How to Care for Your Silk Products (and Make Them Last Longer)

Introduction:
Silk is one of the most elegant, delicate fabrics — but with the right care, it can last for years without losing its luster. At SERILCUM, we want your silk pillowcases and masks to remain as soft and beautiful as the day you received them. Here’s how to take care of your silk properly so it stays part of your self-care routine for a long time.

Washing Your Silk: Do’s and Don’ts

Silk doesn’t require expensive dry cleaning, but it does need gentle handling.

Hand-washing:

• Use lukewarm water and a silk-friendly detergent (free of enzymes and bleach)

• Soak for 3–5 minutes and gently agitate

• Rinse thoroughly and press out water without wringing

Machine-washing (if necessary):

• Use a delicate cycle in a mesh bag

• Cold water only, with gentle detergent

• Skip the fabric softener — it breaks down silk fibers

Drying Your Silk

Never tumble dry your silk.

• Lay flat on a clean towel and roll up to absorb excess water

• Then air dry on a drying rack or towel — away from direct sunlight or heat

Storing Silk the Right Way

Store silk in a cool, dry place, ideally folded in a breathable bag or cotton pillowcase to avoid yellowing and snags.

Bonus tip:
Avoid hanging silk items for long periods, as gravity can stretch the fibers.

Conclusion:

Silk may seem delicate, but when cared for properly, it’s surprisingly strong and enduring. A few simple steps can help preserve the beauty and performance of your SERILCUM silk products — making them a lasting part of your nightly rituals.
