Aftercare and Washing Tips for Queen Bee Silk Pillowcases
1. Turn the silk pillowcase inside out and place it inside a mesh laundry bag before washing. This will protect it from getting tangled with other items and avoid damage from sharp elements like zippers or hooks.
2. Wash your silk pillowcase with other delicate items using a gentle cycle and cold water temperature. Avoid using high temperatures, as it can cause the silk to lose its luster and strength. Keep the water temperature at 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit) or below.
3. Use a pH neutral detergent specifically designed for delicate fabrics. This will help preserve the softness and silky texture of your silk pillowcase. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals that can damage the delicate fibers.
4. When drying your silk pillowcase, air-drying is the best option. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can cause fading. Do not use a drying machine, as it can lead to shrinkage or damage.
Ironing Tips for Queen Bee Silk Pillowcases
1. Before ironing, ensure that the surface of your iron is clean to prevent any unwanted stains on your silk pillowcase.
2. Set your iron to the "silk" setting if available. If not found, use the lowest heat setting possible (approximately 120 degrees Celsius or 248 degrees Fahrenheit) to prevent any damage to the delicate fabric.
3. To avoid any potential damage to the sheen side of the silk pillowcase, turn it inside out before ironing. Iron on the back surface using gentle and smooth movements.
Optional Tip
If you want an extra layer of protection, place a thin sheet of cotton between the iron and the silk fabric. This will act as a barrier and prevent direct contact, reducing the risk of accidental damage. Remember, following these aftercare and washing tips will help maintain your pillowcases, ensuring they continue to provide the ultimate comfort and benefits for your hair and skin. “ the better you look after your Queen Bee silk pillowcase, the better it can look after you”
