At Araia Paradis we use the finest silks, thus requiring delicate care. All our garments should only be dry cleaned by a specialist or hand washed in cold water.

Here are a few tips to hand washing silk:

Silk is a protein, like our hair, meaning it doesn’t require much to clean it. Therefore, lightly washing for a couple of minutes in cold water using a gentle soap or silk-specific detergent will allow the fibres to get rid of any dirt or oil.

Please do not dry silk in the sun, it can cause serious fading of the color. Instead, lay the silk flat on a towel to help absorb some moisture and then let it air dry. If required, you can hang dry them away from direct sunlight. Try and use padded hangers instead of hard hangers to help avoid misshaping of the piece.

Do not iron or apply heat directly onto the silk. Either go to a specialist or steam pieces gently.
