How to clean sequins, silk and feathers

When you choose a fine piece of clothing to add some glamor to your wardrobe, giving it as long a life span as possible is likely to be a top priority. A garment made from silk, sequins and feathers can require a little bit of extra care and maintenance as these delicate materials can become easily damaged if not cared for properly. Read this guide from NADINE MERABI to find out how to clean a sequin dress and how to clean feathers or silk clothes.

How to clean a sequin dress

When considering how to clean a sequin dress, it is important to be particularly careful. This is because you ideally want the sequins to stay glistening and not fade. By being rough with your sequined clothing, you can undo the threading that holds the sequins together. So follow these tips to keep your dress in top condition.

This tip goes for all of your delicate clothing, so it’s important to establish this first. The best place to start is to check what the care label recommends when washing and caring for your sequined clothing. This is useful to find out what specific temperature you can wash your dress at. There may also be a particular setting, usually the ’delicate’ or ‘gentle’ setting for fragile clothing, that it recommends you should wash your dress at.

Though it’s a bit of an inconvenience, choose to wash your sequin clothing by hand to ensure it is treated as delicately as possible. Use gentle washing powder and be sure to allow your clothing to soak for at least five minutes before carefully swishing it through the water.

When cleaning your silk dress, it is best to be as careful as possible with it as silk is particularly notable for its delicateness. Similar to a sequin dress, wash it by hand in a small tub with gentle detergent. This time, lightly agitate the dress in the water for around three to five minutes and rinse it well. Squeeze out any excess water with care as wringing out silk clothing can cause damage to the material.

How to clean feathers on clothing

Of all these delicate materials, you must treat your feather clothing with significant care as this tends to be the material that can become easily ruined if you aren’t careful. In a similar way to the other materials, hand wash your feather dress and under no circumstances scrub them as they will become damaged.

When drying out your clothing, a feather dress can sometimes be left to air dry though some types of feathers (such as ostrich feathers) benefit from being blow-dried on a low setting to give them longevity.

Hopefully, you’re now clued up on how to clean feathers on your clothes and as well as your other delicate pieces!
