Silk and Wool Care
Laundry CareFabric Care
Silk and wool are delicate fabrics that require special care. Incorrect washing methods can cause clothes to shrink, deform, or fade. This guide will teach you how to properly wash and care for silk and wool garments.
Warning
Never put silk and wool garments in the dryer! High heat can cause severe shrinkage and deformation.
Do not use detergents containing bleach, as bleach can damage the fibers of silk and wool.
Avoid direct sunlight, as prolonged exposure can cause clothes to fade.
Before washing, carefully read the washing label on the garment and follow the instructions. If the label states dry clean only, take it to a professional dry cleaner.
