    Why Proper Care is Essential

    Start by checking the care label on your silk pillowcases for any specific instructions from the manufacturer. If there are visible stains, gently spot clean them with a mild detergent before proceeding to a full wash.

    Hand Washing Silk Pillowcase

    Fill a clean basin with cold water and add a small amount of mild detergent designed for delicate fabrics. Place your pillowcases in the water and gently swirl them around. It’s important to avoid scrubbing or twisting the fabric, as this can damage the silk fibers. Once washed, rinse the pillowcases thoroughly with cold water until all detergent is removed.

    Machine Wash Silk Pillowcase

    If you prefer using a washing machine, first place your pillowcases inside a Sillo Care Wash Bag to protect them. Set your machine to a delicate or gentle cycle, using cold water and a mild detergent. Be sure not to overload the machine to prevent excessive friction between the pillowcases and other items.

    Drying Your Silk Pillowcases

    Avoid using a dryer for your silk pillowcases, as the heat can be damaging. Instead, lay the pillowcases flat on a clean, dry towel to air dry. Avoid hanging them, as this can stretch the fabric. If needed, iron the pillowcases on a low setting while they are still slightly damp, using a cloth between the iron and the silk to prevent direct contact.

    Maintaining Your Silk Pillowcases

    • Regular Washing: To keep your pillowcases fresh and prevent the build-up of oils and dirt, wash them regularly.

    • Use Sillo Care Wash Bags: For added protection during machine washing, Sillo Care Wash Bags are ideal. Crafted from robust, pure polyester mesh, these wash bags ensure a thorough and protective clean while guarding against snags and tangles. They also feature a smart zipper that stays securely closed and includes an added protective sleeve for enhanced durability. Sillo Care Wash Bags are designed to maintain the pristine condition of your silk pillowcases and other delicate items, ensuring they always look their best.
