“Hi, I’m your new silk scarf, I’ll last for a very long time, if you take care of me like this. :-)”
When you wash me:
- wash me by hand and gently in lukewarm water (30 degrees)
- you can use a simple shampoo to wash me – yep, the one you use on your hair
- CAUTION – never use fabric softener and don’t leave me in water for a long time
- don’t wring me, just leave me to dry naturally (not on a hot radiator), or let the water soak into a towel
- don’t dry me in direct sunlight, my colours will fade
- don’t dry me in a drier, just stretch me on a towel and let dry
- you can iron me still wet or dry on the reverse side, using SILK temperature setting, you can use a cotton sheet to cover me if you want
- don’t sprinkle me when ironing, I would start showing stains
When you wear me:
- careful when wearing me close to sharp objects, jewellry, belts, zippers etc.
- keep parfumes and hair sprays away from me
- don’t store me in a plastic case, I might turn more yellowish or catch mold
- as I am completely natural, little crawlies like moths like to eat me, so please protect me with appropriate solutions or a lavender bag
