How do I keep the benefits of silk long-lasting?

Okay, so you already had your silk sheet, with a nice color, and the next step is what you do with the silk and how to take care of it. Because if you don't apply some proper maintenance to your silk bed sheet, you might lose the benefits over time. Along with this article, we will guide you with tips, the common struggles of silk users, the solution that will make your silk sheet long-lasting, and the benefits.

How to keep the silk sheet on a bed? The most common struggle for silk sheet users is that the silk sheet is not placed nicely on the bed. It is happening because the characteristic of silk is that it is soft, so it slips easily on the bed's surface. Well, that's quite frustrating when you have to adjust your silk sheet every time you sit on the bed. But worry no more, because there are several things that you can do to keep your silk sheet in place. The easiest way to do it is by purchasing a fitted silk sheet with a rubber band around the corner to help it fit the bed. THXSILK has several options for high-quality fitted silk sheets in any color. We also have a bed set collection that includes a fitted silk sheet, a silk blanket, a silk duvet cover, and a silk pillowcase. But if you already have your silk sheet without a rubber and are not willing to get a new fitted one, don't worry. It's not the end of the world. The option that we have is to use a pair of suspenders.

Look again at your cabinet and try to remember if you have a pair of suspenders that you haven't worn for a long time. With the suspender, you can connect the sheet to your bed. Another thing is doing a DIY fitted sheet. You can buy a rubber band and sew it around the corner of your sheet. If you can't sew it yourself, you can ask the nearby tailor to sew it for you. So the key to making your sheet fit is applying the elastic material. But enough with rubber. Is there anything we can do to fix this problem? Well, maybe not as effective as a rubber band, but in this case, you can apply the friction theory you learned in your physics class. The silk sheet can slip easily on your mattress because mattresses are usually made of nylon. Silk and nylon are materials that have soft surfaces. So, to have a better grip, you need a rough surface between them. You can place another linen, such as cotton, between your silk sheet and mattress as the rough material. So those are the things you can do to prevent your silk sheet from slipping off your bed. You can also take some precautions for sheet sliding before purchasing, such as ensuring that you buy the exact size before purchasing a sheet, and you can also ask if the sheet has a fitting tool like a rubber band or zipper.

How do we take care of the silk sheet? Should we dry-clean it? Of course, dry cleaning the silk sheet will be a better option compared to washing the regular one in the washing machine. However, as long as you use silk-friendly detergent, a silk sheet, especially a high-quality one, can be washed in the washing machine. Silk is a natural product, so washing it with a natural detergent is better. And do not ever be worried that your silk sheet will shrink after washing. Good quality silk will be just fine after a lot of washing processes, as long as the silk is good quality and you wash the silk sheet correctly.
