For delicate fabrics, such as silk or satin, we recommend reading the wash instructions provided on the garment label as these types of fabrics are sensitive and can easily be damaged by the agitation of a washing machine and the ingredients used in harsh laundry detergents. Here are several ways for washing delicate fabrics:

Hand Wash: It's best to hand wash silk and satin in cold water using a gentle detergent specifically designed for delicate fabrics.

Use a Gentle Detergent: Choose a mild detergent that is formulated for delicate fabrics. There are detergents specifically made for silk and satin.

Avoid Soaking: Do not soak silk or satin for long periods. A quick wash and rinse are sufficient.

Do Not Wring: Gently squeeze out excess water without wringing the fabric to avoid damaging the fibers.

Dry Flat: Lay the fabric flat on a clean towel to dry. Avoid direct sunlight and heat sources.

Machine Wash (if necessary): If you must use a washing machine, place the fabric in a mesh laundry bag, use the delicate cycle, and ensure you are using a gentle detergent, such as Laundry Sauce. However, hand washing is always the safer option.
