Tackle-It Tuesday: Washing Scarves

Once Upon a Time...

     So I went to Goodwill the other day (I LOVE Goodwill, by the way!), and I bought a bunch of these scarves!! Buttttt, because they're from Goodwill, they need to be washed (just in case)!! Buttttt I didn't know how to wash scarves, especially the silky-ish ones, so I Googled it and this is what I found:



"How to hand wash your scarf in nine easy steps:

Step 1

1. Fill a sink or large bowl with cool water
2. Add a small amount of mild detergent to the water and create suds.
3. Submerge your scarf fully in the water. Knead and squeeze it through the suds until it’s totally wet.
4. Let the scarf sit in the water for around 15 minutes.
5. Drain or pour out the water.
6. Rinse your scarf by holding it under cool tap water. Squeeze and run it under the faucet until the water runs clear through the scarf and there are no suds left.
7. Squeeze water out of your scarf – be gentle! Don’t wring the fabric too hard.
8. Lay your scarf on a towel and roll the towel; this will eliminate a good amount of dampness so it can dry.



Step 3

9. Unroll the towel and lay your scarf on a dry towel to completely dry. Never hang a scarf to dry – this could damage its fibers!" (Found on Scarves Dot Net)

Wear your scarves proudly! :)



And They All Lived Happily Ever After...
