How to Take Care of your Silk

It is recommended to wash the silk with hands in 30-40 ºC temperature water or use the washing machine with a particular program for washing wool/silk, using liquid detergents for soft fabrics without bleach. It is recommended to freshen the silk more often instead of washing because it has the quality of cleaning itself when reacting with oxygen.

After washing the pillow cover with hands, gently wring it out. Be very careful because wet silk loses its strength. Once you remove the excess water, it is recommended to place the pillowcase on the dry surface (between towels in a horizontal position) and absorb the remaining moisture. If you are using a washing machine, select the lowest speed when spinning.

Silk should not be placed in the dryer, on the radiator, in direct sun, or near other heating devices. Exposure to the sun weakens the silk fiber (keeping silk in the sun for 10 days loses about 30 percent of its strength).
