While your piece is dry-clean only, it does not need to be dry cleaned with each wear.
For in-between dry cleaning, simply lay your garment flat and allow it to breathe for 24 hours before returning to storage.
Makeup and other marks clean easily from both silk and silk/wool. To spot clean, first test your chosen spot cleaner in a discreet area (for the outer fabric, the turned up hem on the inside is a great spot). Once you've confirmed it's safe to use you can then use it to clean any marks or stains using the following method:
- Spray the spot cleaner onto a microfibre cloth and then dab it onto the area of treatment.
- Let sit for 2-5 minutes
- Dampen a dry area of the microfibre cloth and lightly dab the area of treatment until the spot disappears (repeat these steps if necessary)
- Water can 'stain' silk, if you notice any darkened areas simply take a clean, very lightly damp microfibre cloth and buff out the water lines. Repeat 1-2 times until the water stains are gone.
Store flat in a cool, dry place. Let your dry cleaner know of the spiral steel boning within the garment to ensure proper care.
