Natural silk clothes: care instructions

  • Natural silk clothes: care instructions

At the mere mention about silk, many people have an association with luxury, elegance, aristocracy. This fabric is characterized by an attractive appearance. It has a shine, flows and shimmers under the influence of light rays. Silk clothes look really rich and catchy.

At the same time, natural silk is a material made from natural raw materials. Fabric is thin, light, breathable well, very pleasant to the body. It does not cause allergic reactions, and on the contrary, it promotes the regeneration of skin cells. Silk clothing is more expensive than, for example, cotton or linen. But its quality and appearance certainly justify the higher price!

Care rules for silk clothes

This material is used mainly for solemn and weekend dresses: suits, dresses, blouses, shirts. It is also used to create light scarves, ties, and even decorate shoes. Whatever purpose the clothes have, in order to preserve their original appearance for many years, they need to be properly looked after.

The most important rules for the care of silk clothes:

  • Avoid high temperatures. Hot water when washing, rinsing, too hot ironing are the enemies of silk. It is recommended to wash and rinse products made from this fabric in water with a temperature of about 30 C. The iron should be set to the minimum temperature regime. These are basic guidelines. Depending on the composition of the fabric (inclusions of other, non-silk, natural fibers are possible), the rules can be adjusted. It is best to check the label directions provided by the garment manufacturer before washing and ironing.
  • Do not twist or wring out. It is recommended to wash clothes made of natural silk by hand. But it is also possible in a washing-mashine by choosing a delicate mode. The product should be squeezed out without excessive twisting, but simply getting rid of excess water. After this, it is best to spread the garment on a flat surface and leave it to dry. To speed up the process, the product, at the stage of spinning, can be wrapped in a bath towel, which absorbs moisture.
  • Avoid harsh chemicals. Washing powder and, moreover, stain removers are not suitable for the care of silk clothes. They should be replaced with products specifically designed for delicate materials: silk, wool, etc. Do not soak clothes. When rinsing, it is recommended to add a little vinegar to the water. It fixes the shade of the product, adds brightness and saturation to the colors.
  • Avoid direct sunlight. Drying clothes made of natural silk is permissible only in the shade. Ultraviolet exposure destroys the structure of the fibers, reduces their flexibility. Also, from direct sunlight, the color of the product intensely fades. To keep the outfit bright, beautiful and supple, dry it as far away from UV rays as possible.
  • Iron silk clothing inside out. First, we repeat that to iron the outfit, you should set the minimum temperature on the iron. Secondly, silk clothes should be ironed in a slightly damp state, without using steam and in no case splashing water on them. Thirdly, the product must be turned inside out before ironing.


You can take care of your natural silk clothes at home. But you should definitely adhere to strict rules. It will be better to entrust such a responsible job to real masters of their craft, and go to a good dry cleaner. And if your wardrobe still does not have beautiful, high-quality silk outfits, then immediately go to the online catalog "LUDMILA FASHION" and choose branded clothing from the manufacturer with free delivery to any region of Ukraine!
