A silk garment may not always need washing; airing can help refresh it for the next time you wear it. Dirt weakens fibers and can leave permanent marks, so it’s best to wash a stained garment as soon as possible.
Silk is a light and resilient natural fiber that repeats colors beautifully. It’s essential that your silk garment is loose enough to prevent seams from fraying.

The proper washing method can be checked from the care label attached to the product. For silk garments that can be washed, Marimekko recommends hand washing.
Before washing, turn the garment inside out. Wash your silk garment separately in plenty of cool water. Do not rub or wring the product during washing. Use a detergent that’s made for silk.
