What are the benefits of silk pajamas? How to wash them?

As people's living standards improve, they pay more and more attention to food, clothing, housing and transportation. Silk is the essence of Chinese culture and is well known to people all over the world because of the Silk Road. In ancient times, only emperors could wear silk clothing. Nowadays, a pair of silk pajamas represents a kind of life taste.

Benefits of Silk Pajamas

The characteristics of silk pajamas are strong comfort, good moisture absorption and release, sound absorption and dust absorption. Silk is composed of protein fibers, with a soft and smooth texture and delicate touch. Compared with other fiber fabrics, the friction coefficient with human skin is only 7.4%, so when human skin touches silk products, it often produces a soft and delicate feeling.

Silk pajamas have natural moisture absorption and release properties, which are unmatched by other artificial fibers. Due to its porosity, silk can absorb gas gaps. Silk can absorb moisture or emit moisture in the air, so it can absorb moisture in a humid environment and release moisture in a dry environment. Therefore, in addition to its self-adjusting ability, it can also help human skin or other silk products retain a certain amount of moisture; if you wear silk clothing in summer, it can quickly dissipate sweat and heat, and it is very breathable, making people feel extremely cool.

Silk has a unique health function. Silk fiber contains 18 essential amino acids for the human body, which are almost the same as those in human skin, so it is also known as the "second skin" of humans. At the same time, tryptophan and tyrosine in silk protein can absorb ultraviolet rays, prevent ultraviolet radiation, enhance the vitality of epidermal skin cells, promote skin cell metabolism, and have a good auxiliary therapeutic effect on certain skin diseases. This natural function that artificial silk cannot achieve also lays the foundation for the precious value of silk products.

Washing Silk Pajamas

Silk clothing is made of protein-based, tender health-care fiber. It is not suitable to be rubbed on rough items or washed in a washing machine. The clothes should be soaked in cold water for 5-10 minutes, and gently rubbed with a special silk detergent, synthetic low-foaming washing powder or neutral soap. The colored silk clothing can be rinsed repeatedly in clean water.

Drying silk pajamas

After washing, it is not suitable to be exposed to the sun, and it is even more unsuitable to use a hot dryer. Generally, it should be placed in a cool and ventilated place to dry. Because the ultraviolet rays in the sun can easily cause silk fabrics to turn yellow, fade, and age. Therefore, silk pajamas should not be twisted to remove water after washing. They should be gently shaken out and hung out to dry with the reverse side facing outwards. Dry until 70% dry before ironing or shaking flat.
