Silk clothing is one of the most elegant clothing which makes you look pretty and graceful. However this fabric needs a lot of care and attention. In fact if proper care is not taken then your silk clothes will lose their shape. First of all make sure that you read the labels properly for washing instructions as there are different variations of silk like China silk or Indian silk and the like which need different washing procedures. Some articles of clothing are particularly sensitive to the harsh washing action of a machine, for example, silk stockings are likely to shrink considerably or have a ladder ripped into their fine fabric. Silk feels smooth and soft on the skin and is a pleasure to wear but it is not so easy to wash. There are lots of tips to ensure your silk clothing gets the best of care and that you can wear it for a long time. Generally you can soak your clothes into mildly warm water with vinegar for around 15 to 20 minutes. If there is a stain carefully spot-clean. During spot-cleaning, ensure your hands are moving outwards in rather than inwards out. After you are done, wash out the soap.

Never wash materials like crepe, satin silk or taffeta. Always dry clean them. Once you are done with washing never rinse them to dry. To dry silk clothes use the technique of soak drying. Soak drying is putting your wet clothes between two dry towels. Give your silk all the pampering it needs!

Washing regular clothes is not much of a hassle as long as your washing machine is working. But that expensive dress you bought for your cousin’s wedding is not machine material. These expensive clothes need special care as the strain from the machine stretches the delicate fabric and leads it to lose its shape.

Before you get to washing, check whether any instructions have been provided on the label. Fill the sink with water, ¼ cup of detergent and then the clothes. White clothes should be washed separately and dark clothes should be separated from the lighter ones. Soak clothes for around 20 minutes. Make sure the temperature of the water is right. Different clothes require different temperatures ranging from hot to cold. If you are washing white clothes then add bleach at this stage. In case you need to deal with a stain scrub the portion gently. Knead the clothes till you are satisfied that the dirt is out. Place clothes under running water till all the soap is washed away. Now hang them to dry and they are as good as new!
