Hand Wash: All Empress Silk duvet covers, sheets,
pillow cases and apparel are washable. The preferred method is hand
laundered in lukewarm water with mild soap or detergent using a gentle
hand movement. Do not soak too long. Rinse in cool water and roll silk
in a towel to remove excess water. Never wring water from silk.
Machine Wash: Larger items can be machine washed. Wash in
cold water with mild detergent,
no bleach,
on a gentle cycle. Wash silk separate from other items and do not
overload washer to avoid any unnecessary wear to the fabric. Silk dries
quickly. Tumble dry on very low heat only if necessary.
Dry Clean: Comforters are dry clean only.
Ironing:
Silk has a resistance to creasing or wrinkling, most will smooth out
naturally. If ironing should become necessary, press the damp silk on
the reverse side with an iron set on low. Silk charmeuse (satin)
requires a cool iron to bring back sheen.
Note: These are general care guidelines for silk. Please refer to specific care instructions on each label.
