Here are 3 tips on how to take care of and treat silk, recommended by Lơ Silk:

​

1. It can be worn 3–4 times before washing
Silk can be worn 3–4 times before washing. If you wear silk in an air-conditioned environment or during cool weather without significant stains, you may wear it a few more times before needing to wash it. The inherent protein fibres have natural antibacterial properties, so they also do not retain unpleasant odours.

​

2. Turn it inside out to avoid damage
When packing or moving items, remember to turn the garment inside out to protect the silk surface from scratches. Alternatively, silk garments should be rolled and neatly placed in a separate bag within your suitcase.

​

3. Cold-water washing for convenience and preservation
Dry cleaning is the optimal method for silk garments. However, you can gently hand-wash them in cold water for convenience. The use of detergents is not recommended, as they can diminish the natural sheen of the silk.
