How do I wash silk?

Silk bedding can be washed at 30° gentle wash and with enzyme-free detergent, the bedding should also be washed alone. It is a fine and light bedding set, and therefore cannot be tumble-dried, but must be air-dried. Remember to always turn it inside out and close the zipper to maintain it as best as possible.

Silk is a gentle material, so care must be taken when washing and handling it. In this post, we'll cover how to keep your silk pillowcase looking good.

TIP: Always turn the bedding or pillowcase inside out and close the zipper. In this way you protect the smooth surface of the silk. Feel free to use a laundry bag intended for silk.

Hand washing:

If you wash silk by hand, we recommend that you rinse it thoroughly and gently pat it dry. After that, it is recommended that you let it hang freely and dry. Avoid leaving silk to soak, as there is a risk of stains, color bleeding and contamination.

Washing machine:

If you use a washing machine, wash at low temperatures and use a delicate wash program. Please wash without a detergent. Alternatively, you can use a detergent that is intended for delicate silk washing.

Stains:

Do not rub stains away, as "dusty" areas easily appear on the silk. Oil or grease stains on silk can often be so difficult to remove that it is better to send it to the cleaners.

Stains can be pre-treated before washing with a little concentrated liquid detergent or hand washing-up liquid. For some colored silk fabrics there is a risk of shielding. Wait for about 10 minutes before washing your silk clothes.

We recommend Tenestar detergent. Can be purchased here.
