Many people are confused about that the silk bedding they have can’t last long. In fact, silk linen is a very strong fabric and can last for many years if cared for properly. Here are some tips about how to wash it correctly.

Read the care label: Always check the care label for specific instructions on how to wash your silk linen. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for best results.

Hand wash: Silk linen should be hand washed in cool water with a gentle detergent. Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach, which can damage the fabric.

Rinse thoroughly: Rinse the silk linen thoroughly to remove all soap residue. Gently press out excess water, but do not wring or twist the fabric.

Air dry: Hang or lay the silk linen flat to dry. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight, as this can cause fading or yellowing of the fabric.

Iron with care: If necessary, iron the silk linen on a low heat setting while it is still slightly damp. Use a pressing cloth to protect the fabric from direct heat.

Store properly: When storing silk linen, avoid hanging it as this can cause stretching or distortion. Instead, fold it neatly and store it in a cool, dry place.
