Has anyone used euclan? I have had great success with my CSGM but since I am no expert, what should I look out for in the ingredients list?:flowers:

I’ve used eucalan for my cashmere sweaters and it is excellent. Leaves them incredibly soft and springy...I would be more inclined to use it than The Laundress.It seems to be very easy on the fibres...however never used is on my silks. And if it is that Mud Silk, I would be very cautious, because of the unique treatment of the silk. If the stain is from oil maybe a light dusting of dry talc or dry baking soda left on for a few hours and then dusted off might pull some of the oil from the fabric...

Thank you Katriona for your experiences with euclan. I love it for washing woolens. I do think it’s hard to know what exact ingredients to watch out for when dealing with silks.

But I like your idea of using a dry powder to absorb excess oils. It is reassuring. I’m always nervous to try something on my scarves, I like hearing others experiences.:flowers:

I use Johnson’s baby shampoo on my cashmere and silk scarves. Just a little in cold water. Have had beautiful results.

That was my first choice, when washing a highly saturated scarf , (my very first, a gift) that was absolutely filthy, as I didn’t know how to wash it...it was before I knew anything about Hermes as a brand ...this was the 80’s and I was a university student and appalled by the price..) many years ago! I used lukewarm water and Johnson’s and it came out glowing! My respect for the brand increased exponentially that day...I still have that beauty, my late brother gave it to me. It’s the one scarf I would never part with.

Ladies, I just want to tell you I washed my CS 140 Peuple du Vent sucessfully by hand.
Everything went well, absolutely no colour transfer!
I used cold water, a silk and wool shampoo ( Sonett, a lokal brand), and white towels.
Afterwards, the water in the bucket had the slightest hint of blue.
Thank you very much for educating me how to do this properly!

Ladies please help! I purchased a wonderful colorful 100% silk scarf this weekend, and the first day of wearing it the wind blew it into my face and now there is a lipstick mark all over it :(. I'm reading here that drycleaners may ruin the hem, and since the scarf is so colorful, I'm afraid that colors may fade in dry clean. How likely it is that the colors will bleed if I hand wash it? Would any of the recently produced scarfs have such issue?

I'm really devastated, this one is the most beautiful one I own... Any input is very welcomed!

Nooo don't worry it'll be fine :) Especially the recent scarves are very colorfast, I've hand washed at least 5-6 of mine (all bought within the past year) and no color bleed whatsoever. Make sure to use cold water and keep the scarf moving in the water (don't let it sit).

Hi,

Is your scarf cashmere and silk? I just got a cashmere and silk 140 and wondering how to clean it when the time comes. I have the Laundress wool and cashmere shampoo and wondering if I can use this. I have only used the shampoo for cashmere.
Thanks.
