How to Care for Your Silk: A Simple Guide to Longevity & Luxury

Caring for silk doesn’t have to be complicated. With just a few thoughtful steps, you can keep your Silk Works pieces looking and feeling beautiful for years to come. Our mulberry silk is designed to be both luxurious and durable—here’s how to treat it with the love it deserves.

Machine Washing Your Pillowcase

• Turn pillowcase inside out

• Machine wash on a cold, delicate cycle (below 30°C)

• Use a pH-neutral or delicate detergent

• Do not use fabric softener, bleach, or tumble dry

• Dry flat on a laundry stand away from direct heat

• Iron inside out on low heat

Hand Washing Delicate Accessories

• Use cool water (below 30°C)

• Always use a pH-neutral or silk-safe detergent

• Gently agitate—avoid twisting or wringing

• Hang to dry away from direct heat

• Iron inside out on low heat if needed

We recommend hand washing for accessories like scrunchies, eye masks, and face masks.

Bring Back the Shine: Vinegar Rinse Method

To restore silk’s natural shine and vibrancy:

• Fill a basin with cool water

• Add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar per litre of water

• Submerge silk item for 3–5 minutes, swishing gently

• Rinse with cool water (optional)

• Dry flat in shade

This simple step helps remove mineral buildup and restores your silk’s elegant finish.
