Silk Products
Owning a Sahasrāra silk pillowcase is a luxurious investment for your hair and skin, but it also requires the right kind of care to keep it in pristine condition. With just a little extra effort, your silk pillowcase can continue to work wonders night after night.
Washing Instructions
Hand Wash Only!: Yes, it requires some extra time, but you if you want your silk to last longer, we recommend hand washing in room temperature or cool water.
Use Gentle Cleanser: Select a natural, gentle cleanser that’s made for delicate fabrics.
Avoid Bleach: Bleach can damage silk fibers and cause discoloration.
No Machine Washing: The agitation from washing machines can be too harsh for silk, potentially damaging the fabric and causing it to lose its luster.
How to Hand Wash
Fill a basin with room temperature or cool water and add a small amount of gentle detergent. Submerge the pillowcase, gently swirl it around, and let it soak for a few minutes. Silk cleans easily, so this process is quick. Drain the soapy water and rinse thoroughly with cool water.
Drying Instructions
No Wringing: Avoid wringing out your silk pillowcase. Instead, place it between two soft white towels and gently press to remove excess water.
Drying: You can either hang your silk pillowcase on a padded hanger in a shaded area or lay it flat on a clean, dry towel. Both methods will help preserve the fabric and color. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can cause the colors to fade.
No Tumble Drying: Tumble drying can damage the silk fibers and alter the texture of your pillowcase.
Ironing Instructions
Iron Inside Out on Low Heat: If your silk pillowcase gets wrinkled, turn it inside out while it’s still slightly damp. Make sure the iron setting is on low heat or the designated “silk” setting to protect the delicate fabric from direct heat. Use a soft cloth or piece of fabric as a protective barrier to shield the delicate silk from direct heat.
A handheld steamer can also be used, but avoid direct contact as the steam can cause water spots.
Care Tips for Storing
Cool, Dry Storage: Store your silk pillowcase in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, as prolonged exposure to sunlight can weaken silk fibers and cause fading.
Avoid Plastic Bags: Avoid storing silk in plastic bags, which can trap moisture and lead to mildew. Instead, use a breathable cotton bag or a drawer lined with tissue paper to protect it from dust.
Fold Carefully: Gently fold your silk pillowcase along natural seams to prevent creasing. For added protection, you can layer tissue paper between folds to reduce friction.
Care Tips while Traveling
Use a Protective Pouch: To keep your silk pillowcase clean and crease-free, place it in a dedicated fabric pouch or a small cotton bag before packing. This helps prevent snagging and keeps it protected from other items in your luggage.
Roll Instead of Fold: Rolling your pillowcase can minimize wrinkles and make it easier to fit into small spaces. Rolling also reduces the risk of sharp creases, which can be difficult to smooth out.
Pack Lightly Around It: Avoid packing heavy or sharp objects near your pillowcase to prevent it from getting crushed or damaged in transit
A little extra love for your silk products goes a long way in preserving their beauty, softness, and durability.
