Wash Before Long Storage
Body oils, products and soil are better removed before bedding sits unused for an extended period.
Dry Completely
Do not trap residual moisture in folded bedding. Damp storage can create odor and other problems.
Choose A Protected Location
Keep silk away from direct sunlight, damp basements and rough shelves. A clean breathable fabric bag or smooth enclosed shelf can protect it.
Fold Without Crushing
Fold neatly and avoid placing heavy sharp-edged items on top. For long storage, refolding occasionally can prevent the same creases from carrying all the pressure.
