To preserve its softness and shine, spot clean or hand wash in cold water using a mild silk-safe detergent, then gently press out excess water with a towel rather than wringing or twisting. Allow it to air dry away from direct sunlight, and if needed, lightly steam or iron on low heat with a protective cloth. Store it flat or loosely rolled to maintain its shape, and avoid contact with perfume, oils, or abrasive surfaces. Treated with care, it will remain beautifully smooth, lustrous, and timeless.
