Silk Care Guide

Silk Care Guide

Real mulberry silk rewards gentle care with years of softness and sheen. Follow these steps to keep your Sooyan pieces at their best.

Washing

  • Hand wash in cold water (below 30°C / 86°F) with a pH-neutral detergent made for silk or delicates.
  • Machine alternative: place the item in a mesh laundry bag, select the gentle/silk cycle, cold water only.
  • Never use bleach, fabric softener, or enzyme-based detergents — they break down silk protein fibers.

Drying

  • Do not wring or twist. Press water out gently with a clean towel.
  • Air-dry flat or on a hanger, away from direct sunlight and radiators.
  • Do not tumble dry.

Ironing & Storage

  • If needed, iron on the lowest (silk) setting while slightly damp, on the reverse side.
  • Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging heavy silk bedding for long periods; fold instead.

Everyday Tips

  • Remove jewelry before using silk pillowcases and eye masks to avoid snags.
  • Apply face creams at least 15 minutes before bed to reduce staining.
  • Wash new silk once before first use for the softest feel.
