Silk Hacks: What experts say to take care of your silk sheet？

Having a silk product like a silk blanket, silk sheet, or other variety might be game-changing for many people. There are a lot of advantages to having silk bedding, like silk sheets and duvet cover sets. Research proves that the quality of your bedding materials affects the quality of your sleep. Investing in a high-quality silk sheet, especially when it is mulberry silk, will give you a great night's sleep all night. Nowadays, owning a silk sheet set of queen or king-sized bedding is becoming a new health trend, but it also means that you need extra care and maintenance to take care of your silk sheets. It might be a surprise that taking care of a silk sheet and blanket is not as easy as it might seem. 

If you already have your silk sheet and silk blanket, it is time for you to have a look at what the experts say to take care of your silk sheet. Here we summarize all the silk hacks we know from the silk experts, so you will have your silk duvet cover set bedding with more durability.

• Wash with the same color. 

First of all, wash the silk product separately from other materials. After that, separate again based on color. If you have a lot of silk products at home, try to group them into similar colors and wash them separately. Mixing the same color while washing will greatly impact the linen, especially silk. Talking about color, you might also need to pay more attention to lighter colors as they are more sensitive to dirt. Some designers suggest buying silk bedding products in darker colors to take care of easily, like black silk sheets, terracotta, deep green, navy blue, and shades of coffee. Light-colored silk bed sets will give your room a refreshing look, but you need to be careful with the dirt. So, whether you choose a dark or light color depends on your personal preferences and personality.

• Wash the silk bedding in the right way at the right time.

You need to know how to wash your silk sheets and how often you should wash them. Most experts agree that, on average, you need to wash your bedsheets once a week. This frequency might also vary based on the room situation. A silk sheet in a dusty room must be washed more frequently. In general, silk is smoother than any material, so you must wash it gently. Hand washing is highly recommended, but if you really need a machine, please be sure that your machine has a gentle mode specifically for silk. Even though silk material is robust against bacteria, you can always freely wash it with warm water to kill more bacteria and germs. But please ensure that you use warm water instead of hot water. High-temperature water tends to destroy the silk linen.

• Choose the right size.

Choosing the wrong-sized silk bedding can affect the durability of the sheet itself. A bed sheet that is bigger than the bed frame can get more dirt as there will be many areas that contact the floor, while when the size is too small, it will likely stretch, and the tension will damage the silk linen. So, always be sure of your bed dimension before purchasing one. 

• Store in the right way in a right place.

How you store your silk bedding has a surprising effect on the durability and quality of the silk sheet material itself. A sensitive fabric material like silk shouldn't be squashed while storing it. Otherwise, the pressure will damage its texture. Experts agree that a better way to store your bedding material, especially when it comes with silk, is to roll it and place it vertically in a dry place. Besides avoiding any pressure on the bedding linen, rolling the sheet and placing it vertically also can prevent your sheet from wrinkling. This method of storing can also be applied to any materials of bedding.
