Washing & Finishing Steps

1. 1Sorting and lot matching: sort by style number, color number and dye lot difference, wash same batch and same dye lot together to avoid color bleeding and color difference.
2. 2Desizing and stain removal in clean water: warm water below 30℃ + neutral or weakly acidic detergent, gently remove floating fibers, oil stains and sizing; strictly avoid alkaline (spun silk loses luster and becomes brittle in alkali).
3. 3Softening finish: add hydrophilic softener to restore the smooth hand feel and natural luster of spun silk, avoid high-temperature long-time treatment.
4. 4Dewatering and setting: low-speed dewatering, strictly no wringing, pre-set the shape while wet to prevent high-count yarn from wrinkling and deforming.
5. 5Drying / drying in the shade: low-temperature drying or lay flat to dry in the shade to 80%, avoid high-temperature sunlight exposure causing yellowing, hardening or shrinkage.
6. 6Panel pressing: steam-press each garment panel once before sewing to remove curled edges and wrinkles; steam pressure should be low to avoid pressing out shine.
7. 7Garment pressing: after sewing is completed, steam-press the whole garment once on a dress form to set the shape, avoid directly pressing the yarn surface.
8. 8Re-pressing and fine finishing: press easily wrinkled parts such as neckline, placket, hem and cuffs once more as much as possible to ensure flatness.
9. 9Quality inspection and packaging: inspect size, color difference, pilling, snagging, stains and pressing effect; after passing, bag them, moisture-proof treatment is recommended.
