Guidelines for Washing and Maintaining Mulberry Silk Cheongsam

Washing Instructions

  • A specialized detergent or mild acidic detergent is recommended.
  • Mulberry silk cheongsams must not be machine-washed. They should be hand-washed gently in cold water, avoiding vigorous scrubbing or prolonged soaking.
  • After washing, do not wring or spin-dry the cheongsam. Hang it inside out to air-dry in the shade, avoiding direct sunlight or exposure to harsh sun.

Tips

  • Avoid contact with sharp objects during daily wear to prevent snagging caused by nails or scratches.
  • Wash garments of different colors separately to avoid dye transfer.

Maintenance Methods

  • If the cheongsam becomes wrinkled, use low-temperature ironing (avoid high heat).
  • After washing, soak the cheongsam in clean water with a few drops of white vinegar for 5 minutes to enhance color fastness and maintain vibrant hues.
  • Store silk cheongsams on wide-shouldered hangers in a dry, well-ventilated closet.
