Silk Care Guide

Silk is a delicate natural fibre, loved for its soft touch, luminous sheen and smooth finish. Following the steps below will help preserve the beauty and longevity of your Dermify silk piece.

  • Hand wash in cold water using a gentle, pH-neutral detergent suitable for silk.
  • For convenience, machine washing on a cold delicate cycle in a delicates wash bag may be used, although hand washing is preferred for best care.
  • Wash colours separately and avoid soaking for extended periods.
  • Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, harsh chemicals and enzyme-based detergents, as these may weaken the silk fibres and diminish their natural sheen.
  • Do not wring, twist, scrub or rub the fabric. Instead, gently press out excess water with a clean towel.
  • Air dry flat or hang in the shade, away from direct sunlight. Avoid pegs or clips that may leave marks on the silk.
  • Do not tumble dry. Heat can weaken the fibres and reduce the smooth, luminous finish of the silk.
  • If needed, steam gently or iron on the lowest heat setting while the silk is slightly damp. Always iron on the reverse side with a cloth between the silk and the iron surface.
  • Store your silk in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, moisture, fragrance, skincare and hair products.
