To optimise the cleaning of your fabrics, it is recommended to use a mild, hypoallergenic detergent. Avoid harsh detergents that can damage fabric fibres and cause discolouration or premature wear.

This is a gentle and effective method of washing delicate fabrics such as silk. Cleaning with cold water and mild shampoo will be important. Avoid scrubbing the patterns too hard as this may damage them. After cleaning, rinse the fabric thoroughly with warm water to remove any shampoo residue. Avoid wringing or wringing out the fabric as this may damage it.

It is important to avoid drying these types of fabrics in direct sunlight, as this can lead to discolouration or deterioration of the fibres. Also avoid using a tumble dryer as this can damage the fibres of the fabric. Instead, place them on a clean, flat surface or hang them on a hanger to dry in the open air and shade.

Brocades, for example, are delicate and intricate fabrics that require special care when cleaning. It is recommended, if you can, to have them professionally dry cleaned to avoid damage to the fragile woven threads. This is the best way to clean these fabrics.
