How to Care for Silk Pillowcases & Sheets
Silk can last well when cared for correctly. The safest approach is always to follow the instructions supplied with your specific product.
Read the care label first
Different silk products can have different construction and finishing. The manufacturer's instructions should override generic internet advice.
Use gentle handling
Avoid rough agitation, high heat and harsh treatment unless the product's care label explicitly permits it. Silk is a luxury textile, so treat it accordingly.
Dry thoughtfully
Follow the label for drying. Avoid unnecessary high heat and harsh mechanical handling when the manufacturer recommends gentler treatment.
Wash colours carefully
If the product instructions call for separate or careful washing, follow them. This is especially important with new, strongly coloured textiles.
