HOW DO I CARE FOR MY SILK SCARF?

For to preserve the beauty of your Silk scarf You should avoid contact with rain and harsh chemicals, and we recommend that you leave it to a specialized professional for cleaning.

If you wish to hand wash, please follow this guide:

  • Fill your sink with lukewarm water (approx. 30 °), and add a special detergent suitable for Silk.
  • Lay your Scarf in the sink, gently swirl it around in the soapy water until it is completely soaked.
  • Do not twist or rub the silk, but let it soak for a while if there are visible stains.
  • Pour out the soapy water, and pour in some new, fresh, cold water, and gently swirl your Scarf around to loosen dirt and soap residue. Repeat until the water runs clear.
  • To dry the silk scarf flat on a clean towel, press down and roll the towel to gently squeeze out excess water. Do not tumble dry.
  • Always iron on the lowest heat, and when the scarf is still damp. Do not use spot steaming, as this can cause permanent stains.

Store your Scarf neatly folded in the box that came with it. Note that jewelry and other accessories risk pulling threads out or otherwise damaging the Scarf's somewhat delicate fabric. Silk exposed to direct sunlight for an extended period will damage the fibers. 

 

HOW DO I CARE FOR MY WOOL SCARF?

Woolen scarves and hats are wonderful in the cold winter months or cool summer evenings, to keep you warm and still look great. Although it is a strong, natural material, it is important that you treat it correctly to keep it good for many years. We recommend that you send it to a specialized, professional dry cleaner to keep your Bella Ballou Scarf looking beautiful and fresh year after year. If you wish to hand wash, you should follow this guide:
  • Fill your sink with lukewarm water (approx. 30 °), and add a special detergent suitable for Wool
  • Lace your wool scarf in and swirl it gently around in the soapy water until it is completely soaked
  • Don't twist or rub the wool, but let it soak for a while if there are visible stains
  • Pour out the soapy water, and pour in a little new, fresh, cold water, and gently swirl your Scarf/hat around to loosen dirt and soap. Repeat until the water runs clear.
  • To dry, lay it flat on a clean towel, then press and roll the towel to gently squeeze out excess water. While it is still damp, carefully reshape the wool to the correct form. You can let it dry completely on a clothesline. Do not tumble dry. 
Air dry your Wool scarf or hat: Since Wool is naturally antibacterial due to its lanolin content, it has self-cleaning properties. Often, airing Wool is enough. Just shake it and hang it outside to clean itself and freshen up. Do not expose to direct sunlight for an extended period, as this will damage the fibers.
