I once bought lovely silk bed sheets for my bedroom. I knew that they needed a dry cleaning job once a week. I used to do this religiously for the first two or three months. But it became difficult to find time for taking the sheets to the laundry every week as I was short of time.
A friend gave me this valuable tip for washing silk sheets at home. Use a mild detergent suitable for delicate fabrics and add a little lemon juice to the rinse. Your sheets will turn out shinier and wills also save on laundry costs and time.
