Cool water
Heat is silk's only enemy. Wash in cool or lukewarm water, and it will thank you.
SILK CARE, KEPT SIMPLE
Silk is delicate, but caring for it is not complicated. Cool water, a mild detergent, and a little patience is all it takes to keep your RENESSY silk soft for years.
FOUR THINGS TO REMEMBER
When in doubt, keep every step cool, mild, and gentle.
Mild detergent
Use a silk-safe detergent; no bleach, brighteners or fabric softener.
Air dry
Press out water gently with a towel, then let it dry away from sun and heat.
Store clean
Fully dry, loosely folded, away from anything rough.
A FEW THINGS SILK DOESN'T LIKE
Skip bleach, enzyme-heavy detergents, fabric softener, long soaks, tumble drying and direct heat.
And keep silk away from rough zippers, hooks, jewelry and textured laundry that can snag the surface.
Silk care FAQ
Hand washing is the gentlest method. If the care label allows machine washing, use a mesh laundry bag, cold delicate cycle, low spin, and a silk-safe detergent.
For regular nightly use, washing about once a week is a practical rhythm. Wash sooner after heavy skincare, hair oil, sweat, or visible marks.
Treat marks as early as possible with cool water and a mild silk-safe detergent. Dab gently from the outside of the stain inward, and avoid scrubbing or harsh stain removers.
Use a pH-neutral or silk-safe detergent made for delicate fabrics. Avoid bleach, brighteners, strong enzymes, and fabric softeners because they can damage silk over time.
Yes, carefully. Use the lowest silk setting, turn the item inside out, and iron while slightly damp. Steaming from a short distance is often gentler than pressing directly.
Strong sunlight can fade color and weaken natural fibers. Dry and store silk in a shaded, well-ventilated place instead.
