Mulberry silk is not sunshine tolerant, so you should expose the clothes in the air and inside out. Iron it in middle temperature when the clothes is dry at 80%, so as to keep the clothes luster and durative. Don’t spray water on the clothes when ironing and don’t iron directly on the outer side of clothes to avoid water stains.
