Thanks for a great video! Good to hear that I'm not the only one washing silk with hair shampoo! I also wash wool with hair shampoo, and it works great. Instead of fabric softener, I usually use hair conditioner. Also works great. I just tried it years ago, since it just made sense to me to use a product meant for hair on animal hair fibers fabric, and ever since I have not wasted my money on expensive wool/silk detergents.I just buy a cheap generic brand that is of good quality, nothing fancy.

Thank you!
Great tip on the color threated hair shampoo for washing.

I have a bleeding dark navy silk shantung that I got for a suit, but the color seams to stick to my hands as I touch it...I'm afraid it's going to color all my other clothes and my skin when wearing it...

Do you have any tips on how to get some of that paint out of the silk?
