Mulberry Silk Fabric Care Instructions: Keep Your Luxury Silk Looking Perfect

Mulberry silk pajamas, silk nightgowns, and silk accessories are a luxurious investment, and with the right care, they can last for years while maintaining their softness and shine. Follow these simple care tips to keep your 100% mulberry silk pieces looking as beautiful as the day you bought them!

1. Wash with Care

  • Hand Wash Recommended: Use lukewarm water (below 30°C/86°F) and a mild silk-friendly detergent.
  • Machine Wash (Delicate Cycle): If using a washing machine, place your mulberry silk pajamas or accessories in a mesh laundry bag and set the machine to a gentle cycle with cold water.
  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Stay away from bleach, fabric softeners, or harsh detergents that can damage the silk fibers.

2. Drying the Right Way

  • Air Dry Flat: Lay your mulberry silk nightgown or silk pj set flat on a clean, dry towel and roll it gently to remove excess water. Then, reshape and lay it flat to dry in a shaded area.
  • Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can weaken silk fibers and cause fading.
  • No Tumble Drying: Heat from dryers can shrink and damage silk. Always air dry naturally.

3. Ironing & Removing Wrinkles

  • Use Low Heat or Silk Setting: If needed, iron your momme silk pajamas on the lowest heat setting while the fabric is still slightly damp.
  • Steam Instead of Ironing: A gentle steamer is a great way to remove wrinkles without damaging silk fibers.

4. Storing Mulberry Silk

  • Hang or Fold with Care: Store luxury silk pajamas in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
  • Use a Silk Storage Bag: Protect silk from dust and moisture with a breathable fabric bag.
  • Avoid Mothballs: Use natural lavender sachets instead to keep silk fresh and protected.

5. Treating Stains Gently

  • Blot, Don’t Rub: If you spill something on your silk sleepwear, gently blot with a damp cloth instead of rubbing.
  • Use a Mild Silk Cleaner: For stubborn stains, use a silk-specific detergent or take it to a professional cleaner.
