100% Mulberry Silk

Mulberry Silk, also known as Mulberry Silk, is the most famous silk in the world. This silk is produced by the Bombyx mori silkworm, which mainly feeds on the leaves of the mulberry tree. This also explains the name.

Mulberry Silk is known as one of the strongest natural fibers in the world and offers an exceptional combination of softness, strength and durability. This makes it highly sought after and recognized worldwide as one of the most high-quality and luxurious types of silk produced.

Maintenance of silk

To wash

All Silky Baby products are made of high-quality silk. To ensure a long lifespan, it is important that the products are properly maintained.

It is best to wash the products briefly (1-2 minutes) by hand in lukewarm water. If you use the washing machine, choose a delicate or wool wash program at 30 degrees. We recommend spinning at the lowest possible speed. Preferably use a detergent specifically for delicate laundry (wool and silk) with an almost neutral pH value and laundry with similar colors.

The washing symbols on the label:

Washing machine: 30 degrees, delicate wash (delicate fabrics)
Do not bleach: do not use bleach
Ironing: iron at a low temperature
Do not tumble dry: should not be placed in the tumble dryer
Professional cleaning: professional chemical cleaning (P)

To smoothe

All Silky Baby products are made of high-quality silk. To ensure a long lifespan, it is important that the products are properly maintained.

Set your iron to a low temperature, often referred to as the silk or delicate setting. The iron should not be too hot to avoid burning.
Make sure the silk is damp. You can do this by spraying it lightly with water or by not leaving it completely dry after washing.
Place a thin cotton cloth between the iron and the silk to avoid direct contact.
Iron the silk gently, taking care not to leave the iron in one spot for too long.
