Build A Gentle Laundry Routine
Separate silk from towels, denim, zippers and rough items. Where machine washing is allowed, a mesh bag and delicate cycle can reduce abrasion. Use a detergent suitable for the product’s instructions.
Dry With Less Stress
Avoid wringing. Air drying away from harsh direct sunlight is a conservative approach where permitted. Only use a dryer when the care label allows it.
Handle Stains Early And Carefully
Blot rather than scrub, avoid bleach, and do not escalate to harsh chemistry without product-specific guidance. See our stain guide.
Store Clean And Dry
Long-term storage should protect silk from moisture, direct light and rough surfaces. A breathable storage environment is preferable to trapping damp fabric.
Prevent Damage During Use
Rough nails, pet claws, jewelry and abrasive bed frames can snag delicate fabric. Smooth contact surfaces and thoughtful handling protect the investment.
