Washing Your Silk Pillowcase
Gentle Care For Long-Lasting Softness
To keep your silk pillowcase fresh and luxurious, we recommend washing it regularly depending on your personal routine.
Choose A Silk-Friendly Detergent
Always use a mild detergent designed for delicate fabrics or silk. Avoid products containing:
1, Bleach
2, Harsh chemicals
3, Strong enzymes
4, Fabric softeners
These ingredients may weaken silk fibers and affect the natural softness and shine of the fabric.
Hand Washing (Recommended)
For the most gentle care:
1, Fill a basin with cold water.
2, Add a small amount of silk-friendly detergent.
3, Gently soak and move the pillowcase through the water.
4, Rinse thoroughly with clean cold water.
5, Press gently to remove excess water.
Avoid rubbing, twisting, or wringing the silk, as this may damage the delicate fibers.
Machine Washing
Your Somelle silk pillowcase can be machine washed with extra care.
For best results:
1, Use a delicate or silk cycle
2, Wash with cold water (below 30°C / 86°F)
3, Place inside a mesh laundry bag
4, Wash separately or with other delicate fabrics
A gentle wash routine helps preserve the smooth texture and luxurious finish of your silk.
Drying Your Silk
Let Your Silk Breathe Naturally
After washing, gently remove excess water using a clean towel.
Lay your silk pillowcase flat or hang it in a shaded, well-ventilated area to dry naturally.
Avoid:
1, Tumble drying
2, Direct sunlight
3, High heat
Heat can affect the silk fibers and reduce the softness and natural luster of the fabric.
Ironing & Removing Wrinkles
Restore Silk’s Smooth Finish
Silk naturally relaxes over time, but if you prefer a perfectly smooth appearance:
1, Use the lowest temperature setting on your iron
2, Iron on the reverse side of the fabric
3, Use gentle pressure only
A garment steamer is also an excellent option for refreshing your silk pillowcase while protecting its delicate structure.
Removing Stains
Treat Gently And Quickly
If your silk pillowcase becomes stained, treat the area as soon as possible.
Recommended steps:
1, Blot the stain gently with a clean cloth.
2, Apply a small amount of mild detergent suitable for silk.
3, Rinse carefully with cold water.
4, Allow the fabric to air dry naturally.
Avoid rubbing the stain aggressively, as this can affect the smooth surface of the silk.
For products such as skincare, makeup, or self-tanning products, we recommend allowing them to fully absorb before sleeping to help maintain the beauty of your silk.
