Caring for your silk bedding doesn't have to be a chore, and with just a little TLC, your silk sheets, shams, and other luxury items will last for many years to come. Each manufacturer of silk bedding will have a different recipe for how to care for their items. Since each manufacturer is the expert on which soaps and treatments work best with its particular products, it's important to follow their advice to the letter.
Dream Soft Bedware carries amazing silk sheets from DreamSacks. DreamSacks produces incredible silk goods, including sheets, shams, blankets, and even "sleep sacks." Caring for their seamless silk sheets is actually quite easy. You don't have to wash them by hand, and you won't have to drop them off at the dry cleaner. As long as you avoid harsh detergents and bleaches and stick to the gentle cycle, machine-washing is fine.
DreamSacks recommends a "silk friendly soap" such as Le Blanc Silk Wash (their top recommendation). Customers are asked to steer clear of Woolite, which DreamSacks considers too harsh for silk. With a gentle cleanser like Le Blanc Silk Wash, used with cool water on the gentle cycle, your DreamSacks sheets will wash up beautifully.
Too much heat is bad for silk. While DreamSacks encourages customers to dry their sheets in the dryer, they recommend drying them on low, and warn against over-drying. Since DreamSacks silk bedding is known for its durability and thickness (as well as its soft, flowing hand), their well-cared-for sheets should last you a very long time.
