It is important to follow care instructions to maintain the quality and longevity of your silk pillow:
Carefully remove the cover from the pillow core.
- Hand wash only in cold water
- Use a silk-safe or gentle detergent
- Do not bleach, tumble dry, or wring
- Lay flat or hang to air dry in shade
Once the silk cover has dried, take your time to carefully pull it over the pillow as pure silk has minimal to no elasticity, and improper care can result in tears.
Alternatively you can hand wash the whole pillow, ensuring you do not rub as this can cause damage to the silk fibres. Once washed, gently squeeze out excess water (do not wring) and lay flat or hang in shade to dry. This process will take a little longer to dry, but if you are finding difficulty in slipping the pillow back into the silk case, it is the next best option.
It is essential to follow proper care as it helps preserve the silk fibres and ensures continued skin friendly benefits.
