For White silk garments, add some hydrogen peroxide when rinsing; move the silk garment carefully, without twisting and rinse using cold water, most importantly, dry the garment flat without exposing the silk to direct sunlight, so you can avoid staining and fading. Above all we suggest to iron the silk garments when they are still damp, placing a cloth inbetween the garment and the iron, will ensure no steam stains.<\/p>\n<h2>Special tips for the care of silk<\/h2>\n<p>If machine washing, the drums must be perfect without burrs to avoid pulling threads and ruining the silk, likewise washing bins must be very smooth.
