How do you wash a 100 percent silk shirt?

To wash a 100 percent silk shirt, it's best to hand wash it in cold water using a gentle detergent specifically designed for silk. Soak the shirt for about 5-10 minutes, gently agitating the water without rubbing or twisting the fabric. Rinse the shirt thoroughly in cold water, then lay it flat on a clean towel to absorb excess water before air drying away from direct sunlight. Avoid using a washing machine or dryer, as the agitation and heat can damage the silk.
