Question

Answer 1

NO!  Dry clean only.

Answer 2

You can wash it, I would recommend if you do to fill the bath tub with comfortable water, I positively hate putting my hands in cold water even in summer, and a handful of your hair shampoo. It is a very mild cleaner, works for your hair will work for your silk or wool products.

toss the blanket in and let it soak for about 15 to 30 minutes. Swish it around a little bit. Squeeze the water out, refil the tub with clear water for rinsing. twice!! final rinse use your hair conditioner!

Hang to dry across 2 padded lines so it doesn't get crease marks or dirt from the lines. Press with a very cool iron if necessary.

I play with silks a lot. Spinning and weaving and dying them. They can be washed and don't need as much care as some people think.

Answer 3

Sorry Hunny!

Dry Cleaners here you come!

Don't use the HOME dry cleaning stuff either, it's not worth it and doesn't really work!
