Silk pillowcases require special care to maintain their ultra-soft texture and skin/hair benefits. Follow these expert-approved steps to clean your Esilkord pillowcase properly without damaging the delicate fibers.
What You’ll Need:
Mild silk detergent or baby shampoo
Cool/lukewarm water
Clean white towel
Mesh laundry bag (for machine washing)
Step 1: Pre-Wash Prep
Turn inside out to protect the glossy side
Check for stains – spot treat with diluted silk detergent
Avoid soaking – silk weakens when saturated too long
Step 2: Hand Wash (Recommended Method)
Fill basin with cool water (max 30°C/86°F)
Add 2 drops silk wash (or pH-neutral baby shampoo)
Swirl gently for 1 minute – no rubbing or twisting
Rinse under cool running water until soap-free
Pro Tip: Add 1 tbsp white vinegar to final rinse for extra softness
Step 3: Machine Wash (If Necessary)
Use delicate cycle with cold water
Place in mesh bag with similar colors
Add silk-specific detergent
Disable spin cycle completely
Drying Like a Pro
Blot dry in clean towel (roll, don’t wring)
Lay flat on drying rack (out of sunlight)
Never tumble dry or hang in direct sun
Ironing & Storage
Iron inside out on silk setting when slightly damp
Store folded in breathable cotton bag
Avoid plastic storage (traps moisture)
