How exactly should I wash my mulberry silk duvet?

With mulberry silk comforter, remember two things: 

1. The silk comforter is an animal fibre and is inherently hygroscopic, breathable and soft, but the wet strength is low, so the silk duvet will shrink into a mass after washing, losing its original fluffiness and warmth, so it can no longer be used, and washing will seriously damage the internal structure of the silk quilt, also making the life of the duvet greatly reduced.

2. It cannot be dry cleaned. The main component of the detergent is tetrachloroethylene, which is inherently toxic, and dry cleaning also tends to reduce the life of the silk duvet and cause it to turn yellow.

So how should you wash Mulberry Silk Comforter？

Instead of washing, it’s better to say how to keep him from getting dirty.

The mulberry silk comforter itself is a protein fibre and is also known as the cleanest quilt because friction does not produce static electricity or attract tiny particles such as dust. The key now is to keep the silk comforter from getting dirty.

Remember the following points：

1. Always use a duvet cover and do not run and jump on the silk duvet, especially to prevent small children from wetting the bed.

2. Be sure to dry the silk duvet at regular intervals; it will absorb moisture well, but everything has a degree, so silk also has its limit, remove the moisture; it will make the silk duvet more durable.

3. The cover should be changed regularly to prevent the silk quilt from getting dirty due to a dirty cover.

4. When storing them, always wrap them in a clean cloth and keep them in a dry place, do not use vacuum compression bags.

What should I do if my silk duvet is already dirty and can’t be washed? There are two ways:

1. If the area is not very large, you can use a damp towel, wipe the dirty area, and when it is dry, shake it manually.

2. If the dirty is deeply rooted, you can wipe it partially with a neutral washing-up liquid and then dry it naturally. Silk quilts are resistant to acid but not alkali, so be sure to avoid washing with washing powder or soap to prevent damage to the silk.

What if a large area is dirty and can no longer be wiped off?

Remove the inner cover of the silk duvet, then wash the cover and put it back on.
