How to wash our silk properly
Silk is naturally very odour-neutral – with Bourette silk in particular, the natural sericin content may help counteract bacterial growth. Like wool, it can be refreshed effectively by airing out. Even so, regular washing is important to keep silk clean and hygienic.
Our silk loves gentle care: cold hand washing or a wool/delicate cycle up to 40 °C - but please avoid spinning.
This helps your Peace Silk stay beautiful, smooth, and supple for a long time.
Choosing the Right Silk Detergent Matters
We recommend avoidingwool–silk combo detergents, because wool needs re-fatting (reconditioning) — silk does not.
For silk, we recommend our Tenestar silk detergent: just a small dash per item is enough.
For stains, apply itneat (undiluted), leave it on for 10 minutes, then gently rinse/wash out.
How to dry silk properly
Rinse the silk thoroughly, gently smooth it back into shape, and let it drip-dry while hanging — withno wringing, spinning, or tumble drying.
This helps your Peace Silk stay beautiful, glossy, and silky-soft for a long time.
How to Iron Silk Properly
Iron on setting 2 (silk/wool).
Gentle steaming is also possible and helps smooth out deeper creases. Silk can also be ironed while still slightly damp.
We recommend moving the iron in one direction only - avoid back-and-forth motions, as this can create lots of small wrinkles.
For stubborn creases, lightly spray with destilled water first, then dry-iron with light pressure.
What Our Silk Really Doesn´t Like
- Chemical deodorants (better: natural deodorants, and wait until they’ve fully absorbed)
- Makeup and freshly applied skincare products (let them absorb first)
- Oils and grease - they can cause stains that are difficult to remove
