Directions of use

Washing

Your silk pillowcase can be machine-washed or hand-washed in cool-warm water (less than 30ºC or 86ºF) inside out. We recommend using a delicates bag for extra protection in the washing machine. If using a washing machine, switch it to the delicate cycle and ensure you use a pH neutral delicate detergent without enzymes.  The enzymes in standard washing detergents attack proteins on fabric during washing to dislodge it.  Silk fibre is made from protein so these enzymes attack the silk structure and quickly damage the fabric, reducing the life, sheen, suppleness and softness in short order.  When coupled with a delicate detergent designed for silk/wool, your silk pillow case will provide the ultimate in comfort for many many years as beautiful as the day you bought it.

Drying
Our 100% Mulberry Silk pillowcase with cotton underside dries remarkably quickly on the line. Upon removing your silk from washing, do not wring, gently squeeze some of the excess water.

Lay some clean cotton towels on the floor and place your pillowcase on top and gently roll in a log-like fashion, so the silk is inside a roll of cotton. Gently squeeze, do not wring.  Unravel, reposition the silk and repeat before hanging your pillowcase to dry outside in the shade or inside out of direct sunlight.

Creases from drying will relax after a few days use. If you want a freshly ironed look, it’s best to iron inside out on a cool setting while still slightly damp (not completely dry).

This will relax the creases and enhance the lustre. Alternatively, you can use steamer with the silk attachment.

Dry Cleaning
Always an option, but not necessary.
