Style Tips

Sweet and sexy pj’s say “love” on Valentine’s Day, and nothing is more luxurious than silk. But, how do you care for your slinky undergarment?  Here’s how…

*Hand-wash in cold water with a mild detergent and drip-dry to keep silks fresh.

*A vinegar rinse (one capful of white vinegar) will protect fabric and keep the color from fading.

*Never spot clean silk with water, as it leaves a watermark AND a stain.

*Avoid drying silks in direct sunlight or they will yellow.

*If you’re ironing out the wrinkles, use a warm (NOT HOT) iron on the wrong side of the fabric.

Enjoy your silk lingerie EVERY DAY—not just on Valentine’s Day!
