Learn how to keep your silk pieces beautiful and long-lasting with these simple care tips.
Silk is strong, but it deserves delicate care. With the right washing and storage techniques, your silk can stay soft, vibrant, and luxurious for years to come. Here’s how to love your silk the smart way:
1. Hand Wash with Cold Water
Use cold water and a silk-safe detergent. Soak gently, swish (don’t scrub), and rinse. Never wring or twist silk — it damages the fibers.
2. Air Dry Flat & Avoid Direct Sunlight
Lay your silk garment on a clean towel to air dry. Avoid hangers that can stretch the fabric, and keep it out of harsh sun to preserve color.
3. Use a Low-Heat Iron or Steamer
If needed, iron on the reverse side using the silk setting, or use a handheld steamer. Always test a small area first.
4. Store It Right
Store silk in a cool, dry place. Use breathable cotton garment bags and avoid plastic. Never hang silk with metal clips or rough surfaces.
5. Avoid Perfume & Deodorant Direct Contact
Apply products to your skin and let them dry before dressing. Silk absorbs chemicals easily, which can cause stains or damage.
