Mistake #1 – Using the Wrong Detergent
Harsh detergents can be detrimental to silk fibers. Instead, choose a gentle, silk-specific detergent or a mild, non-biological alternative. This ensures your silk pillowcases retain their natural shine and remain in excellent condition.
Mistake #2 – Washing with Hot Water
Hot water can shrink and damage silk. Always wash your silk pillowcases in cold water to preserve their shape and softness. Cold water helps maintain the integrity of the silk fibers, keeping your pillowcases luxurious and beautiful.

Mistake #3 – Washing Without a Bag
Washing silk pillowcases without protection can lead to snagging and damage. To prevent this, use Sillo Care washbags. Crafted from robust polyester mesh and designed with smart zipper protection, these washbags safeguard your silk from snags and tangles during the wash cycle. They help preserve the fabric’s delicate nature and extend its lifespan.
Mistake #4 – Drying in Direct Sunlight
Direct sunlight can fade silk and diminish its natural sheen. To keep your pillowcases looking vibrant, air-dry them in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Lay them flat on a clean towel or hang them gently, avoiding direct sunlight to preserve their color and texture.
Mistake #5 – Ironing at High Temperatures
High heat can scorch silk and ruin its delicate texture. Iron your silk pillowcases on the lowest heat setting and always use a cloth between the iron and the fabric. This helps protect the silk from heat damage while keeping it crisp and beautiful.
Tips for Caring for Your Silk Pillowcase
In addition to avoiding these mistakes, remember to avoid fabric softeners, which can coat silk fibers and reduce their natural sheen. Gently squeeze out excess water without wringing or twisting to prevent damage.
