General Care for Natural Fibers

  Silk and other natural fibers will last a long time if given the proper care

Always use a mild soap when washing. Do not use any harsh chemicals, bleach, fabric softener, or dryer sheets as they damage the delicate natural fibers. We do not recommend Woolite for our silk and natural fiber products. We suggest LeBlanc Silk and Lingerie Wash or a similar silk or natural fiber-friendly (ph neutral) soap. Please remember that brighter colors may run during the first washings, so wash separately. Some products need to be dry cleaned as noted on the care label.

 
If the care label says machine wash

Wash in cool water using a gentle cycle. Air or machine dry on low. Remove promptly from the dryer. The heat from the dryer is hard on silk and other natural fibers, so please do not over dry. We cannot accept returns for improperly laundered items. 

Caring for Dark Colored Silk Sheets

The deep color silk sheets (Black, red, plum, passion, ginger & chocolate) need to be washed separately.
To make the deep colors colorfast we suggest you do the following before using:
Prewash the sheets (cold water, gentle cycle) using a mild soap with no additives * and ½ cup of white vinegar.  
* We suggest Le Blanc Silk Wash.  Do not use Woolite or similar soaps as they contain bleach, which is harmful to silk.
Dry in the dryer for about 15 minutes using a low setting.  Remove promptly when dry.  Do not over dry.

Caring for Silk Filled Comforters

Silk is a luxurious fiber, both delicate and strong.  Your comforter will give you years of warm and nurturing comfort if given the proper care. 

Silk filled products cannot be machine-washed. The Chinese, who have been using silk-filled comforters for centuries, recommend that instead of dry cleaning, comforters and pillows should be hung outside in the fresh air away from direct sunlight a few times during the year.  If needed, spot clean.  With purchases we enclosed a sample of “Silk & Clean” a dry cleaning pad that is handy for removal of small stains. If a full cleaning is required, the comforter needs to be professionally dry-cleaned.  Please make sure your cleaner understands the comforter is 100% silk inside and out.

To insure the life of the comforter we suggest covering it with a washable silk duvet cover.  Comforter covers and Silk & Clean are available on this website.  We cannot accept returns for improperly cared for comforters.
