If you have pieces that are very pricey, take them to dry cleaning services. You will get care tags from the garment. If you wish to save some money, hand wash your silk clothes in cold water. Make sure you use delicate detergents when cleaning them. If the care label of your cocktail dresses online advises machine wash then remember to use a cleaning net. Set your washing machine to a cold-water cycle that is gentle to your garment.

You can use a steamer to get rid of any unwanted crease. Steamers are safe and gentle on your delicate numbers.
