1. Silk Comforters-Avoid Water
Do not hand or machine wash silk comforters. The silk filling is a natural fiber that will shrink in water. Enclose the silk comforter in a comforter cover and launder the cover only. You may dry clean the silk comforter if you find it necessary, but there is often no need to dry clean the comforter.
2. Silk Comforters-Air out Periodically
Every night during sleep the human body expels approximately 200cc of moisture. When the comforter feels weighty , or begins to lose its heat retention or fluffiness, it needs to be aired out in the sun. Sunlight will draw out trapped moisture and restore fluffiness to the comforter. Limit each airing to one to two hours, depending on amount of sunlight. The comforter can also be put in the dryer on low heat (do not exceed 30 minutes in dryer).
3. Silk Duvet Covers-Machine Wash
Pure silk comforter covers are all machine washable. Use cold water and low temperature drying to prevent shrinkage and material breakdown. Close all zippers when washing. |
