Double face satin ribbon is much more durable than single face satin ribbon. It is composed of two woven layers so it is also much thicker. Despite being more durable and thicker, it is more elegant and shiny. It is able to withstand heavier use. We highly recommend if you or your customers cannot hand wash items that you utilize high quality double face satin. We recommend hand washing anything made with satin. Satin is the same fabric bridal gowns are made from. You wouldn't put a bridal dress in the wash would you? You should not put any satin in the laundry or expose it to high heat Avoid washing the ribbon if possible. If the ribbon is visibly dirty or stained, try spot cleaning with a damp cloth or sponge and mild detergent. If the ribbon needs to be washed, hand wash it gently in lukewarm water with a mild detergent. Do not wring or twist the ribbon, as this can cause damage Gently press out excess water but do not wring or twist the ribbon. Hang the ribbon to dry or lay flat on a clean towel or piece of fabric Once the ribbon is dry press it with a warm iron if necessary being careful not to apply too much heat or pressure When storing the ribbon keep it in a cool dry place and avoid exposing it to light heat or moisture 25 Yard Roll 1.5 inch satin ribbon Double Face
