How to Care for Mulberry Silk: Do’s and Don’ts
When you invest in silk, you choose comfort, quality, and craftsmanship. With proper care, your silk garments can remain as beautiful and luxurious as the day you first wore them. Follow these simple yet essential tips to preserve your silk's softness, shine, and longevity.
Dos: Keep Your Silk Looking Its Best
To maintain your silk’s smooth texture and rich color, wash it separately or with other silk items in similar shades. Use cold water on a delicate cycle and choose gentle products like baby shampoo, hair conditioner, or silk-specific detergents. After washing, hang your silk to dry in the shade — this helps prevent discoloration and keeps the fabric feeling soft and fresh.
Don'ts: What to Avoid
To avoid damage, never wash silk with non-silk fabrics as friction may weaken the delicate fibers. Steer clear of hot water, which can break down silk's structure, and skip regular laundry detergents, soap nuts, or enzyme-based cleaners — these are too harsh for silk. Lastly, avoid tumble drying, which can cause shrinkage and compromise the silk’s natural drape.
These same care tips also apply to our fine linen-silk blend fabrics, ensuring they retain their beauty and comfort for years to come.
With these thoughtful steps, you can continue to enjoy the gentle touch and refined beauty of silk in your everyday life.
