We have tried many ways to reduce the shrinkage of the silk fabrics by checking the shrinkage before cutting. The maximum shrikage that can be happened to our product is 3% therefore, when customers water-wash the silk bedding, it will not miss-shape. So please just water-wash it either by hand or machine
All of the dyestuffs we use are imported from EU(European Union) supliers. Wellen provide good quality and environment friendly dye stuff, with cautious handling and properly dyed fibers and fabrics. The color fastness is excellent. Please do not worry that the color will be fading. however, we still suggest you to wash the similar color products in the same time.
Actually, silk is surrounded by sericin(kind of protein) and filament inside. The sericin is the major reason why the silk gets crinkled easily. Traditionally people thought there were 24% silk sericin and 76% silk filament, but currently the experts had dicovered that inside the 76% silk filament there is still 11% silk sericin, wich is hard to remove. But we did remove 24% outside silk beddings remain in a good condition: shining and less crinkle after washing.
The protein fiber is like human skin, it is vulnerable with hot water and strong alkali. these are the major characters of the silk, and consumers should pay an extra attention to this point. So when you water wast the silk bedding, do not ever use hot water(more than 40°C). Do not use alkali to wash or to bleach since it can dissolve the silk, and deteriorate their strengh either. When it is really necessary to wash the beddings with alkali to remove special dirt, please after the applying, wash it with water gor several more times, to make sure that ther is none alkali remain one the silk. We suggest you to use acid liquid, such as vinegar to wash and balance the alkali
It is fine to tummble-dry te silk bedding in your washing machine, but do use low temperature. When it is 80% dry, take it out from the machine and iron it immediately.
You can iron the silk beddings from 150°F to 200°F, but do not hold your hot iron on the top of the silk for more than 5 seconds. Always keep the iron moving, so the silk will not be damaged. Please move the iron along the warp direction if you can recognize which side is the warp. This will increase the shining effect of the silk
Actually we do not suggest our consumers to dry-clean the silk beddings for several reasons: beside the cost itself is expensive it is inconvenient and unhealthy, since the dry clean shop is using chemical ingredients to wash the silk, then it may damage the silk. Not mentioning if the chemical residues remain on the silk bedding, whick may cause impact to your health.
