How do I wash silk products?
"To maintain the beauty and luster of silk products and ensure the health of your skin and hair, it is important to follow precise steps while cleaning and caring for them, whether you have a pillowcase or any other silk product. Here’s the ideal way to keep them in the best condition."
Top Tips for Washing Silk
- Follow the instructions included with the product and always check the instruction label for the proper way to clean the product.
- Avoid strong detergents and bleaches as they may weaken the silk fibers and cause damage.
- Use the Luxury Silk Cleaner from Pinky Glow, which is specially designed to maintain the softness and quality of silk. If it's not available, you can use a cleaner specifically for delicate fabrics or even baby shampoo as an alternative.
- Do not use an automatic dryer because the heat of the dryer may cause the silk to shrink or become damaged.
- Avoid direct sunlight when drying to ensure color fastness and protect the fabric from damage.
- Wash silk alone and do not mix it with other fabrics or colors to avoid interference or damage to the fabric.
The best way to wash silk by hand
- Fill a bowl with lukewarm or cold water.
- Add a little of the Luxury Silk Cleaner from Pinky Glow and stir the water gently.
- Soak the product for only three minutes because silk does not take long to clean.
- Using your hands, gently swirl the product into the water to remove dirt without rubbing or pressing hard.
- Rinse the product with cold water until you are sure that all traces of detergent are removed.
- Dry the product in the correct way:
- Hang it on a hanger or rack in a place away from sunlight.
- Or spread it on a clean towel and leave it to dry naturally.
Ironing Instructions
- Use the low iron setting or the silk option on your iron.
