How to care for your silk scarf hand painted or hand dyed silk shawl
Because silk is a material as thin and weak, many people assumes that there is anything lasting and very difficult to care. Hand painted designs add to the mix and increasing fears that the subject would be too impractical and therefore represent both unprofitable.
In reality, however, hand-painted silk scarves for women and hand dyed shawls are very easy to keep and make addition to a vast wardrobe of any lady.
As with any item that is worn on the body, silk scarves and shawls should be cleaned regularly to get rid of the stains, the residue of the smells and airborne pollutants that can affect the appearance of the material. Washing not only refreshes the colors, giving a new life, but also gets rid of odors can cling to any type of tissue. Far from shortening the life of this item, keeps it in tip-top condition your beautiful and unique scarf or shawl continues to provide value for many years. Here are some quick tips and easy to take into account to extend the life of your canvas wearable.
1. Hand wash the item. The dry cleaning process uses harsh chemicals that not only may have a material adverse effect on silk but also in the colors and dyes used to create unique designs in hand painted or hand dyed scarf or shawl. The agitation and temperature changes the clothes washing machine are subject at hand can also damage painted or dyed silk. Hand washing is fast, efficient and safe, and also of course, profitable. Use warm water instead of hot water, and always make sure you use a mild detergent or, better yet, a mild baby soap or shampoo. The nature of the material is such that this should be sufficient, even to remove stains, but it is important not to rub the hard material as this may cause points spent to appear. Ordinary household table salt, when added to the solution of soap and water keeps the colors at the point of bleeding, but never, under any circumstances, chlorine must be used.
2. Add vinegar during the rinse. Once your silk scarf or shawl has been washed, you then need to clarify clear water, fresh, making sure not to drain in the process. When all the soap is removed, rinse again, this time adding a little vinegar for cooking water. This not only neutralize the soap, but also a delight for the cloth and restore its natural shine. Finally, rinse again in clear cold water to remove the vinegar, being careful to ensure that no odor remains.
3. Use clean towels to dry the scarf or shawl. Silk should never be drained as it may cause it is stretched and deformed. Instead, put your scarf or shawl on a clean towel and then rolled. This actually squeeze out excess water without causing any damage. Once done, just put the scarf or shawl on another dry towel and let air dry.
4. Iron carefully. When it comes to iron your silk scarf or shawl, it is always preferable to work on the back of the fabric, but make sure the iron is in its lowest position. Alternatively, you can use a position slightly higher, but the place one point behind clean cotton cloth or towel to avoid direct contact with the heat.
Hand painted scarves silk shawls are a pleasure to own, and following these simple steps, yours will give you pleasure for many years.

War Paint $22.48 Raves for War Paint "The amount of research and meticulous personal data in this book is really quite remarkable and compelling. It provides a wealth of information from which to draw wonderfully three-dimensional characters and humanizes this iconic twosome." -Raquel Welch "I have seldom enjoyed a book so much as War Paint. The research is staggering-I loved all the detail about society and the arts in Paris, New York, and London that so beautifully set our two heroines in context during such a long span of years . . . it was a wonderful read." -Lulu Guinness "A compelling cosmetic portrait of the first half of the twentieth century." -W magazine "So riveting that it reads like the movie that will surely be made. . . . With first-hand research and fast-paced prose, Woodhead has succeeded in turning dusty archives into high drama." -Suzy Menkes, International Herald Tribune "It might seem impossible to wring another drop of H2O (water is still a 90 percent base of most cosmetics), let alone humour and historical interest, out of the absurd but ever-alluring beauty business, but Lindy Woodhead has succeeded." -Nicky Haslam, Literary Review "These were women who were tough in business, who had a single vision-an idea of what they believed in and would do anything to get there." -Bobbi Brown |
