Read The Care Instructions First
Some manufacturers specify a silk or delicate-fabric detergent. That product-specific instruction should guide your choice.
Why Standard Heavy-Duty Detergent May Be A Poor Fit
Formulas designed for tough everyday soils can contain chemistry or enzymes that a silk maker does not recommend. Do not assume the detergent you use on towels belongs in the silk load.
Dose Matters
Overdosing can leave residue and makes rinsing harder. Follow the detergent and machine instructions for the load size.
Promeed Care Context
Promeed currently advises silk laundry detergent for several sheet products. Verify the live care section for the exact item you own.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular detergent on silk?
Only if the product’s care instructions permit it. A silk/delicates formula is often the safer default.
Can I use bleach?
Bleach is generally inappropriate for silk; follow the exact label.
Do I need fabric softener?
Do not add products that are not recommended by the manufacturer.
