Look after your silk.
Mulberry silk is a natural protein fibre. Treated gently, it stays smooth and soft for years. Treated harshly, it dulls quickly. Here is how we recommend caring for your SILENSILK sleep mask and pillowcase.
Washing
- Hand wash in cold water with a pH-neutral silk-safe detergent.
- Pillowcases may be machine washed on a delicate cycle, in cold water, inside a mesh laundry bag. Do not machine wash the sleep mask.
- Do not bleach, do not use enzyme detergents, and do not soak silk for extended periods.
Drying
- Do not tumble dry.
- Press excess water out gently inside a clean towel — never wring silk.
- Lay flat to dry, or hang in the shade. Direct sunlight will fade the colour over time.
Ironing
- If needed, iron on the reverse side on the lowest silk setting, while the silk is still slightly damp.
- Do not use steam directly on the printed or dyed side.
Storage
- Return the sleep mask to its silk storage pouch when not in use.
- Keep silk away from perfumes, alcohol-based sprays and prolonged sunlight.
Everyday tips
- Wash your pillowcase every 5–7 nights, or more often if you use night creams.
- Rotate two pillowcases so each has time to fully dry between washes.
- Remove make-up and heavy skincare before bed to extend the life of your silk.
