What is how to wash silk pillowcase?

Here's how to wash your silk pillowcase:

Washing:

  • Hand Washing (Recommended): The gentlest method, prolonging the life of your pillowcase. Use cool or lukewarm water and a delicate detergent specifically formulated for silk or delicates. Gently agitate the pillowcase in the water, avoiding harsh rubbing or twisting. Rinse thoroughly with cool water until all detergent is removed.

  • Machine Washing (If Necessary): If you choose to machine wash, use a mesh laundry bag to protect the pillowcase. Select the delicate or hand-wash cycle with cool water. Again, use a silk-friendly detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as they can damage the silk fibers.

Drying:

  • Air Drying: The best way to dry a silk pillowcase. Gently roll the pillowcase in a clean towel to remove excess water. Then, lay it flat on a clean, dry surface or hang it away from direct sunlight. Avoid using a clothes dryer, as the high heat can damage the silk.

  • Avoid Direct Sunlight: Direct sunlight can fade the color and weaken the silk fibers.

Ironing (Optional):

  • If desired, iron your silk pillowcase on a low setting while it is still slightly damp. Use a pressing cloth between the iron and the silk to prevent scorching.
