WASHING GUIDE ✨ for mud silk
⚬ Dry clean is best and highly recommended
⚬ Hand Wash with silk detergent or hair shampoo in luke water less than 5 minutes
⚬ No soap, no bleach, no tumble dry
⚬ Though I wash my mud silk clothing in washing machine (they are fine) I don't suggest you do same
⚬ Inevitable color fading during washing due to nature plant dye without chemical treatment finishing
