How To Wash A Silk Scarf

A silk scarf, in itself, shows your style. It can be a contrast to your outfit or a compliment, but everyone notices a well-tied, well-chosen scarf. No matter what the season, silk scarves are always in style.

Analyze the scarf. How dirty is it?

If a scarf has just a small spot on it, you may be able to clean just the spot. Mix 1 tsp. Woolite or baby shampoo with 1 cup warm water (not hot). Using a lint-free cloth, wet the cloth and lightly rub the spot on the scarf. You may not be able to tell if it is removed until it is completely dry.

If the scarf has picked up a disagreeable odor, you will need to wash it; likewise, if it accidentally fell in a puddle or otherwise met a bad fate, it will need to be washed.
