Silk Care Guide
Silk Care Guide
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.
- Machine-washable in lukewarm water (30°C) on the most gentle cycle available.
- Minimize spin time.- Hang dry if possible, avoiding excessive exposure to direct sunlight.
- Tumble dry on a cool setting if using drying machine. Avoid drying for extended period of time.
- Iron when slightly damp using a cool setting. Always iron on the inside
- Use neutral or special detergent for silk.
- Keep out of touch of pets/sharp objects.
Benefits of Silk Pillowcases
Benefits of Silk Pillowcases
Silk pillowcases offer numerous benefits for both your skin and hair. Here are some of the key advantages:
- Reduces Friction on Hair
Silk pillowcases create less friction compared to cotton, which helps prevent hair breakage, split ends, and frizz. They are especially beneficial for people with curly or fine hair. - Prevents Wrinkles
Silk's smooth surface causes less tugging and pulling on the skin while you sleep, helping to reduce the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. It’s a natural anti-aging solution! - Keeps Skin Hydrated
Unlike cotton, which absorbs moisture from the skin, silk helps to retain your skin’s natural oils, ensuring you wake up with soft and hydrated skin. - Hypoallergenic and Gentle
Silk is naturally hypoallergenic, making it ideal for people with sensitive skin. It’s also resistant to dust mites and other allergens. - Temperature Regulation
Silk has natural temperature-regulating properties, helping to keep you cool in the summer and warm in the winter, providing a comfortable sleep environment year-round.

Silk Pillowcase Benefits
-
Helps with sleep
Silk pillowcases promote better sleep thanks to their softness, breathability, and natural temperature regulation. The smooth, gentle texture reduces skin friction, while silk’s breathable fibers keep you cool in warm weather and warm in colder temperatures, helping you maintain a comfortable sleep environment.
-
Effectively reduces frizz
The smooth texture of silk pillowcases helps effectively reduce hair frizz. Silk’s natural softness minimizes friction, keeping hair smoother and less prone to breakage and frizz. Studies have shown that silk pillowcases can reduce friction by up to 43% compared to cotton, which helps maintain hair’s natural shine and health.
-
Natural skincare
Silk, being a natural protein fiber, offers inherent skincare benefits. Its protein structure is gentle on the skin, reducing friction and preventing dryness, which can help maintain a healthier and more youthful complexion.

Tips for choose the right silk pillowcase
Choose a silk pillowcase that suits your pillow
1. The zipper style pillowcase is suitable for pillows with all types of fillings.
2. The envelope style is ideal for fillings like down, down alternative, feather, cotton, wool, buckwheat, kapok, and microbeads.
If your pillow filling is memory foam or latex, it’s best to avoid an envelope-style silk pillowcase, as it may slip off during the night.
What is momme silk?
Momme (abbreviated as mm) is a unit of measurement used to describe the weight and quality of silk fabric. It is similar to thread count in cotton fabrics but is more specific to silk. A higher momme count indicates a denser, more durable silk fabric.
For silk pillowcases, the momme weight is critical because it affects comfort, durability, and skincare benefits. 19 Momme best for Budget-friendly yet luxurious options; 22 Momme is Premium-quality, highly durable and long-lasting. 25 Momme is Ultra-luxury silk, maximum durability and opulence but expensive.
How to identify real silk and fake silk?
-
The sheen is different
Genuine silk has a unique, soft sheen that shifts colors gently under different light angles, giving it a subtle iridescence. Unlike real silk, fake silk often has a brighter, more uniform shine that appears static and lacks the depth and complexity of real silk’s luster.
-
Identify Real Silk with the Burn Test
The burn test can identify real silk: real silk burns slowly, smells like burning hair, self-extinguishes, and leaves a crumbly ash. Synthetic fabrics burn quickly, emit a chemical odor, and leave a hard, melted bead.
FAQ
What type of silk is ideal for pillowcases?
Mulberry silk is the finest silk fabric for pillowcases. BlissSleeps pillowcases are made from 100% natural mulberry silk sourced from Jiangsu, China. We offer pillowcases in 19 momme, 22 momme, and 25 momme options to suit different preferences.
Are blisssleeps pillowcases made from natural silk?
Yes, BlissSleeps pillowcases are made from 100% natural Mulberry silk. They are crafted using reactive dyeing technology, ensuring zero chemical pollution and providing the highest quality care for your skin and hair.
What Momme count should I choose for a pillowcase?
Momme measures the density and weight of silk—the higher the momme, the better the quality and durability of the silk. On the market, silk pillowcases typically come in 19, 22, and 25 momme options:
- 19 momme: Affordable and beginner-friendly.
- 22 momme: More durable with excellent value for money, making it the most popular choice.
- 25 momme: The most luxurious and durable, with a higher price point.
Can silk pillowcases be washed?
Silk pillowcases are best cleaned by hand washing, as machine washing may damage the delicate silk fibers. Hand washing is the safest choice.
If you opt for machine washing, place the pillowcase in a laundry bag and select a gentle cycle to minimize damage to the silk.
When washing silk pillowcases, always use a mild detergent specifically designed for silk. Avoid alkaline detergents and bleach, as they can harm the silk fibers. Soak the pillowcase in lukewarm water (below 30°C), gently rub it without scrubbing or twisting, and rinse thoroughly. After washing, lay the pillowcase flat on a drying rack to air dry, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent UV damage to the silk's protein structure.
Does a silk pillowcase shrink when washed?
Silk is primarily composed of protein, and when it absorbs moisture, the fibers expand, causing the threads to become more twisted. This may lead to slight shrinkage after washing. However, silk fabric typically doesn’t shrink after just one wash.
BlissSleeps pillowcases undergo a pre-shrinking process, which means that as long as they are washed properly, noticeable shrinkage should not occur.
To reduce the possibility of shrinkage, we recommend using a gentle detergent and washing in lukewarm water. Avoid excessive twisting and exposure to direct sunlight. If you choose to machine wash, use the delicate cycle and ensure the silk fabric isn't twisted or stretched during the washing process.
Why shouldn't you dry a silk pillowcase in the sun?
Sun exposure can damage silk by fading its color and weakening its fibers. Always air dry silk pillowcases in a shaded, cool area to maintain their quality.
Can I soak my silk pillowcase?
It's not recommended to soak silk for extended periods. Soaking can damage the fabric. Simply hand wash or gently machine wash with a mild detergent.
How to iron a silk pillowcase?
To iron silk, use the lowest heat setting on your iron, or iron while the pillowcase is still slightly damp. Always iron on the reverse side to prevent shine.
What type of pillowcase is best for hair?
Silk pillowcases are beneficial for your hair as they reduce friction, keep your hair smooth, and help improve hair loss. The smooth texture of silk creates less friction, making it especially suitable for fine, frizzy hair. It also reduces hair tugging during sleep, helping to maintain smoothness.
In contrast, pure cotton pillowcases also have their advantages, such as being comfortable, breathable, and moisture-absorbent. However, they tend to have poor elasticity, wrinkle easily, shrink, and can develop mildew. Cotton pillowcases are more affordable and ideal for everyday use.
When choosing a pillowcase, you can weigh your needs and budget. While silk pillowcases are more expensive, they offer significant beauty benefits and comfort. They help prevent hair tangling and improve sleep quality.
Why is a silk pillowcase good for the skin?
Silk pillowcases are naturally hypoallergenic and gentle on the skin, reducing wrinkles and irritation while helping to retain moisture, making them great for sensitive or aging skin.
