Silk Care
Proper care ensures your Silkira pieces maintain their beauty and longevity for years to come.
🧼 Hand Washing Guide
We strongly recommend hand washing for the longest lifespan of your Silkira.
Fill & Mix
Fill the basin with cool water and add a small amount of your chosen silk wash. Swirl to create a gentle, soapy bath.
Submerge & Swish
Place your silk piece in the water. Gently swish them through the water for no more than 3-5 minutes. Pay slight attention to any areas that may have come into contact with body oils or perfume.
Rinse
Drain the soapy water. Refill the basin with fresh, cool water and gently swish the garment to rinse until the water runs clear.
Remove Water
Press the water out of the garment gently. Do not wring. You can roll it in a clean, white towel to absorb excess moisture gently.
Dry Flat
Reshape your piece and lay it flat on a fresh, dry towel away from direct sunlight or heat. Silk dries quickly!
🌿 Drying & Ironing: A Gentle Touch
🌞 Drying
- ❌Never tumble dry. The heat will shrink and damage the fibres.
- ✅Always air dry flat.
- ⚠️Avoid hanging, as the weight of the water can stretch the fabric.
🔥 Ironing
- ✅Iron your silk while it is still slightly damp.
- ℹ️Use the lowest heat setting ("Silk" or "Cool").
- ℹ️Always iron on the reverse side (inside out) to prevent water spots or shine marks on the right side.
- ❌Do not use steam directly, as it can leave water marks.
"With proper care, your Silkira pieces will maintain their luxurious feel and beautiful appearance for many years."
