How do I care for Mulberry Silk items?Updated 2 months ago

Fabric: 100% Mulberry Silk.

Washing: To be washed with only a gentle detergent designed for silk; do not utilize OxiClean, bleach, or laundry softeners. Hand wash or use a mesh laundry bag in the washer on a cold, delicate cycle. If hand washing, never wring or twist the silk as this will destroy the protein fibers.

Drying: Lay flat to dry; never suitable for the dryer. 

Special Note: A majority of our silk products can be washed by hand or in a laundry bag in the washer on a delicate wash in cold water. Please check the label on your garment regarding best laundry practices and to verify that it is not a dry-clean only item.

Restoring Shine: Hard water, too warm of heat when washing, and harsh detergents can impact the luster of silk. If your pajama has lost some of the shine, we recommend a diluted white vinegar rinse to help restore the shine. After washing your silk garment, prepare a final rinse bath with cool water (1 gallon) and a half-cup of white distilled vinegar. 

Removing Wrinkles: To remove wrinkles, gently steam the silk items on low heat and with indirect contact; we recommend a fresh wash cloth or clean tee shirt over the steamer head to catch excess water droplets when steaming silk.
