Silk products require special care to maintain their beauty and quality. We recommend professional dry cleaning, but home care is also possible if the following guidelines are followed:
1. Washing:
- Hand Wash Only: Use only cool water (up to 30°C) for washing or even rinsing.
- Detergents: Use special liquid detergents for silk or shampoos with a neutral pH to preserve the natural shine of the fabric.
- Avoid Using: Bleach and alcohol-based products are strictly prohibited as they damage silk fibers.
- Prevent Fading: Do not soak silk items, as natural dyes used for silk can fade.
2. Drying:
- Proper Drying Method: Do not wring or rub the fabric to avoid damaging the weave.
- Dry Flat: Lay the item on a towel and dry it flat, away from direct sunlight and heat sources like radiators. Do not use a tumble dryer!
3. Storage:
- Storage Conditions: Store silk items in a place with good air circulation. Fold them neatly without placing heavy items on top.
- Avoid: Do not store silk products in sealed plastic bags, as this can lead to mold growth.
By following these recommendations, you can keep your Obiiimy silk products in excellent condition for many years!
