Main Silk Care Principles Gentle Washing
-
Silk is a very delicate fabric, so it requires special attention during washing. It is recommended to hand wash silk accessories in cold water. Use a gentle detergent specifically designed for silk or baby shampoo. Avoid strong chemicals that can damage the fabric.
-
Drying
Never dry silk in direct sunlight or on hot surfaces, such as a radiator. It is best to let silk dry naturally on a flat surface. Gently squeeze out excess water, but do not twist or wring the fabric to avoid damaging its structure.
-
Ironing
If you need to iron a silk accessory, do it at a low temperature using the silk fabric setting on the iron. To avoid direct heat exposure, iron through a soft material or cloth. I recommend steaming the hair ties.
-
Storage
Keep silk accessories in a dark, cool place to protect them from direct sunlight and moisture. It is best to store silk on soft hangers or gently folded in clean fabric. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, as this can cause moisture buildup, so I always recommend keeping accessories in EMILLYA reusable bags.
Special Tips for Different Silk Accessories

Silk Scarves and Shawls
Silk scarves and shawls are often close to the face and neck, so they can be affected by cosmetics, perfumes, and sweat. To avoid stains, try not to apply perfume directly on silk. If a stain occurs, remove it immediately with a gentle detergent and cold water.
-
Silk Ties
Silk ties are sensitive to stains and wrinkles. To avoid deformation, store ties hanging or gently folded. If the tie wrinkles, use a steamer or a low iron temperature, but be careful not to damage the fabric.
-
Silk accessories
Silk accessories should be washed separately from clothing to avoid color transfer and fabric damage. Use a gentle detergent and avoid bleach.
