All of our Dupioni silks are Dry Clean Only materials. We do not recommend machine washing or hand washing. Silk Dupioni may shrink up to 14 percent of its original size if machine washed.
Keeping your silk dupioni drapes clean is to lightly vacuum them periodically. Do not use upright vacuum.

To remove wrinkles, use an iron on a low - medium heat setting.

Silk is widely considered to be:
* The most luxurious fabric
* The most comfortable fabric
* The most absorbent fabric (equal to wool)
* The best fabric for drape
* The best fabric for color
* Capable of the greatest luster
* Having the finest "hand"
* The strongest natural fabric (a steel filament of the same
diameter as silk will break before a filament of silk.)
* Environmentally friendly
* Soil resistant
* Moth & mildew resistant
* Cool in summer
* Warm in winter

 

Cotton is often described as “breathable” because of its ability to absorb and release moisture quickly. It is a tough textile, able to withstand high temperature without disintegrating, and last for years.
Cotton is often combined with linen, wool or polyester.

We pre-wash all cotton fabrics before we start making the linens.
You may machine wash all cotton linens. Use cold - warm water, gently cycle, absolutely no bleach.
Please turn embellished cotton linens (anything with embroidery) inside our before washing.

Dry cotton linens in your dryer on low heat or hand it to dry. Iron your cotton linens with hot, steamy iron to remove wrinkles.

Many times for our linens we use cotton bumper and add removable silk dupioni ties. Please make sure you remove the ties before washing your cotton linens.

 

Taffeta is made of either natural silk fibers or artificial fibers such as polyester or nylon, or a combination of natural fibers and artificial fibers. It has a soft feel and a shiny smooth appearance.

Dry clean taffeta made from silk.
Machine - wash polyester or nylon taffeta using cool water and gentle spin cycle. If taffeta has embroidery, please place the linens in a laundry bag. Polyester or nylon taffeta can also be hand-washed. Use liquid deterged. Never use bleach.

Iron taffeta on the wrong side of the fabric, using an iron set on low heat.
