YUMI 100% organic silk pillowcases are made with care, and a little care from you will help keep it beautiful for years to come.
Below are answers to the most common questions about looking after your silk.
How should I wash my YUMI pillowcase?
We recommend hand washing in cold water with a gentle, silk-safe detergent. If using a machine, place your pillowcase in a silk-safe laundry bag and select a delicates/silk cycle with cold water, on a low-spin only. Don’t wring, twist, or scrub.
Can I use regular detergent?
Avoid standard detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners as they can damage the silk fibres. Always choose a silk-safe detergent.
How do I dry it?
Air dry flat, out of direct sunlight. Never tumble dry, as heat can weaken the silk and cause shrinkage.
Can I iron my pillowcase?
Only on a cool iron on the reverse side while the silk is still slightly damp. Avoid steam or high heat.
How often should I wash it?
For best results, wash your pillowcase every 7–10 days to keep it fresh and skin-friendly.
Our Silver Ion Treated Organic Silk Pillowcase has a longer wash cycle, thanks to its antimicrobial properties, the silver ion treatment helps keep your pillowcase fresher for longer. We recommend washing it every 10–14 days, or more frequently if you have acne-prone or sensitive skin.
Is silk delicate to care for?
Not with the right care routine, your YUMI silk pillowcase stays soft, strong, and beautiful, just like the day you unwrapped it.
Some other tips:
Store clean, dry, and away from sunlight to prevent yellowing.
Add a capful of silk conditioner to maintain luster (not fabric softener).
