Care for silk duvets and pillows
Silk duvets and pillows should not be washed in water. The silk fibers could become waterlogged and lose their properties and benefits.
Aeration
To maintain your bedding, simply air it regularly. As silk is naturally hypoallergenic, anti-dust mite and anti-bacterial, your duvet and pillows will remain healthy for longer, and at the same time regain all their plumpness.
To understand why care for silk duvets requires no more than simple aeration, let's compare it to cotton. Cotton fibers will absorb perspiration and moisture and become clammy. Silk fiber, on the other hand, will absorb everything in its core and remain dry on the surface. That's why it's more pleasant to sleep with a silk duvet, but just as important to air it out from time to time, so that the fibers regain their effectiveness.
It's best to air your silk duvet in dry weather, indoors if possible. Avoid direct sunlight, which can damage the fibers.
Cleaning
If you find a stain on the cover, you can clean it using a suitable detergent, taking care not to wet the silk filling. If you really need to wash your duvet or pillows, leave them in the capable hands of a professional.
Storage
When not in use, store your bedding in the cases supplied, in a dry place away from light and dust.
