Caring for your Mirelle mulberry silk products can be done effectively at home with a few careful steps to maintain their luxurious quality.
Hand-Washing Instructions:
- Use cold water to fill a basin and add a gentle, silk-friendly detergent.
- Submerge your silk item, soaking it for no more than a few minutes.
- Gently move the item around in the water, avoiding rubbing or wringing, to clean.
- Rinse thoroughly in cold water to remove all soap residues.
- After washing, don’t wring out the silk; instead, press out the excess water by laying the item flat on a towel.
- Allow the item to air dry, laid flat or hung up, but avoid direct sunlight and heat sources.
Machine-Washing Instructions:
- If possible turn silk items inside out and place them in a mesh laundry bag to protect the fabric.
- Set your washing machine to a delicate cycle and use cold water.
- Use a gentle detergent formulated for silk and avoid bleach, fabric softeners, or detergents with enzymes, as these can damage the silk fibers.
- Do not spin or tumbl dry the silk items. Air dry after the wash cycle is complete.
Drying Instructions:
- Silk should not be exposed to direct sunlight or heat while drying.
- If you choose to use a dryer, use the 'air' setting and remove the items before they are completely dry.
Ironing Instructions:
- If necessary, iron silk items using the lowest setting and preferably when the item is slightly damp.
- Consider using a protective cloth between the silk and the iron to prevent direct contact.
