How is silk washed?

In general, silk is divided into three layers. Inside is silk (usually mulberry silk). We call it inner sleeve or tire cover with silk, silk and tire cover are called core, and the outermost quilt is added. , it constitutes a comfortable silk quilt. Whether it is a silk quilt or some other quilt, we usually put a quilt on the outside. This quilt is no doubt washable, and it is also the most frequently washed. Because silk silk is not prone to static electricity, it does not absorb dust and dirt like chemical fibers and wool. Even if it is used for years, it is very clean. So, as long as it is not a special case, you don't need to wash the quilt inside.

But what if the inside core is carelessly wet by children or other stains? The general instructions for use of silk are to say that silk is not washable, it cannot be dry cleaned, it cannot be bleached by chlorine, and it cannot be ironed. Therefore, first of all, it is recommended to send the dry cleaners to professional treatment. If you want to get your hands dirty, you can use a neutral detergent (such as washing detergent for fruits and vegetables) to wipe locally at low temperatures. The silk fibers are resistant to acids and alkalis and should be avoided. Wash detergents and soaps that are too alkaline to prevent fiber damage. Soap also binds with calcium and magnesium ions in the water to form scum scale that deposits on the silk fibers, making the silk yellow and rough. Washing is preferably hand-washing. Generally, it should not be machine-washed, nor can it be brushed. Washing temperature below 30 °C is appropriate, first hand to the water before the detergent can be mixed into the core, the soaking time in water should not exceed five minutes, gently scrub, rinse, wash can not be twisted to prevent Displacement of silk and silk hair. Since silk protein molecules cause photochemical reactions in the sun to cause yellowing and brittleness, they can only be dried and not exposed. Silk is easy to wrinkle, ironing is necessary after washing, and finally please note: when ironing, not high temperature, not directly ironing, must be covered with a layer of wet cloth, the appropriate temperature can also make it hard after drying The hand feels softer, but the temperature exceeds 130°C and causes yellowing. Do not spray water while ironing to prevent water marks from affecting the appearance.
