How to wash silk products and fabrics?

General information

• It does not need to be washed, which is the hardest thing for many people to get used to - but yes, it is still clean because the smooth surface of the silk fiber does not allow anything to stick to the material (unlike the cotton fiber).
• If an accident was to happen, you can rinse the silk through with running water and squeeze out the water with towels and let it dry by itself.
• Dry cleaning is ok
• Do not use bleach
