Secrets & Silk Kimino Robes Care Guide
Washing Guide:
- Hand-washing silk is recommended, using cool water and a mild detergent specifically designed for silk. Gently rub areas with stains or marks, and rinse several times to remove all detergent residue.
- For machine washing, turn the garment inside out and use a delicate cycle with cold water. It's advisable to use a mesh laundry bag for added protection.
- Dry cleaning is also an option, especially for delicate silk items. Ensure that the dry cleaner uses gentle solvents and avoids harsh chemicals like trichloroethylene.
Drying Silk:
- After washing, gently squeeze out excess water without twisting or wringing the silk, as this can distort the garment and stretch the fibers.
- Lay the silk flat on a clean, dry towel, fold the towel over, and press lightly to absorb excess moisture.
- Avoid hanging silk in direct sunlight or near heat sources, as this can weaken the fibers. Air-drying in the shade is preferable.
Ironing and Steaming:
- Creases in silk can relax naturally over a few days. If ironing is necessary, do it while the silk is still slightly damp, and set the iron to a low or silk setting. Use a pressing cloth between the iron and the silk to protect the fabric.
- Steaming is a safer option for removing wrinkles from silk without direct contact.
Stain Removal:
- For general stains, a solution of water and mild soap can be effective. Be gentle to avoid watermarks or damage.
- For oil stains, act quickly by scraping away excess oil and then applying talcum powder overnight before washing.
General Tips:
- Silk is a strong and durable fiber but requires gentle handling to prevent tears or fraying.
- It's hypoallergenic, making it ideal for sensitive skin. Regular cleaning is important to maintain these benefits.
- Silk is absorbent and moisture-wicking, keeping you dry and comfortable.
- It's sensitive to friction and abrasion, so care should be taken to avoid snagging on rough surfaces.
- Silk is prone to color fading, especially when exposed to harsh chemicals or direct sunlight.
By following these guidelines, you can help ensure the longevity and beauty of your silk garments.
