How to Wash the Silk Pillowcase
Preserve the Silk Pillowcase’s cloud-soft feel by machine washing on the delicate cycle or hand washing it in cold water with similar colors and fabrics. Avoid washing with heavy items (like jeans, towels, blankets) or pieces with embellishments that could scratch your pillowcase.
Once you’re done washing the Silk Pillowcase, let it lay flat to air dry. Never put the Silk Pillowcase in the dryer as it can shrink it. When air drying the Silk Pillowcase, keep it away from direct sunlight to help it retain its color and protect it from sun bleaching. On the subject of bleaching, never bleach the Silk Pillowcase as it damages the silk’s natural fibers.
Once the Silk Pillowcase dries and you’re wondering if you can iron silk, the answer is yes! You can iron silk. To maximize your pillowcase’s silky smooth goodness, just turn it inside out and steam or iron on low heat to keep away wrinkles and bring back the silk’s luster.
If you don’t have a steamer or an iron, just hang your pillowcase in your bathroom while taking a hot shower. And voila! The Silk Pillowcase is clean and ready for you to catch your best ZZZs on.
