Caring for Silk Bedding

Care of your silk bedding

Silk is a luxury fibre and you should always protect your silk filled duvets, toppers and pillows with a removable washable cover. If properly covered silk filled duvets, toppers and pillows should almost never require cleaning. Unlike traditional bedding Gingerlily duvets, toppers and pillows are free from dust mites and as you don’t perspire using them it should be unnecessary to thoroughly clean them; simply hang them out in the sun to air for a couple of hours once a year.

Silk filled duvets & toppers

You may spot clean the silk filled duvets and toppers but should they require a thorough cleaning they can be professionally laundered on a low temperature (30 °C) followed by cool tumble dry.
