Although an exquisite silk scarf can be expensive, it is also a wise investment. It is a fabric that should be purchased with a long-term commitment. A trans-seasonal silk scarf that transcends passing trends is always a wise choice.
The slow fashion movement led by Artdogs LLC selects products, like the birdhouse long scarf made of 100% pure silk habotai, crafted with care and sustainability in mind.
Your investment pieces will remain fashionable for longer by receiving the proper care and storage. How you wash, wear, and preserve your silk will also affect how long it lasts.
We’ve created a comprehensive guide that shows the proper care techniques to keep your silk scarf last longer.
1. Hand Wash
Before putting detergent on your silk, read the detergent’s label. When hand-washing silk, phrases like “suited for silk” and “delicates” are your best allies. Bleach is never a good idea because it will harm the fibers in your silk.
Here’s a step-by-step guide for the correct hand-washing technique:
● Put your silk scarf in cold water with a gentle detergent designed for silk.
● Allow soaking for no more than 5 minutes.
● Gently and softly move the scarf in the water.
● Use fresh water to rinse.
● Utilize a fabric conditioner in the final rinse to maintain the cloth’s moisturized texture.
● Rinse thoroughly with cold water.
● To remove extra moisture, ball up your scarf and squeeze, not wring. Lay it out on a towel and roll it.
2. Ironing
Most silk creases can be easily removed by steaming, but not everyone can access one. Hanging your scarf in the bathroom while you take a hot shower is a fantastic steamer hack.
Here are some guidelines for safely ironing your silk if you can’t remove the wrinkles by steaming them:
● Heat the iron on low or the silk setting.
● Only iron silk after it has dried.
● Place it between a cloth and not in direct contact with the heat.
● Avoid spraying or wetting silk when ironing since water stains may remain.
3. Storage
It’s recommended not to fold or leave silk bunched up for long as it’s sensitive to creasing. If you’re storing your scarf for a lengthy period, make sure it’s clean and placed in a breathable fabric bag. Avoid plastic ones because they seal in moisture.
Another suggestion for long-term storage is to keep your silk scarf out of the sun to prevent color fading and fiber weakening. Since silk is a protein, it can attract moths. So placing a natural moth repellent in the bag is advised.
4. Key Points to Keep In Mind
There are some essential factors most people overlook while maintaining the integrity of your birdhouse men’s square silk scarf, including:
● Read care instructions properly
● Don’t machine wash
● Keep it away from a dryer
● Avoid harsh chemicals
● Never iron on high heat
