Our Care Guide

1. Hand Washing Is Best 
  •  Hand washing your silk is the best practice. Silk is a naturally delicate fabric and should be cleaned with care. We recommend always hand washing your silk pajamas, bedsheets or pillowcases in cool water - this will preserve the life of the garment and the saturation of its color. Never wash with hot water. 
2. Please use mild detergents. 
  • Soak the silk items and leave it to soak for 3-4 minutes. Do Not Use Bleaches. Do not scrub or brush the items. 
  • Take the silk item and gently plunge it up and down in the water to move the water through the fabric and wash out any dirt or residue. 

3. Rinse the silk items

  • Rinse the silk items under the clean water till it runs clear, and all the detergent soap suds have been washed out.
4. Hang your silks to air dry
  • Be sure you use soft hangers or padded hangers. Keep your silks away from direct heat and sunlight. Do Not Tumble Dry. Once dry, silk should be ironed using low heat or steamed to restore the sheen and softness to the fabric.  Avoid direct sunlight exposure. 

 

For those without the time, patience, or just physically unable to hand-wash silk, our products can withstand machine washing as well. Of course, there is more risk involved, and certain precautions must be taken to minimize them.

 

1. Check the fabric

  • Before you throw in the wash, check the fabric to see if it can be machine washed. Some silk items may lose color or get damaged if you use machine washing.

2. Sort the laundry

  • Wash different colors and fabric separately.

3. Please use mild detergents

Add the proper amount of neutral or special detergent for silk to the machine. 

4. Minimize spin time

  • Spinning can be very dangerous for silk fabric as the forces involved can shear weaker silk fibers. Normal wash. 

5. Take the item out of the machine

  • Do Not Tumble Dry. Rinse the silk items under the clean water till it runs clear, and all the detergent soap suds have been washed out.

6.  Hang your silks to air dry

  • Be sure you use soft hangers or padded hangers. Keep your silks away from direct heat and sunlight. Do Not Tumble Dry. Once dry, silk should be ironed using low heat or steamed to restore the sheen and softness to the fabric.  Avoid direct sunlight exposure.
