I have about ten different pieces of silk clothes, five dresses, two shirts, some underwear and a skirt.

I wash them all at 30 degrees in the washing machine and tumble dry them on a low heat.

I wear the dresses every week for work and so far they are fine, they were all marked dry clean only, but the cleaners refused to do the dresses as they are print and they were worried about color damage.
