My silk scarves are very easy to hand wash to freshen up. The dye is 100% fixed. Recommendation to lightly hand washing in mild soapy water, rinse well but gently. Press flat onto a clean bath towel so as not to scrunch and cause creases but this simply takes out a fair bit of water quickly. The silk will dry really fast if you hang it up to dry neatly with no creases overlapping, as when dry it makes it easy to iron on a medium heat setting on the back of the silk. Enjoy wearing it!
