"Tip of the Week"

|
| Special
Considerations With Silk (week 2) |
w/e
15/03/10 |
| In the second in the series on silk we look at more
reasons why silk needs special treatment and describe some care you can
take to protect your garments. |
| Here's a list of some common problems with cleaning silk and their
causes: |
| Rubbing |
| If silk is rubbed or treated harshly it's likely
to cause chafing and this shows itself as a hazy patch on the
surface of the fabric. It looks similar to colour loss but isn't
the same. Even rubbing a stain when a spill happens is likely to
cause this chafing,
but the damage may only be visible after the fabric has been dry
cleaned. To avoid these problems as far as possible, Don't
rub the surface, Reduce any mechanical action when cleaning and Clean any garment on it's own (even if
you use a net bag). |
| Colour Loss |
Vivid coloured silks are often not colour fast.
They readily run into both themselves and other garments if
cleaned together. This means you must test vivid coloured silk for colour run
using the same material you're using to clean it in. Put some of
the fluid on a white lint free cloth (water, dry cleaning
solvent or stain treatment) and hold it against the garment in
an unseen area for around 20 seconds. If the colour isn't fast
you should see some evidence of the colour on the cloth when you
remove it.
Never apply any spotting reagents to silk unless you have tested
an unseen area first. |
| Distortion (Shrinkage) |
| Any fabric with a loose weave or knit has a
problem with distortion when cleaning. If you notice a
difference then lightly steam the fabric while teasing it back
into shape with you hands. Silk doesn't shrink naturally, so any size difference is likely
to be caused through slippage of the fabric and should be dealt
with in this way. |
| Excessive Creasing |
| If silk is wet naturally or when spotting it is
likely to crease badly as it dries. Very heavy creasing may be
impossible to remove so think very carefully before wetting
silk. If you do suffer this problem then damping the surface and
ironing may remove the creases, but it's not guaranteed to do
so. |
| Originating Country |
Most silk comes from China or India and each has
a tendency for individual problems.
India often uses water soluble dyes and this means washing or
stain treatment is likely to make the dyes run.
Chinese silk is prone to colour loss.
In either case always test an unseen area of the fabric before
cleaning or stain treatment, either with the cleaning fluid or
the reagent you're about to use. |
| Check The Label |
ALWAYS LOOK AT THE LABEL, this not only protects
you against doing something wrong but also means you can return
a garment to the retailer if you follow the instructions and
something goes wrong.
Never use chlorine bleach on silk.
And remember - If in doubt - DON'T |
|
| We hope that these hints and tips will keep your silk
garments luxurious for years of happy wearing. |
