How to Care for Your Silk: Keep It Beautiful for Years

Silk, one of the most luxurious and elegant fabrics in existence, has been cherished by people for centuries. Its beauty and softness make it a favorite for bedding and clothing, but maintaining its strength and quality requires proper care. With the right washing and storage techniques, your silk bedding can last for over 10 years. Following care instructions is key to preserving its softness and smoothness, so make sure to be aware of the proper care methods to avoid any disappointment.

Caring for Silk Pillowcases, Duvet Covers, Sheets, and Silk Wear:

  • Machine wash at a maximum of 30°C
  • Use the wool or silk wash cycle on your washing machine
  • Always choose a silk or wool detergent
  • Separate dark or bright colors from your silk bed linen when washing
  • We recommend using a washing bag for delicate silk wear
  • Handwash smaller silk items like facemasks and eyemasks
  • Air dry your silk items—never use a tumble dryer
  • You can iron silk on the lowest setting of your iron
  • Avoid chemicals, bleach, or leaving fruit juices on silk, as they can damage the fabric

For Silk-Filled Duvets and Pillows:

  • Do not wash silk-filled duvets and pillows, as silk fibers are naturally self-cleaning
  • Always use a pillowcase and duvet cover to protect your silk bedding
  • Air your duvet regularly in the sunshine to keep it fresh
  • Be cautious of claims that silk duvets or pillows are machine washable—this often indicates they have been treated with chemicals or blended with synthetic materials

By following these guidelines, you can enjoy the luxurious feel of your silk items for many years to come!
