Silk is a delicate and luxurious fabric, requiring special care to maintain its beauty and longevity. Here’s how to properly care for your silk items, such as pillowcases, clothing, and accessories:

1. Washing
Hand Wash: Use lukewarm water (30°C or 85°F) and a mild silk-specific detergent. Gently swish the item through the water, avoid scrubbing or wringing.
Machine Wash: Use the delicate cycle and place your silk items inside a mesh bag to prevent damage. Always wash with cold water and mild detergent.
Avoid Bleach: Never use bleach or harsh chemicals as it will damage the silk fibers.

2. Drying
Air Dry: After washing, gently press out excess water using a towel and air dry your silk items in a shaded area. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can fade the color and weaken the fibers.
Avoid Tumble Drying: Never tumble dry silk as it can shrink or damage the fibers.

3. Ironing
Low Heat: If ironing is necessary, use the lowest heat setting and iron while the silk is still slightly damp, or place a cloth between the silk and the iron to avoid direct heat contact.

4. Storage
Store in a Cool, Dry Place: Avoid storing silk in damp or humid environments, as it can promote mildew and deterioration.
Use a Silk Bag: For storage, use a breathable cotton or silk bag to protect the fabric from dust and light.
Avoid Direct Sunlight: Keep silk items out of direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent fading.
By following these simple steps, you can ensure your silk products remain luxurious and last for years.
