Silk care

Silk is more robust than its reputation suggests – with a few simple rules it stays beautiful for years.

Washing

• Hand wash in lukewarm water (max. 30 °C) or on a delicate cycle for silk/wool.
• Mild silk detergent – no bleach, no fabric softener, no enzyme detergents.
• Wash in a laundry bag and with similar colours. Close the zipper.
• Don't soak, don't wring.

Drying

• No tumble dryer.
• Dry flat or hanging in the shade – direct sun bleaches silk.

Ironing

• If needed: on the lowest setting (silk), inside out, slightly damp.
• A steam iron held at a distance also works well.

Storage

• Dry and dark, ideally in the silk pouch.
• Don't seal in plastic – silk wants to breathe.

Tip: two pillowcases in rotation extend the life of both – and you always have a fresh one.
