In this article, we’re going to explain the way to wash your winter scarf. So you can wash your winter scarf properly and use it for several years.  Scarves are gorgeous and lovely. But if you’re fashionable, you know that you should pay a high price if you want to have a great scarf. Washing the scarves at home isn’t an easy task. A small mistake may ruin your scarf! So, we decided to explain the way and method of washing winter scarves in this article. Then you can pass them easily and use them for several years. 

Washing scarf

Never use a bath or regular laundry soap to wash your winter scarf. The ingredients of these soaps damage the texture of scarves. Instead, use mild detergents, such as wool cleaner. Don’t throw your winter scarf in the washing machine at all (even with a gentle cycle)! Excessive turbulence can damage the fibres. You can also wash your scarf with cold water by hand.

Drying scarf

If the scarf’s texture is very delicate, dry it as much as you can with two dry towels. First, you have to put your scarf in the air to dry quickly and thoroughly. Never place them in the automatic dryer, even at low temperatures or hang them near heaters and in the sun, as it will cause the scarf’s colour to fade. Quick-drying a silk scarf in front of an electric fan makes it shiny doesn’t wrinkle or leave water stains on it.

Ironing winter scarves

If your scarves are made of silk, they should be slightly damp when ironing. Place your scarf on the ironing board from behind. Put a clean white cloth on it. Then iron it gently and at a medium temperature.

Don’t push the scarves too much or wrinkle!

If you see stains on the scarf, such as cosmetics or oil, clean them before washing. Apply a small amount of mild detergent directly to the stain. Then rub it with your fingers so that the detergent absorbs the fabric texture. Do this at least 15 minutes before you start hand washing.

If the winter scarves are no longer shiny!

In a large sink, add a quarter cup of distilled white vinegar to a gallon of water. Stir the liquid well. Put the scarf in it until it’s completely wet. After removing it from the water and vinegar solution, rinse it several times in clean water. But never squeeze it! Place the scarf on a clean white towel to absorb excess moisture. Repeat with clean towels until most of the excess water has been fascinated by the scarf. Then hang it on a hanger. Remember not to use iron or wooden hangers, as it will cause rust and dirt stains on the scarf. Never turn it in the sun or direct heat. Because it can damage the texture of the scarf.

Tips for maintaining the elemental beauty of winter scarves

• Before wearing the scarves, complete your makeup, apply cream, perfume, and let it dry completely.
• Always keep your scarf in a dry place. Make sure the scarves are perfectly clean. Use lavender to repel insects that feed on clothing tissue. These insects attack and destroy the delicate texture of scarves.
• Place non-acidic paper between your scarves. This method prevents the tissue from wrinkling and degenerating.

 With the onset of winter, winter accessories such as scarves and knitted hats also flourish. These accessories, like any other clothing and accessories, become dirty and need to be washed. Washing scarves, hats, and knitwear require special care.
