Because silk silk is not prone to static electricity, it will not absorb dust and dirt like chemical fiber quilts and wool quilts. It is very clean even if it has been used for several years. So as long as it is not a special situation, you don’t need to wash the quilt inside. First of all, it is recommended to send it to a dry cleaner for professional treatment. If you want to do it yourself, you can use neutral detergent solution (such as detergent for washing fruits and vegetables) to dry it at low temperature. Silk fibers are acid-resistant but not alkali-resistant. You should avoid washing with detergent and soap that is too alkaline to prevent the fiber from being damaged. Soap will also combine with calcium and magnesium ions in the water to form soap scald deposited on the silk fibers, making the silk yellow and coarse. Hand washing is the best. Generally, it is not suitable for machine washing, and it is even more important to brush. It is advisable to have a washing temperature below 30℃. First, stir the detergent in the water with your hands before putting it in the quilt. The soaking time in the water should not exceed five minutes. Rub and rinse it gently with your hands. Do not twist it after washing to prevent the silk threads from displaced or the silk surface from becoming shaved.

Silk quilts with silk as the inner quality have unique qualities and advantages such as warmth, fluffy and gentleness, breathable and health care.

Identification of silk quilts
High-quality silk quilts are certainly what everyone hopes to get, but now the products on the market are uneven. Many merchants sell various counterfeit and shoddy products under the banner of natural silk quilts, or induce consumers at low prices, seriously damaging the legitimate rights and interests of consumers. How to identify high-quality silk quilts has become a compulsory course before we purchase. Here are some small methods to make it easier and faster for everyone to identify:
1. Price.
The normal price of a silk quilt can be estimated by simple cost calculations. If the price is lower than its general cost, no matter how good its promotional advertisement is, it is best not to buy it, otherwise it is better to be deceived.
2. Tags.
Whether the product name, factory name and address, specifications and models, raw material identity, grade, net weight, etc. are complete and true. Generally, high-quality and guaranteed products must have the above information.
3. Appearance.
The high-quality silk has a pearly color, the color of the special-grade silk is milky white, and the first-grade silk has a slightly yellowish color. Have diffuse refraction of light. The silk road is clean and neat and orderly; while the silk with poor quality is pale, not shiny and moist, with more impurities, and the Silk Road is chaotic.
4. Touch.
High-quality silk has a smooth and delicate touch and is elastic, with a uniform texture without hard clumps and no static electricity; while inferior silk has a rough and flexible touch and no moisturized feeling. There are relatively many cocoon stems, cocoon blocks, cocoon pieces, and pupae molts.
5. Smell.
Natural silk has a special animal protein aroma. The silk quilt with inferior silk or artificial fiber core has no smell, or will have a chemical fiber odor. Silk with oily or moldy smell is inferior.
6. Burning.
When silk burns, there is white smoke and burnt smell from burning feathers. After burning, it becomes loose gray, such as after hand twisting, it becomes powder.
7. Look at the fluffy level. Silk quilts made of high-quality silk are generally very fluffy. Press it hard and it will rebound soon because pure silk has porous properties. If the silk quilt is like a quilt, it is very solid and solid, this kind of silk quilt is generally a fake product.
