CARING FOR ALMAYNE SILK


  • Silk sees it's longevity in hand washing and dry cleaning. Almayne Silk Hair products are of the highest quality so they are machine washable, however remember they are still silk and need as much care as we can give them.

    Your Ultimate Heatless Curling Rod thankfully, comes with a complimentary Essential Almayne Delicates Bag. So the bag you find your product delivered in, simply use that to wash your curling rod.

    For your your Regal Silk Pillowcase we have additional wash bags available to purchase. Hand washing will ultimately be the best option for your silk pillowcase. The gentler you wash this the better and the longer it will keep its sheen.

    Use ph neutral liquid detergent. Silk is a natural fibre and washing in a solution that’s too acidic or alkaline can cause the silk to harden in a single wash. If you can't find a detergent that specifies ph level then just go for one that specifies delicates. Do not use bleach products. Do not use fabric softer.

    Cold water wash only. Even just slightly above 30 degrees Celsius or 85 degrees Fahrenheit can change silk dramatically. The safest method if your machine doesn't specify exact heat is either cold or just one level above cold.

    Do not tumble dry any of your Almayne products. Silk and high temperatures are not compatible. Air drying silk on a flat surface is best.

    Iron only on the lowest heat setting and while the silk is slightly less than dry. Always use a 'press cloth' between the iron and your silk. Never place the heat directly on the silk.
