- With all the money you spend on dry-cleaning silk dresses, you could buy, well, more silk dresses. The Laundress co-founder, Lindsey Wieber Boyd, tells us how you clean silk in the washing machine.
I would NEVER dry-clean silk! Not even once, because once the Dry-clean solution is in the silk, real stain removing becomes virtually impossible. Home-wash from day one, in delicate laundry liquid, with a few ml of vinegar as needed for stain removing; and a coolest steam setting on your steam-iron to restore the lustre.
Well done Laundress! You know your stuff.
Also never dry silk I’m sunlight. It could make the colour fade.
Thx so much it was so helpful
Do silk polyester or silk cotton blends require special care, or can they be washed and dried normally?
Legend thank you....
i have no problem with machine washing my silks but when i hang them to dry, they get stiff & a bit scratchy. Is it possible that my washer isn't rinsing the silk items well enough? I would appreciate any help. thanks m
Hi there! We recommend giving your washing machine a thorough cleaning before attempting again. If this continues to happen, then you are best handwashing. Handwashing is the safest method for washing silk!
I know this is a 5 year old comment, but the solution is probably lack of movement, you need wind or a fan or something to keep the protiens in the fabric from making the fabric scratchy
@@arit8009 oh thanks 👍🏻

How do I prevent my silk tops from losing their sheen? I washed one by hand and it is no longer shiny.
586Rexford You may want to check out this link "www.howtocleanstuff.net/how-to-restore-shine-to-silk/"? However, I have not tried this myself.
ioeopep Thanks so much! I'll definitely try this! :)
Coolest steam setting on your steam-iron should do the trick, with a little vinegar in the wash.
So "NO WIRE HANGERS, EVER!!!!!!"

Joan should have scolded the maid.
No more wire hangers!
that was very light on information. "you should never dry silk in the dryer" WHY NOT???? you don't say WHY NOT.
