CARE FOR YOUR SILK

Preserving the Beauty of Your Silk

Silk is a timeless luxury that deserves thoughtful care. With proper washing, drying, and storage, your silk pillowcases can maintain their exceptional softness, natural sheen, and elegant beauty for years to come. Follow our care recommendations below to keep your Soméa Silk collection looking and feeling its best.

WASHING YOUR SILK

STEP 1:

CHECK THE LABEL

Before washing, always review the care label attached to your silk product. Different silk varieties may require slightly different care methods, and following the manufacturer’s recommendations helps preserve the fabric’s quality and longevity.

STEP 2:

USE COLD WATER

Wash silk in cold or lukewarm water (30°C or below). Hot water can weaken delicate fibers and diminish silk’s natural softness and sheen over time.

STEP 3:

CHOOSE A GENTLE DETERGENT

Use a mild detergent specifically formulated for silk or delicate fabrics. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and harsh chemicals, which may damage the natural fibers and alter the fabric’s appearance.

STEP 4:

WASH WITH CARE

Hand washing is recommended for the best results. If using a washing machine, place your silk pillowcase inside a mesh laundry bag and select the delicate or silk cycle. Avoid washing alongside rough fabrics such as towels or denim.

STEP 5:

RINSE THOROUGHLY

After washing, rinse with cool water until all detergent has been removed. Gently press out excess water without twisting or wringing the fabric to help maintain its smooth texture and elegant finish.

DRYING & IRONING

After washing, gently press excess water from the fabric using a clean towel. Do not wring, twist, or tumble dry your silk pillowcase. Instead, lay it flat or hang it to air dry away from direct sunlight and heat sources. If needed, use a cool iron on the silk setting or a garment steamer to remove wrinkles. Always iron on the reverse side for best results.

STORAGE & CARE TIPS

Store your silk pillowcase in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its color and natural sheen. Avoid contact with rough surfaces, jewelry, or sharp objects that may snag delicate fibers. With proper care, your Soméa Silk pillowcase will continue to provide luxurious comfort and timeless elegance for years to come.

Things to Avoid:

• Bleach and harsh detergents
• Tumble drying or high heat
• Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight
• Wringing or twisting the fabric
• Washing with rough fabrics such as denim or towels
