Silk, Rayon and Linen Fabric Processing

Silk is a natural fiber coming from the cocoon spun by the silkworm. The feel of silk is luxurious, but is a very fragile fabric. The weave of silk varies from sheer to a heavy textured weave. Silk is wrinkle resistant and very comfortable to wear because it is quite absorbent.
The safest way to clean silk is by dry cleaning. Washing can be an option for some garments but may cause extreme color loss and wrinkling. Perspiration, perfume and sun fading are a few problems that the consumer faces. Never wipe a stain or rinse with water for this could cause permanent damage to the garment. Silk requires extra care to help retain its full beauty.
The staff at Friendly Cleaners can return a silk garment to a like-new appearance, with a procedure called "mineral bath". There is a degree of color loss in all silk so be sure to clean all pieces of an outfit to maintain unity. When taking a silk garment to the drycleaner, be sure to:

• Take the stained garment in immediately.

• Identify the stain for easier removal.

• Point out the sugar stains, such as soda, which yellow with age if not removed.

• Note that chlorides in perspiration and foods can cause permanent damage.

• Point out chafed areas so we can use the "mineral bath" procedure.

Proper care will extend the life of your silk garment. At Friendly Cleaners, proper cleaning and stain removal techniques will save you money in the long run.

Rayon is a manmade fabric, with ever-growing popularity. There are various types of rayon, some even giving the appearance of silk. Rayon, and its reaction to water, makes it a consumer nightmare. Rain especially can cause dye migration and leave the resemblance of a spotted or blotchy garment. The sensitivity of dye and sizing in rayon prohibits home stain removal. Dry cleaning is the safest method of cleaning. Stained rayon should be dry cleaned as soon as possible. BE SURE to point out stains or water spots. Perspiration and beverage stains can be difficult to remove if the stain has been left on the fabric for any length of time. Stains will set with age or yellow depending on the type. Be sure to read the label. Any garment that says "Dry Clean Only" should be processed in that manner. Home pressing can also cause a shine that, in most cases, can not be rectified by the dry cleaner.

Friendly Cleaners, an experienced dry cleaner in silk and rayon processing, will return your garment to that "like new" condition.
