How to clean chiffon bridesmaid dresses?
Step 1: Soaking
Use HT Oxidizer to thoroughly soak satin, such as wine, coffee, ink, grass, dirt, grease, or oil. Focus on sensitive areas such as underarms, necklines, and cuffs. To remove odor, soak the item for 30 minutes in cold water mixed with 1/4 cup of scented vinegar.
Step 2: Hand wash or machine wash
Wash your hands:
Hand washing is always the best and safest method for washing chiffon.
If you choose to handwash your clothes, use only cold water. Use a mild soap and agitate the water gently. Don't rub fabrics together. This causes wear and tear and can deepen stains.
Remember to check for stains. These can be difficult to remove, especially if they remain in the fabric for too long.
Washing machine:
Turn the dress inside out to prevent fading and place it in a mesh laundry bag.
Select the delicate cycle on your washing machine and make sure the water temperature is cold and the spin speed is low.
Add the appropriate amount of laundry detergent based on your machine and load size.
Step 3: Drying
Dry on a clothesline or hang to dry. Don't tumble dry! Steaming is the best and safest way to remove wrinkles. You can use an iron to heat the garment if you don't have a steamer.
Step 4: Archiving
Chiffon dresses can be hung on a hanger; however, be careful with clips as they can leave marks on the material.
It is recommended to store it in a breathable cotton hanging bag to protect the items from insects.
Storing in plastic promotes yellowing and can trap moisture that causes mold, a prime breeding ground for insects.
All techniques are based on textile science. Not all garments behave and react as science predicts.
