Silks And Rayons
|
|
|
Silk is a soft, elegant fiber, prized for its many unique qualities. Rayon was the first manmade fiber produced. It gives the look of silk at a fraction of the cost.

Both silk and rayon fibers dryclean very well. If the manufacturer has not tested for appropriate care instructions, however, certain dyes or finishes applied to the fibers may react adversely to drycleaning. Washing may damage garments containing sizing and/or dyes that are sensitive to water. It is important that you follow the care label on the garment.

Household substances also can affect dyes. Be careful not to expose fabrics to alkaline toiletries, such as toothpaste, hair spray, perfume, or deodorant, which contain alcohol. The acidity of lemon juice affects some dyes. Bleach, one of the most common causes of color loss and fabric damage, should be used with extreme care.

|
Perspiration contains salts that can damage fabric, especially silk. This can cause the fabric to change color and may disintegrate and weaken silk.
