Care for silk pajamas (making silk pajamas last longer)
Silk pajamas are made of high-quality materials and require proper care to maintain their beautiful texture and comfort to last longer. Here are some tips on how to take care of your silk pajamas.
Hand washing is recommended
Silk is a delicate material, so hand washing is recommended. Use lukewarm water and wash gently with neutral detergent. Be careful not to rub too hard or wrinkle them.
Avoid bleach and bleach-containing detergents. Bleach and bleach-containing detergents will damage the silk fiber. We recommend using a detergent specifically designed for silk.
Avoid fabric softener
Silk pajamas have a soft texture, but fabric softener coats the fiber, which impairs their softness. Avoiding fabric softener will let you enjoy the natural texture more.
Dry in the shade
When drying silk pajamas, hang them in the Shade. Avoid direct sunlight. Exposure to sunlight may deteriorate the silk fibers. Gently drying in a well-ventilated place will make the beautiful texture of silk last longer.
Iron on low temperature setting
If wrinkled, we recommend using a steam iron. When using an iron, a low temperature setting is recommended. Also, apply steam while covering the ironing area with a cloth such as a handkerchief.
Do not expose the silk fabric directly to the heat of the iron.
Clean before storage
When storing silk pajamas for a long period of time, make sure to clean them before storage. Storing silk pajamas dirty may weaken the silk fiber and cause damage.
Silk pajamas can be kept beautiful and usable for a long term of time with special care.
Proper hand washing, shade drying, avoiding the use of fabric softener, and ironing at a low temperature setting to keep your precious silk pajamas in good condition.
