How to care for and preserve silk foulards: practical tips
Proper storage to maintain the beauty of silk foulards
Keeping the foulard dry and protected
Silk foulards require a dry and protected environment to preserve their beauty and structure. It is essential to avoid exposure to moisture and direct sunlight, which can cause fading or damage.
Storing silk foulards in a drawer, cupboard or a specific foulard box is the best way to ensure that they remain protected. This type of storage not only prevents moisture, but also protects the foulard from dust and other external agents that could damage the delicate fabric.
In addition, the use of fabric liners inside drawers or boxes can offer additional protection, absorbing any traces of moisture and keeping the foulard in optimal condition.
Fold or roll the foulard with care
Care when folding or rolling your silk foulard is essential to maintain its shape and prevent unwanted creases.
Folding it too tightly can leave marks that are difficult to remove and compromise the appearance of the foulard and the texture of the delicate silk fabric.
A recommended technique is to fold it gently in half or in thirds, and then roll it gently from bottom to top.
This method keeps the silk smooth and crease-free.
Another option is to hang it on a specific foulard hook or on a fabric-covered hanger, which allows the foulard to be stored without creases, ready to be worn on any occasion.
These storage methods help keep the foulard in perfect condition, preserving its beauty and elegance over time.

Using the right materials to store silk foulards
Choosing the right materials
When storing your silk foulards, it is essential to select the right materials to avoid damage to the delicate fabric.
Using plastic containers or wrapping can retain moisture, putting the silk at risk. Instead, opt for materials that allow the fabric to breathe, such as fabric covers or paper bags.
These materials ensure adequate air circulation and protect the foulard from moisture and other factors that can cause damage, such as dust or direct exposure to light.

Cleaning silk foulards
Gentle hand washing
Silk requires special care when washing.
It is advisable to wash silk foulards by hand in cold water, using a detergent specifically for silk or a neutral soap.
When washing, handle the fabric with care, avoiding vigorous rubbing or twisting, to preserve its structure and colour.
Natural drying
After washing, it is important to dry the foulard properly.
Wrap it in a dry towel to gently remove excess moisture and then lay it on a flat surface away from direct sunlight. This drying method prevents creases and keeps the silk smooth and shiny.
Ironing at low temperatures
If the foulard needs to be ironed, it is essential to do so at low temperatures suitable for silk.
Use a steam iron and, for extra protection, place a cotton cloth between the iron and the foulard. This step prevents direct contact with the heat and helps keep the fabric in optimal condition.
Gently ironing the foulard ensures that it retains its shape and beauty without risking damage caused by excessive heat.
