How to

1. Pour cold water into a basin.

2. Add one tablespoon of vinegar per liter of cold water.

3. Soak your silk garment in the vinegar water for 5 min.

5. Rinse the garment in cold water.

6. Then wash it as usual, taking all the necessary precautions.

Result

There you go, your silk or cashmere garment has regained all its flamboyant colors :-)

Simple, practical and effective, isn't it?

The colors are as vibrant as the first day you bought it! It's still prettier like that, isn't it?

And you don't even need to buy Scarlet Water or Mir to revive the colors! It's much more economical that way.

In addition, this trick works for all silk clothes:dresses, blouses, Hermès scarves...

Bonus tip

Has your white silk dress turned yellow? Do not use bleach to whiten it. Instead, rinse your garment in water with a few tablespoons of the vinegar added.

Why does it work?

Vinegar is a product with an acid pH. It is the acidity of the vinegar that brings colors back to life.

White vinegar removes all the residue that dulls the colors so that they regain their original shine.

And this, without damaging the fragile fibers of silk or cashmere!

Precaution

Silk is a very fragile and delicate fabric. So start by testing on a small, inconspicuous corner of the fabric.

Anyway, few products that are less aggressive than vinegar water for silk.
