How is Washing a silk dress by hand better?

Washing a silk dress by hand is probably the safest way to wash a silk dress, and the steps are easy to follow.

2. Add a few drops of mild detergent and use your hand to mix it into the solution. Let the item soak for at least 3 minutes.
3. Using your hands, plunge the garment up and down to remove dirt.
4. Rinse the silk dress under cold water until all the soap has been washed out.
5. Soak up the moisture using a towel. Never rub or agitate your silk dress.
