An SA at an Hermes store told me whispering and under her breath that she simply throws her scarves in the washing machine in a lingerie bag on the delicate cycle and they wash up beautifully. I've never tried it--I would be so sad to lose the factory creases and not have them fold perfectly back up after use, but it's comforting to know that you can if the worst happens.

Wow! We wouldn’t risk that either but fascinating to know

I wash my silk scarves by hand in cold water Ph neutral hair shampoo. When I have stains then with Gall soap available from Amazon. Always very quickly out of the water because colors may run. This is particularly true with new Hermes silk scarves. I try not to rub and dry them flat. Have never washed silk cashmere shawls because I am afraid they may shrink or get out of shape. Overall I am very careful removing stains and if I need to do it use a Q tip swab before washing. Occasionally have washed scarves from the 80's in the machine in cold water, using a net and using quick program. What I always do is place a sheet of SHOUT color catcher in every wash !!

I have a Hermes scarf with what I think is a perspiration stain--it's irregular and faintly yellowish. I've hand washed it, but the stain is still there--does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions about how to remove it?

[@nearlynewcashmere]

What detergent did you wash it with? For stains we add a dab of diluted fairy liquid to the are and gently massage it, perfect for removing stains we find.

@@nearlynewcashmere thank you--I used a liquid hand soap but I'll give the Fairy a try.

@@nearlynewcashmerefairy liquid to the “are?” I assume a typo. I’m trying to figure out exactly what is in the plastic bottle with the green liquid? Other than a bit of the fairy liquid you sell? Is it dish soap?

[@nearlynewcashmere]

@@tamikanadjene yes sorry a type, it should say ‘area’ Fairy Liquid is a brand in the UK of dish washing liquid (we don’t sell this, we sell liquid detergent which is in the main bowl of water). Hope that makes sense!

[@sharigreenman1020]

@@nearlynewcashmereIs it like Dawn detergent that we use in the US?

[@ladyflimflam]

I’m surprised you are using a colored dishwashing liquid. I always keep a dye-free, fragrance-free dishwashing liquid for laundry stains. Maybe that sort of thing isn’t available in the UK?

[@nearlynewcashmere]

It works just fine, it is diluted and would never be left on long enough to pass on any colour!
