Proper care of your 100% mulberry silk pillowcases and eye masks will ensure their longevity and maintain their exquisite quality. Follow these simple steps to keep your silk items in pristine condition.
Washing Your Silk Products
-
Hand Wash Preferred: For the best results, we recommend hand washing your silk products. Use lukewarm water (around 30°C/86°F) and a gentle, pH-neutral detergent specifically designed for silk. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners.
-
Machine Wash with Care: If you prefer to machine wash, place your silk items in a mesh laundry bag to protect them. Select the delicate cycle with cold water and use a mild detergent. Ensure the spin cycle is set to the lowest speed.
-
Avoid Harsh Soaps: Do not use regular laundry detergents as they can damage the delicate fibers of the silk. Choose a detergent formulated for delicate fabrics or specifically for silk.
Drying Your Silk Products
-
Air Dry Flat: After washing, gently press out excess water by rolling the silk item in a clean, dry towel. Do not wring or twist. Lay flat to dry on a drying rack away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
-
Avoid Tumble Drying: Do not use a dryer for your silk products as the heat can damage the fibers and cause shrinkage.
Ironing and Storing Your Silk Products
-
Iron on Low Heat: If ironing is necessary, use the lowest heat setting on your iron. It’s best to iron your silk items while they are still slightly damp. Always iron on the reverse side or place a cloth between the iron and the silk to prevent any direct contact.
-
Proper Storage: Store your silk products in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, which can weaken the fibers and cause fading. It’s best to keep them in a breathable fabric bag to protect against dust and moths.
Additional Tips for Maintaining Your Silk Products
-
Rotate Use: If you own multiple silk pillowcases or eye masks, rotate their use to reduce wear and tear on a single item.
-
Avoid Contact with Harsh Chemicals: Keep your silk items away from hairsprays, perfumes, and other harsh chemicals that can stain or damage the silk.
-
Professional Cleaning: For tough stains or thorough cleaning, consider professional dry cleaning services that specialize in delicate fabrics.
By following these care instructions, you can preserve the luxurious feel and appearance of your Perle de Lune silk products. Enjoy the timeless elegance and comfort of silk, night after night.
