Use a mild detergent: Use a mild detergent that is specifically designed for silk or a mild, non-toxic laundry detergent. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach as they can damage the silk fibers.
Wash on a gentle cycle: Hand-wash your silk accessories and pillowcases or wash on a gentle cycle using cool water. Avoid hot water as it can shrink or damage the silk.
Air dry: Avoid using a dryer to dry your silk accessories. Instead, air-dry them by laying them flat or hanging on the clothesline. Avoid direct sunlight as it can cause the silk to fade.
Ironing: If your pillowcase or headband needs ironing, use a cool iron and iron your pillowcase on the reverse side.
Avoid perfumes and oil: Avoid using perfumes or oils on your silk pillowcase as they can stain or damage the fabric.
Store it properly: When not in use, store your silk accessories in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.
Check the care label: Always check the care label on your silk accessories for specific cleaning instructions.
Clean it regularly: Clean your silk pillowcase at least once a week to maintain the quality of the silk.
By following these tips, you can help prolong the life of your silk accessories and ensure that they stay in good condition for a long time.
