On winter nights, a soft and comfortable silk quilt is a dream sleep companion for many people. But how do you clean this gorgeous silk quilt so that it lasts a long time, while keeping it soft and warm?Let's uncover the secret together!
1. Know your silk quilt
Before we start cleaning, we first need to understand our silk quilts. A silk quilt is a quilt made of silk fibers, which has the characteristics of lightness, softness, and warmth. However, silk is a natural material that is susceptible to various factors, so extra care is required when washing.
Second, choose the right washing label
Each quilt has its own "identification" – a washing label. This label usually indicates the material of the silk quilt, the washing method and the maintenance method. Be sure to read the instructions on the label carefully to avoid damage to the quality of the quilt due to the wrong washing method.
3. Hand wash or machine wash?
Depending on the instructions on the wash label, we can choose to wash it by hand or machine wash. Generally speaking, most silk quilts can be washed by hand, but it should be noted that hand washing should be done with cold water and using a special silk detergent. For machine washing, choose a gentle washing mode and use a laundry bag to protect the silk quilt.
Fourth, the washing steps are explained in detail
Pre-treatment stains: For stains on silk quilts, you can first gently absorb them with absorbent paper towels or towels, then apply a detergent specially designed for silk to the back of the stains, and finally gently wipe them off with a clean towel.
Soaking: Soak the silk quilt in warm water for 10-15 minutes, taking care to use a special silk detergent and avoid using bleach or detergents with strong acids and alkalis. Gentle scrubbing: When washing by hand, scrub with gentle pressure and avoid rubbing too hard or using a rough brush. When machine washing, choose a gentle wash mode and use a laundry bag to protect the silk comforter. Rinse multiple times: After scrubbing, rinse several times to ensure that the detergent residue is completely removed. Drying: When drying, it should not be directly exposed to the sun, but should be placed in a cool and ventilated place to dry. This prevents ultraviolet rays from sunlight from damaging the structure of the silk fibers.
5. Maintenance tips
Storage: Pay attention to ventilation and dryness when storing silk quilts to avoid heavy objects and scratching the silk quilts when children play. Regular drying: It is recommended to dry the silk quilt at regular intervals to keep it dry and elastic. However, it should be noted that you should not be exposed to the sun for a long time when drying. Avoid washing too often: Although silk quilts can be washed, frequent washing is not recommended. Generally speaking, it is enough to wash it once every year or two. Use a detergent for silk: The use of detergents specially designed for silk can better protect the silk fibers from damage. Pay attention to the water temperature: Whether it is hand washed or machine washed, use cold or warm water, and avoid using hot water to cause deformation or shrinkage of silk fibers. Replace it regularly: In order to maintain the softness and warmth of the silk quilt, it is recommended to replace the inner core with a new one after a certain period of use.
Dry regularly: It is recommended to dry the silk quilt at regular intervals to keep it dry and elastic. However, it should be noted that you should not be exposed to the sun for a long time when drying.
