Four steps to care for your silk.

Simple, gentle care to help preserve the softness and lustre of your SOMNELA essentials.

01
Wash
By hand or on a delicate machine cycle at 30°C maximum, using silk detergent. A laundry bag is recommended to protect the fabric.
02
Rinse
Rinse with cool water without rubbing, twisting or wringing the silk.
03
Dry
Air-dry in the shade, away from heat. Fine silk without foam may dry in around 1–2 hours depending on conditions.
04
Iron
If suitable, iron inside out on low heat, without steam, while the silk is still very slightly damp.

Accessories with inner foam must be hand-washed and need longer to dry completely.

CARING FOR YOUR ESSENTIALS

Every creation deserves its own care.

Each accessory has its own features. Discover the simple steps to preserve its beauty and comfort.

01 — SILK WITHOUT FOAM

Silk essentials

Pillowcases · Scrunchies · Headbands · Sleep bonnets

Hand-wash or machine-wash on a delicate cycle at 30°C maximum, using silk detergent. A protective laundry bag is recommended. Air-dry in the shade. Drying may take around 1–2 hours depending on the item and conditions.

SOMNELA CARE ADVICE

Your silk care questions.

Simple answers to care for your essentials with confidence.

Can SOMNELA silk be machine-washed?

Yes, silk accessories without foam can be machine-washed on a delicate cycle at 30°C maximum. Use silk detergent and preferably a protective laundry bag. Foam-filled items must be hand-washed.

Which detergent should I use for silk?

Choose a gentle detergent specifically suitable for silk. Avoid bleach and strong enzyme-based detergents.

Can I add white vinegar when rinsing?

White vinegar is an optional tip, not a requirement. Only use a very small amount, well diluted, if the product instructions allow it. Never apply it undiluted.

How long does silk take to dry?

Fine SOMNELA silk without foam may dry in around 1–2 hours, depending on the item, humidity and room temperature. Foam-filled accessories take longer.

Should silk be completely dry before ironing?

No. If the item can be ironed, it may be easier while almost dry but still slightly damp. Iron inside out at low temperature without steam.

How should I care for the 3D mask and heatless curler?

Wash by hand only, without twisting or strongly compressing the foam. Dry flat away from heat and use again only when the filling is completely dry.
