How do I wash silk? Pls read details?

Question

I bought this table cloth in China but...I dont think is authentic silk..any way I need to wash it because it was stained with oil (perfume) thanks!

Answer 1

Hand wash in warm water with soap, not detergent. Make sort of push and squeeze movements to wash. DON'T hold and scrub. Gentle is the key with any delicate fabric, whether it is genuine silk or not.  Another good tip is not to iron until you're certain the stain is gone because heat from the iron could set it in place for ever. When you do iron, use a cool setting and have the material damp.  Good luck.

Answer 2

If you really like the table cloth and dont want to risk ruining  just dry-clean it.

remember -Silks dont go well with water.

Answer 3

When in doubt, hand wash
