How do I clean delicate fabrics without damaging them?

To clean delicate fabrics, start by checking the care label for specific instructions. Generally, hand washing in cold water with a gentle detergent is best.

What if the fabric is silk?

For silk, use a mild detergent and avoid wringing the fabric. Instead, gently press the water out and lay it flat to dry.

Can I use a washing machine?

If the care label allows it, use a mesh laundry bag and select a delicate cycle with cold water. Always air dry afterward.

What about stains?

For stains, treat them immediately with a gentle stain remover or a mixture of water and vinegar, testing on a small area first.
