NOTE ON SILK:
While silk can be washed using a proper silk detergent, it bleeds easily and may stain other things in the wash. Test for color bleeding by dipping an inconspicuous portion of the item in lukewarm water. If dye leaks into the water, washing will cause bleeding. If anything bleeds during the test, take it to the dry cleaners. Wash it alone if it's a solid color.
Step 1- Even though the labeling says dry cleaning only, most silks may be hand cleaned. Fill a big basin or bowl with lukewarm or cold water to immerse the clothing.
Step 2- Add a few drops of mild detergent to the water basin. To preserve the silk's delicate threads, choose a natural or extra mild brand. Then stir the soap into the water with your hand.
Step 3- Place the clothes in the water basin and submerge them once. Then soak the garment for 3 minutes to allow the soap to mix with it.
Step 4- Gently swish the clothing in the water to wash away any dirt or stickiness. This action is similar to a washing machine but considerably gentler.
Step 5- Remove the garment from the water and drain it. Then rinse the silk clothing with cold water to remove any soap.
Step 6- To begin the drying process, spread a clean towel gently on a table or surface. Place the silk item on top of the towel and roll it from end to end. Once the towel is completely wrapped up, unfold it and remove the silk garment.
Step 7- Hang the garment to dry, away from direct sunshine, which may fade or damage the silk fibers.
Conclusion
Silk is a fabric produced by moth caterpillars. Silk is a fragile fabric that needs particular cleaning care. Manufacturers frequently advise owners to dry clean silk clothing. There are many types of silk and each has its own care requirements. Silk may be spot cleaned with natural cleaning detergents and hand wash with soap and water with care.

It’s especially important to wash clothing that you will wear
when sweating, cautions Hogue:
“If you’re going to wear it out and in the heat and sweat in it,
you should launder it before wearing it. “
Another suggestion is that you "wash separately before wearing".
Clothing that are dark or bright some of the dyes could
run off on other clothes or even on your skin.
Washing these items once before you wear
them will get rid of the excess dye.
