How to wash silk?

1. Preparation: Start by turning your silk bedding inside out and closing the zipper. A laundry bag is also recommended.
2. Separation: Keep your silk bedding separate from other textiles, especially those with sharp zippers or hard materials that can scratch the silk.
3. Temperature: Use cold water to wash silk bedding. Hot water can damage the fibers and cause shrinkage or loss of color. (30 degrees)
4. Mild detergent: Use a mild detergent designed for delicate fabrics. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals as they can damage the silk.
5. Hand wash or gentle cycle: You can either hand wash your silk bedding or use a gentle cycle in your washing machine. If you use a washing machine, choose a gentle cycle with a low spin speed to avoid stretching or damaging the fabric.
6. Rinsing: When hand washing - rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue. You can repeat the rinsing several times to make sure all soap is gone.
7. Drying: Avoid twisting or stretching silk bedding when drying. Instead, gently squeeze out excess water and then let it air dry on a flat surface or hang it on a hanger. Avoid direct sunlight as this can cause discoloration.
8. Ironing: If necessary, you can iron your silk bedding on low heat, preferably inside out to avoid direct contact with the heat.

With these steps, you can easily keep your silk bedding clean and in good condition!
