Take care of your silk: Practical tips for preserving your silk accessories

Silk, with its luxurious softness and natural shine, deserves special attention to preserve all its splendor over time. At E'mbellie, we want to support you in the care of your precious silk accessories. Here are some simple and effective tips for taking care of your silk scarves, ribbons and scrunchies.

1. Washing: Opt for delicateness

Silk is a delicate fabric that requires gentle washing. Here's how to do it:

  • Hand wash recommended: Use cold or lukewarm water with a mild soap specially designed for delicate fabrics. Avoid harsh detergents that can damage the fibers.
  • Do not rub: Soak your silk accessory for a few minutes, then gently squeeze out the water without twisting the fabric.
  • Avoid the washing machine: Even the delicate cycle can damage silk, unless you use a suitable protective bag.

2. Drying: Preserve the texture

Drying is a crucial step to maintain the quality of the silk:

  • No tumble dry: Air dry in the shade on a clean towel. Direct heat can damage the shine of silk.
  • Do not hang: Laying flat prevents the fabric from deforming.

3. Ironing: A perfect finish

To smooth your silk and restore its shine:

  • Iron at low temperature: Place a cloth between your iron and the silk to avoid direct contact.
  • Slightly damp: Ironing while the silk is still slightly damp will make it easier.

4. Storage: Store your silk like a treasure

  • Avoid direct light: Store your silk accessories in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
  • Don't fold for too long: Use hangers or gently roll your scarves to avoid permanent creases.
  • Add a moth repellent sachet: This protects your rooms from insects while giving them a light, pleasant scent.

5. In case of a stain: React quickly

If a stain appears, treat it quickly:

  • Light stain: Use a soft, damp cloth to gently dab the stain, without rubbing.
  • Stubborn stain: Call a professional cleaner who specializes in delicate fabrics.

Cherish your silk

Silk accessories are not only fashion pieces, they are also timeless treasures that deserve careful care. With these tips, you will be able to enjoy your E'mbellie products for many years, while maintaining their beauty and shine.
