What should you pay attention to when washing silk pillowcases?

1. Choose the right detergent
Be sure to use a silk-specific detergent, or a mild neutral detergent, such as shampoo, shower gel, etc. Avoid using alkaline or strongly acidic detergents, such as soap and washing powder, as they may damage silk fibers.
2. Control the water temperature
The water temperature should be below 30°C, and it is best to use cold water. Hot water can easily cause silk to shrink and fade.
3. Gentle washing
Be gentle when washing by hand, and do not rub or twist it hard to avoid damaging the structure of the silk.
4. Wash separately
Do not wash with other clothes to prevent scratches from hard objects such as zippers and buttons on other clothes.
5. Avoid long soaking
The soaking time should not be too long, generally 5-10 minutes is enough, so as not to damage the silk fibers.
6. Rinse thoroughly
Make sure the detergent is completely rinsed, as residual detergent will make the silk hard and yellow.
