Silk Care Guide

At Curly At Hart, all of our silk products are made using the highest grade (6A) mulberry silk with a luxury 22 momme thickness, therefore, our silk products are durable and high-quality. However, it’s important to remember that mulberry silk is a delicate fabric, and so some care should be taken to ensure it lasts, and looks its best, for years to come.

While our silk pillowcases and are machine washable, we recommend hand-washing where possible, and we ALWAYS recommend hand-washing for all of our silk scrunchies and silk turbans.

Tips for machine-washing silk pillowcases

  • Wash pillowcase inside-out in a mesh laundry bag.
  • Add a cap full of silk laundry detergent (do not use any fabric softener) to your washing machine’s laundry dispenser.
  • Wash on a cold, delicates cycle at no more than 30 degrees.
  • Hang to dry and avoid any heat or direct sunlight when drying. Do not tumble dry.
  • While still slightly damp, iron inside-out on a silk setting to keep the soft, silky feel.

Tips for hand-washing silk pillowcases/scrunchies/turbans

  • Submerge the item in cold water. Do not use hot water as it will damage the silk fibres.
  • Add a small amount of silk laundry detergent and allow it to soak for a few minutes.
  • Gently rub any areas with stains with your fingers or a soft cloth, being careful not to rub too vigorously as silk is delicate.
  • Drain the soapy water and rinse with cold water.
  • Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric as it can damage the silk fibres.
  • Lay pillowcases and turbans flat on a clean towel and roll it up to absorb excess water. Then, carefully reshape the pillowcase/turban and lay it flat on a dry towel to air dry. Avoid drying silk in direct sunlight and do not tumble dry.
  • If needed, while still slightly damp, iron silk pillowcases inside-out on a silk setting. We recommend steaming silk scrunchies, instead of ironing.
