Care instructions for silk pillowcases

Hand washing is the safest way to wash your pillowcase as it is a very delicate material.

Hand wash

• Warm water: Wash with warm water, avoiding rubbing or wringing the fabric.
• Gentle detergent: Use silk detergent or a mild, pH-neutral detergent. Avoid using fabric softener.
• Rinse: Rinse gently with lukewarm water.
• Follow the drying and ironing steps below.

Machine wash

• Turn your pillowcase inside out: Before washing it, turn your pillowcase inside out.
• Delicate program: Use a delicate or wool cycle at a maximum temperature of 30°C.
• Washing bag: Place your pillowcase in a laundry bag to avoid friction.
• Laundry: Choose a gentle detergent specially formulated for silk or delicate fabrics, without bleaching agents or dyes. Avoid using powder detergent or fabric softener, as these can damage silk.
• Follow the drying and ironing steps below

Drying

• Flat: Dry your pillowcase flat on a clean towel or hang without clothespins.
• Avoid heat: Do not use a tumble dryer, nor expose silk to direct sunlight or heat sources such as a radiator.

Ironing

• Low temperature: Iron at low temperature on the reverse side, without steam.
• Slightly damp: It is best to iron silk while it is still slightly damp to avoid creases.
