardless of the wash care instructions on very old vintage items, washing or dry cleaning them, especially when it comes to silk, can be very harmful to their delicate fabrics. Try to resist the temptation of wearing a scarf two days in a row. Airing allows the garments fibers to breathe and restores it for the next time you wear it.
