Silk Care
Discover in our slideshow how to properly care for our fine silk fabrics and products – for long-lasting beauty and lasting enjoyment of your Peace Silk.
Cold hand wash / wool wash cycle up to 40°C without spinning
Silk is proven to be antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, very odorless, and, like wool, can be aired out easily. Nevertheless, regular washing is very important for keeping silk clean.
Our silk loves gentle treatment: It prefers cold hand washing or the wool wash cycle up to 40°C – but please do not use the spin cycle!
This will keep your Peace Silk beautiful and supple for a long time.
The right detergent
We advise against using wool-silk combination detergents, as wool requires refatting, whereas silk doesn't. For silk, we recommend our Tenestar silk detergent: just a squirt per item is enough! For stains, simply apply undiluted, let it work for 10 minutes, and then rinse gently.
The silk thanks you with shine and longevity.
The right drying
Rinse silk, smooth it out, and let it drain while hanging – without wringing, spinning, or using a dryer.
This will keep your Peace Silk beautiful, shiny and soft to the touch for a long time.
Ironing instructions
Iron on level 2 (silk/wool).
Careful steaming is also possible and helps to smooth out deeper wrinkles.
The silk can also be ironed when damp.
We recommend only moving the iron from one direction to the other - not back and forth movements, as this can lead to many small wrinkles.
First spray heavy wrinkles with water, then iron dry with light pressure.
General care instructions
Silk should come into contact with as little as possible:
- Chemical deodorants (prefer natural deodorants).
- Make-up, freshly applied care products (it's better to let them absorb a little).
- Oils and greases – these create stains that are difficult to remove.
