Natural silk in our time is rare, if not exotic. Artificial is often used to make beautiful underwear or other products. But regardless of the naturalness of the fabric, general recommendations and rules on how to wash silk things remain common.
Is it possible to wash natural silk?
In fact, the natural fabric of silk threads itself has antibacterial properties, so that fresh air on the balcony is quite capable of ventilating a blouse or other thing. In washing, such things need only once a couple of weeks, unless of course you did not have time to plant a stain. And now let's go to the list at what temperature to wash silk and how to do it competently.
- Ideally, washing should only be manual. To rub actively or squeeze things out is a bad idea, everything is done neatly and gently. If there is no sign on the label that the thing is allowed to be washed in a typewriter, it is best to do it manually.
- If it's a blouse or a nightdress, it's no problem to work manually. And when you need to wash silk, and this bed linen, make it more convenient in a washing machine, since it will be difficult to handle. Fortunately, in our time, machines quite carefully treat tissues and wash things neatly. Before you wash the silk in a washing machine, it is advisable to put everything in the laundry bag. Choose a special mode and wash separately from the rest of the laundry.
- It is equally important and at what temperature to wash silk, because it directly affects the fabric. Hot water will make it tough, mint and iron will be more difficult.
- With regard to the means for washing, it is desirable to use a liquid, without chlorine. And some perfectly refresh things with shampoo for hair.
- And one more thing needs to be learned before washing the silk things: at least we will be washing in lukewarm water, rinse immediately in the cold is not worth it, otherwise the thing will shrink. First we rinse it in clean water of the same temperature, and the second time in a cooler one with an air conditioner.
