Quick answer
Hand wash your Aurora Noir Silk Pajamas in cool water with a pH-neutral silk detergent, rinse gently, and dry them flat away from direct sun. Store them folded in a breathable cotton bag once fully dry.
Why black silk needs a gentler routine
Black silk shows two kinds of damage quickly: fading that turns the color grayish, and friction marks along seams and hems. Hot water, harsh detergent, and wringing speed up both. A short, cool hand wash protects the silk fibers and helps keep the black deep.
Aurora Noir Silk Pajamas are made of natural silk, which fits your body and moves with you in bed. That same flexibility means the fabric can stretch out of shape if it is hung wet or twisted. Treat the set as delicate, not tough.
When hand washing is not practical
If you cannot hand wash, use a mesh laundry bag and your machine's most delicate cycle with cold water and no spin, or the lowest spin available. Skip this only if your machine has no gentle cycle. Machine washing adds friction, so reserve it for occasional washes and hand wash most of the time.
Avoid bleach, enzyme detergents, and fabric softener. They can break down silk fibers or leave a coating that dulls the black. If a stain needs extra attention, spot-treat it before washing rather than scrubbing the whole garment.
Step-by-step care for Aurora Noir Silk Pajamas
- Check the care label and empty pockets: Read the label on your Aurora Noir set before washing. Empty pockets and close any buttons so the trim and seams do not catch. If the label gives a different instruction, follow it over this guide.
- Pretreat stains on the spot: Dab a small amount of pH-neutral silk detergent onto stains with a clean white cloth. Do not rub hard, and do not use bleach or enzyme cleaner. Test any detergent on an inside seam first if the stain is near the white trim.
- Fill a basin with cool water: Use cool water and a small amount of pH-neutral silk detergent. Swirl the water to mix, then submerge the pajamas and gently squeeze the suds through the fabric for about three to five minutes. Never pour detergent directly onto dry silk; it can leave a patchy mark.
- Rinse without wringing: Lift the set out and rinse in fresh cool water until no suds remain. Press the water out between your palms or roll the set in a clean towel. Do not twist or wring. Wringing is the most common cause of stretched seams and creases in silk.
- Dry flat away from heat and sun: Lay the shirt and trousers flat on a clean towel or drying rack, reshaping them gently. Keep them out of direct sunlight and away from radiators or dryers. Hanging wet silk stretches it; always dry flat.
- Store folded in a breathable bag: Once fully dry, fold the set and place it in a cotton or linen bag. Store it in a cool, dry drawer away from direct light. Avoid plastic bags and wire hangers. Make sure the pajamas are completely dry before storing to prevent mildew and fading.
