How to care for your cushion?
-
Clean with mild soap or special shampoo for silk.
-
Soak silk 3 to 5 minutes in lukewarm water.
-
While soaking, gently move back and forth. (no wringing)
-
As soon as silk is wet, be careful, for silk is more fragil when wet.
-
After handwashing for 5 min, rinse the fabric with cold water, whereafter adding a teaspoon of wine vinegar, to remove possible soap residue.
-
Roll the silk in a dry cloth to remove remaining water.
-
Roll silk out flat and pull the edges to make it straight.
-
If you find a loose thread, cut it with scissors. Do not pull.
