How do I care for my Silk Bed Linen?
- Silk fibres are durable and stronger than other natural fibres; however Silk does lose strength temporarily when it becomes wet.
- Use a gentle detergent that does not contain enzymes, brighteners or bleaches. Sonett Olive Washing Liquid for Wool and Silk is available to purchase from our website. This washing liquid is extremely mild and gentle to your skin, and therefore suitable for many people suffering from allergies. Alternatively you can use products such as Earth Choice Wool & Delicate Wash or Australian Pure Wool Wash.
Shampoo can also be used on your Silk Bed Linen. Ensure the shampoo is alkaline free and that it does not contain ingredients such as wax and petroleum, or their derivatives, as these products will leave residue on your silk and may cause oily spots.
A brittle texture and a matt finish are indicators of alkali damage. This can be minimised by rinsing with vinegar. - Avoid drying your Silk in direct sunlight as this can damage the fibres and cause the fabric to discolour.
- 1/4 cup of white vinegar can be added to a clean rinse. Ensure the vinegar is completely rinsed out on a final rinse. This will neutralise any soap residue and restore the silk's natural lustre.
- HAND WASHING. Silk bed linen can be handwashed in lukewarm or cold water using a mild soap or a gentle shampoo. Rinse well.
- MACHINE WASHING. Silk bed linen can be washed on the delicate cycle of the washing machine in cool or lukewarm (up to 40 degrees) water using a mild soap or gentle shampoo. Gently spin.
- Silk dries quickly. If possible, dry Silk naturally, away from direct sunlight. Silk will suffer from the friction and lack of humidity in a clothes dryer. Using a clothes dryer is not recommended. When still damp, coll iron with gentle steam on reverse side of sheets.
Take Care
Rough skin on feet, broken or jagged nails and even strong hair on legs can cause wear and tear and pull threads on Silk Sheets, which leads to pilling. We are not responsible for the wear and tear of your sheets should this occur.
Protein based stains such as blood can be removed by sprinkling with Baking Powder, moistening with water and gently wiping clean.
How do I care for my Silk Quilt?
We recommend regular airing of your silk quilt and dry cleaning if necessary. Please keep your silk out of direct sunlight as sunlight damages the natural fibres.

How warm is my quilt?
Our quilts are similar in warmth to woollen quilts of 250gsm and have a nominal warmth of 2 ½ blankets. A single quilt is ideal for between seasons and by adding a second you have a perfect combination for winter sleeping. The thermal resistance is 4.7. This indicates that it is ideal for most people, both men and women between the heat of summer and the cold of winter. By adding a second quilt, the tog (thermal gradient) rating becomes 8.1. This fits perfectly into the range of 7, where men are comfortable in winter, and 9, where women are comfortable in winter. The warmth to weight ratio is 90 and similar to wool, however silk has a superior feel and drape.
