Whether ‘need’ based masculine scarves for men or versatile fashionable women’s scarves both need utmost care while washing and storing. Scarves of different fabrics need different caring technique to make them long lasting if you want to reuse them for longer period. Before going to wash them owner have to consider scarves as very delicate thing which are needed to be handled carefully. Scarves made of cotton, wool, silk, rayon and satin are tender than any other ordinary outfits of yours thus need care.
Follow some steps provided below to keep your charming scarves in perfect condition.
Silk Scarves: Silk scarves for women are most valuable accessory they posses. Silk is the most delicate fabric in comparison to any other so need that level of soft touch also. To wash them – get a silk detergent from store and prepare a solution by pouring then in clean water (below 300 Celsius). Soak your scarf atleast for 10-15 minutes and stir it with your hand. For serious stain massage it gently. Resin it gently in water to washout detergent. Roll the scarf in clean and soft towel and press delicately to dry to wring out water. Hang it on hanger and dry place away from direct sunlight. Do not wash with other clothes and while ironing, keep temperature at silk setting.
Cotton Scarves: Cotton is staple fabric but get wrinkled and deep stain very easily. In order to wash cotton scarves, first pre-treat stains if any with cleanser and always use warm water to wash. Never wash cotton cloth with any other stuff of different colors and in different fabric. Color of other fabric can get attached to scarf very easily. Try to wash cotton scarf separately otherwise wash with similar color cotton fabrics. Cotton gets shirked on too much drying so keep drying time shorter. Hang it on clean hanger and place it in mild sunlight making inside out. Never iron them on low heat; it will not affect the wrinkle. Use hot iron smoothly and gently over all area of fabric for a soft and flat scarf.
Woolen scarves: used as winter scarves or shawls, they are the most effective way of keeping oneself warm in winters. Woolen shawls can be washed as any other garment most preferably woolens. Dry them on direct sunlight making inside out. After drying, wrinkles might cause a problem because woolen shawls straighten up the wrinkle on its own but give atleast a day for rest. If you still need to iron them then make use of pressing cloth to cover as a hot iron can damage the fabric of woolen scarves severely. If possible use iron with built-in steamer, so the moisture will take care of heat.
For storing scarves, fold them neatly and gently in spacious place. If required space is not available then hang them on padded hanger. Never store them in narrow area otherwise their fabrics could be damaged. Home wash of scarves must be your second option. Always dry clean your scarves if not possible then go for hand wash not machine wash. Machine wash for scarves strictly not recommended.
