Gently knead and clean, then rinse with clean water.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Machine washing: If the silk pajama sets are explicitly labeled as machine washable, select a delicate or silk washing cycle and use a mild detergent. Avoid washing them with other items to prevent friction.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drying methods:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Avoid using a dryer: Pure silk pajamas are not suitable for a dryer as high heat and friction can damage the fibers. After washing, remove the garment, gently wring out excess water, and then air dry.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Air drying: Place the pajamas in a cool, well-ventilated area to dry, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent yellowing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Storage methods:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Clean and dry: Ensure your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ellesilk.com\/silk-nightwear\/silk-pajamas.html\" title=\"\">mulberry silk pajamas<\/a> are completely dry before storage to prevent moisture that may lead to mildew or yellowing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Breathable packaging: Place the dried silk pajamas in a breathable cotton or linen bag instead of a sealed plastic bag. Breathable packaging helps the garment breathe and prevents moisture buildup.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid direct sunlight: Store the pajamas in a location away from direct sunlight to prevent yellowing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Regular rotation: When storing pajamas for an extended period, it is recommended to periodically (approximately every three months) rotate the garments to prevent fiber compression damage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ellesilk.com\/silk-nightwear\/silk-pajamas.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ellesilk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/silk-pajama-0517-19-3.jpg\" alt=\"silk pajama\" class=\"wp-image-12023\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ellesilk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/silk-pajama-0517-19-3.jpg 1020w, https:\/\/www.ellesilk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/silk-pajama-0517-19-3-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ellesilk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/silk-pajama-0517-19-3-768x452.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ellesilk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/silk-pajama-0517-19-3-102x60.jpg 102w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, it&#8217;s also very important to follow the washing instructions and label indications on each silk pajama garment.
