How to Care for Special Fabrics (Silk, Wool, and More)
23rd April 2025
Delicate fabrics like silk, wool, and lace need special care, and at Laundry Loft, we know just how to handle them. If you prefer to do it yourself, follow these tips: Use cold water for silk and gentle detergent. For wool, avoid hot water to prevent shrinking, and lay it flat to dry.
If you're ever in doubt, bring your items to Laundry Loft on S. Second St.—our team will take care of them with the right techniques. It’s no wonder locals search for us under “laundromat Williamsburg” when they need expert care for their most delicate garments.
