Silk Care 101: How to Wash, Dry & Protect Your 22-Momme Silk (Without Losing the Shine)

Silk Care 101: How to Wash, Dry & Protect Your 22-Momme Silk (Without Losing the Shine)

Proper care keeps luxury beautiful. This simple routine—tested on LUXIAUR’s 22-Momme Certified Organic Silk—preserves softness, glow, and longevity for your pillowcases, sleep masks, and turbans.

Step-by-Step Care Routine

1) Pre-wash

  • Turn items inside out and close zippers.

  • Separate light and dark colours.

2) Wash

  • Best: Hand wash in cold water with a silk-safe detergent.

  • Machine option: Delicate cycle, cold water, low spin, in a mesh laundry bag.

  • Avoid: Bleach, fabric softeners, or harsh enzymes—these break silk fibres.

3) Rinse & Handle

  • Rinse thoroughly in cold water.

  • Do not wring—gently press out water between towels.

4) Dry

  • Air-dry flat away from direct sunlight or heat.

  • No tumble dryer; high heat weakens silk proteins.

5) Smooth & Store

  • If needed, use a cool iron/steamer on the reverse with a pressing cloth.

  • Store clean, fully dry silk in the LUXIAUR gift box or a breathable bag.

Stain Tips (Quick & Gentle)

  • Treat immediately with cold water.

  • Dab (don’t rub) with a silk-safe stain solution; rinse and wash as above.

 

How Often Should You Wash?

  • Pillowcases: Every 3–5 sleeps for skin/hair hygiene.

  • Sleep masks & turbans: Weekly or as needed.
