Special Considerations With Silk (week 1)

w/e 22/07/24

As cleaning silk is such a wide and varied topic it's  best to cover its treatment over 3 weeks. This week we'll give an explanation of silk "The Fibre" and different silk materials and general cleaning considerations, while next week we'll look at more specific problems in its cleaning.

Silk is the product of the bombax mori moth, as it naturally produces silk when making its cocoon. Completely unravelling the cocoon gives a long continuous fibre, whereas waiting until the moth leaves the cocoon, when it breaks the fibres to escape, results in many shorter fibres that then must be woven into yarn. It's the base fibre for many fine materials, so it could be useful to list those fabrics that are often made from silk. They are:

Chiffon
Sheer slightly crimped texture
Crepe-de-Chine
Twisted yarn with fine plain weave
Georgette
Very thin twisted yarned fabric
Grossgrain
Heavy matt finished fabric
Organza
Sheer, very fine and very crisp fabric
Ottoman
Sheer, very fine and very crisp fabric
Peau de Soie
Heavy and smooth with a satin weavec
Pongee
Natural colour thin and plain
Raw Silk
Silk retaining the cocoons gum
Shantung
Fabric has slubs (like knots)
Spun Silk
Spun silk made from the shorter fibres
Sueded Silk
Sanded texture brushes like suede
Taffeta
Crisp silk used in party dresses
Thai Silk
Irregular fabric often with crinckle
Tulle
Net which is both fine and stiff
Tussah
Rough texture and light brown
Wild Silk
generic term for uncultivated silk
Voile
Very fine looks like net curtaining.
Dry Cleaning Silk:

The key to successful dry cleaning is to use freshly distilled solvent, especially when you have light coloured silk. In fact, all silk should have a final rinse in freshly distilled solvent and light colours should only be cleaned this way. Adding any water can produce graying or sweal marks so ensure the garment has to be completely dry before cleaning.

Washing Silk:

Dry cleaning should be the method of choice unless the care label suggests only washing. No matter what you do, washed silk will crease much more than dry cleaned silk and these creases may be difficult to remove. Minimise the agitation and never wring or crumple the silk, as damage can occur when you treat silk harshly. This is true even if you simply rub the surface of the material too harshly. Place the garment in a bag to minimise agitation and the chance of damage caused by hitting other garments or buttons and zips. Put the garment in a fairly full washing cage, as this will reduce the mechanical action, but make sure all colours are similar and that the other garments are not heavily soiled.

We're often asked by visitors to the site to find certain products used by professionals and to supply them through DrClean. Perhaps the most requested is anything that might clean an iron easily - and now we've found the perfect answer. Ez-Off is made in the USA and is designed for professionals to clean their commercial irons.

Here's how it's used;

  • To clean equipment squeeze a liberal amount of Ez-Off onto a heavy cotton cloth (an old terry towel works best).
  • While the equipment is HOT rub the soiled metal pressing or ironing surface with circular motions. After removing all the soil simply wipe with the clean end of the cloth.
  • If you want to keep equipment clean, slick and operating smoothly, clean with Ez-Off daily. This will ensure maximum speed with minimum interuptions.
