    PRECAUTIONS DURING WASHING

    Water used for washing should be soft. If water is hard, add a pinch of Borax
    or ammonia to soften it.
    A good neutral soap either in the form of flakes or powder may be used.
    However pH-neutral detergents are recommended.
    Cleaning may be done in Luke warm soap solutions by kneading & squeezing
    or suction washing.
    Silk fabrics may be rinsed in Luke warm water 2 or 3 times to remove soap
    and the released dirt.
    Finally a few drops of citric acid or acetic acid may be added to the last rinse
    in cold water.
    Silk with doubtful colours may be steeped in cold water with a small amount
    of citric acid or acetic acid for 1 to 2 min before washing in lukewarm or cold
    water.
    Avoid mechanical handling of silk fabrics under wet condition, Handle silk
    gently during washing.
    Silk after washing may be squeezed lightly by hand, (DO NOT WRING) to
    remove the excess water.

    ideal for silk.

    to bleed.
