care instructions - silk/cotton blend

To prolong the life and quality of silk fabrics it its absolutely necessary to follow the guidelines in care and use. Silk is very sensitive to hot water and frequent washing with soap. Do never use bleaching agents which will have absoluetely devastating effects even on white or natural silk fabrics. Please observe the following instructions:
	Never spray perfume, deodorants or other scents on a silk fabric Never use bleaching agents Do not dry in the sun Do not spray water on the fabric while ironing Do not rub stains on silk fabrics. Do not wring out or spin-dry
Use little silk detergent for washing or, alternatively, a wool detergent. Wash your cotton-silk sling at 30° C max. and do not dry-spin it (make sure your machine has no intermediate spin-cycle). Wash your baby sling regularly, also in case of baby spit-up stains.. Add some vinegar to the rinse water. Iron the fabric as long as it is still damp and at low temperature. Switch off the steam function if you use a steam iron.
