silk care

to clean your dyed and painted silk, you may...

• spot clean
• dry-clean*
• hand-wash cold
• air dry or iron dry
• iron with “silk” setting

*Dry-clean dyed silk only. Do not dry-clean silk with metallic "paint" on one side.

hand-washing

Your hand-painted, hand-dyed silk scarf/painting may be hand-washed in cold water.*

• Use a mild soap such as Woolite™ or gentle hair shampoo.
• Optional: Follow hand-washing with a bath of water and a little hair conditioner to add softness and to help untangle tassels if you have them.
• Rinse well in cold water.
• Blot dry in a towel and hang to dry or iron dry with iron set to “silk” setting.

* Water must be cold. Do not leave silk to soak over time.

neck ties

Handwashing silk neckties is not recommended as it distorts their shape.

• Spot-clean or find a dry-cleaner who specializes in ties.
• Do not iron the rolled edges of a tie, thus destroying it's nice dimension. Instead, hold the iron an inch above the tie, steam it and flatten with your hand.
• Rolling your tie can also quickly remove wrinkles.
• The best way to remove wrinkles is to hang the tie in your bathroom while you shower.
