[QUOTE="clutteredcloset49, post: 2639945, member: 85"]Silk is an age old material. It has been washed for centuries. I see no reason not to hand wash, line dry and iron. Cover with a damp flour sack towel as you iron. The only reason I would not do this, is if the silk has been well worn and shows areas of damage. My other suggestion is one I often use for clothes that have wrinkles. Spritz wrinkled clothes with water, then use a hair dryer on the wrinkles. It will ease the wrinkle out. Not as crisp looking as ironing. Ironing is still the best.[/QUOTE]
