    Caring for Silk
    The following tips will help you keep your silk looking (and feeling!) the way you love. While it’s natural for silk’s sheen to soften over time, rest assured that the fabric still maintains its durability, and will provide years of superior sleep!

    General Wash Instructions:

    • Don't: use harsh detergents that contain bleach or brighteners.
    • Do: pick a detergent designed for delicate fabrics such as Woolite®, Ivory® Liquid Soap, or baby shampoo.
    • Do: use cool water.

    Hand:

    • Follow the "General Wash” instructions.
    • Fill a sink or tub with cool water, then add a few drops of a delicate detergent.
    • Wait five minutes, then move the fabric through the water to dislodge any remaining dirt particles.
    • Drain the basin, then rinse the garment(s) in cold water.
    • Pro tip: For extra silky...silk, add a few drops of hair conditioner to the final rinse, instead of fabric softener!
      • Silk is a protein fiber (just like your hair!) which means you can actually clean them similarly.

    Washing Machine:

    • Follow the "General Wash” instructions.
    • Only use the washing machine if you have a “hand wash” or “delicate” cycle setting!
    • Load washer with similar delicate fabrics (heavier fabric fibers are rougher and can damage silk).
    • Wash with cool or cold water.
    • Pro tip: place your garments in a mesh wash bag. It’ll keep your item(s) from getting tangled or snagged in your machine’s agitator.

    To Dry:

    • We recommend using a machine dryer to help remove fabric wrinkles and maintain softness.
    • Tumble dry on an air only cycle or delicate-low heat cycle for 10 minutes.
