Silk Care
How to Remove Stains From Silk Sheets Carefully
With silk, aggressive stain removal can create a bigger problem than the stain itself.
Editorial note: Product specifications attributed to a merchant are based on current manufacturer information. Silken Slumber does not claim hands-on testing unless explicitly stated.
Act promptly
Blot fresh spills without rubbing them deeper into the fabric.
Check the care label
Some stains or silk finishes may warrant professional cleaning rather than home treatment.
Avoid harsh chemicals
Do not improvise with bleach, strong alkalis or untested spot treatments.
Test cautiously
If the manufacturer permits a spot treatment, test in an inconspicuous area first.
Know when to stop
If color transfer, water marking or fiber damage begins, stop and seek professional advice.
