If you are doing a pillowcase it is small and takes a few minutes to wash by hand. Use shampoo and cool water and a little white vinegar in the rinse and dry naturally it comes out perfect I don’t even iron.
@@sweetflakes Yeah, but I threw all my polyester pillowcases in the normal wash before switching over to silk, trouble with lax care is they will pill up on you pretty quickly. I still think throwing them in a dedicates bag to wash then hang drying is necessary if you want them to last.
Just like your normal pillowcase and your sheets/duvets. So every week. Personally, I have two silk pillowcases and swap one for the other when I wash my pillowcases. I change mine twice a week as I have a "combination with an oily T-zone" skin type. Also, if you use a lot of products for your face during the night, then you'd need to change more often as well, especially if they're more heavy and oily products. Basically, the more often you change your pillowcase, the better for your skin as pores won't get clugged up with debris from your pillowcase - prevents breakouts etc. As well as helping with keeping a healthy complexion, decreasing the chance of any allergies from flaring up and any products, that you use on your face which later transfer onto your pillow, which can irritate your eyes and make them puffy etc. I could go on but you get the idea 😂 As for the degradation of silk, if you wash it properly and delicately like the video suggests, then your fabric will last longer. It also helps to have more than one pillowcase so that you can swap them every time you clean your pillowcase. Silk although "delicate", is actually a strong fabric that holds up very well if taken care of properly. I've had my current ones for over a year now, and each one has been handwahsed every week and they still look fantastic. Hope this helped. :)
I would actually say every 2 weeks. The reason is silk is a very delicate fabric (you even need a separate washing routine for it or else it will get ruined). And washing it that often can destroy it after a few years and silk is supposed to last you many many years (more than 10 years). I personally try to keep it clean by always washing my face before sleep and not have a ton of skincare and also by frequently washing my hair. And try not to get any other stains on it like tear stains and/or food stains! But if you feel like it’s necessary than go ahead and wash it every week. As long as it’s not less than a week before next wash!😊
I've read elsewhere that a capful of white vinegar in the rinse will protect silk and its color. "A brittle texture and a matt finish are indicators of alkali damage, which can be minimized through rinsing with the vinegar solution."

What I like about silk is dust mite can’t live in silk so good for people with dust mite allergies
Instructions are so simple and helpful! I did just as you said, and my SLIP pillowcase didn't wrinkle or get damaged. Yay!

Thank you 😊
Did the white vinegar make the pillowcase smell?
Wouldn't the vinegar damage the silk over time?
Nice, soothing, and straight to the point!
Turned inside-out in a protective bag, silk specific detergent, no spinning and 20 degrees Celsius. Cheers
Very helpful, thank you❤
I highly appriciate yout video well done dear!!!
Thank You Dariia! So useful tips!
Thank you for this. I don't know how to care for silk but what some so this is very helpful
This was so helpful. Thank you💞
You said not to wring it or twist it so how do you get the excess water out before you started to put it on the towel?
You gently squeeze the water out because twisting it will damage fibers
Very good videography and editing
Would you reccomend all this for polyester satin pillow case
You don’t need all that extra care for satin because it’s just polyester.
Rule of thumb, don't iron any polyester textiles as it has low melting point.

What if you don’t own an iron?
Hi, nice video.. this is all about the pillow case, what about the silk bed sheet??
Sabreena Subhan I’m pretty sure you can use these methods for all silk things.
Duuuuh .....the same method🙄🙄🙄
🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠?????
Great video, the instructions are very clear. What about the white vinegar? not sure exactly on how using it to remove stains
The vinegar isn't for stains. It's after you wash the stains out to keep the sheen
the white vinegar also helps to rinse out the soap
Extremely helpful, thanks!
I ruined a shiny silk shirt by machine wash and fabric conditioner, it lost its shine, how to restore it?
You can attempt to steam it. Do go on it directly but a few inches away. It might help but it there's no guarantee
How much do a set cost?
how often should you wash them?

Isit white vinegar u add on 2nd rinse and then do you do a 3rd rinse with normal water
Yes
@@rebecca-ht4ci can white wine vinegar be used instead ?
Katie I don’t think so. You should probably just use white vinegar
Washing by hand stinks .but my silk pillow cases aren't cheap.
My Mulberry silk pillow case instructions stated it's fine to machine wash cold on delicates cycle in a mesh laundry bag.
Can you put them in the dryer
no you put them in a towel
HELL NO. DO NOT TUMBLE DRY
How many time should I wash it ??
You can wash once a week
What color is yours?
Is it a bad idea to sleep on a new mulberry pillow case without washing it first?
Yes! Make sure you wash it before using it for the first time!
very informative :)
IRON? O_O
Why are you advising to add vinegar?? This will kill the silk texture
I've read elsewhere that a capful of white vinegar in the rinse will protect silk and its color. "A brittle texture and a matt finish are indicators of alkali damage, which can be minimized through rinsing with the vinegar solution."
Can I ask you... does the pillow case not smell horrible after the vinegar even after rinsing?
