Silk product care

Silk is an extremely delicate fabric, so take extra care to ensure that bedding or clothing remains shiny and soft for as long as possible.

 

We recommend hand washing silk – this is the safest and best method. Add detergent to the water and soak the silk item for about 5 minutes. Prolonged soaking can damage the protein fibers of the silk. Do not rub silk items; instead, gently massage the fabric to remove odors and stains. If using a washing machine, select a very gentle cycle with cool water and the lowest spin setting. Turn the item inside out and place it in a mesh bag to protect the silk fibers from damage.

 

Do not wash silk with other rough textiles, such as jeans or towels.

 

Use a mild detergent or a detergent specifically designed for silk.

If there are stains, remove them using a small amount of white vinegar.

Do not use alkaline detergents or soap.

 

Do not use bleach on silk. Improper detergents can damage silk fabrics.

 

After hand washing, do not twist or wring the item – use a towel to absorb excess water.

Do not tumble dry.

Do not leave to dry in direct sunlight.

 

You may iron at a low temperature.

 

Dry cleaning is allowed using any solvent except trichloroethylene.
