Quick answer
Machine wash your Washable Silk Joggers on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent, then air dry flat to keep the fabric soft and the elastic waistband intact.
Why washable silk needs a gentle touch
Washable silk is treated to handle machine washing, but it still benefits from a careful routine. The elastic waistband and tapered cuffs on these joggers can lose their shape if exposed to high heat or aggressive agitation. A few simple precautions help the fabric stay smooth and the fit consistent over time.
How to wash and care for your Washable Silk Joggers
- Turn the joggers inside out: Before washing, turn the joggers inside out to protect the outer silk surface from friction against other garments or the machine drum.
- Use a gentle cycle with cold water: Select the delicate or gentle cycle on your machine and set the water temperature to cold. Hot water can weaken silk fibers and cause shrinkage. Always check the care label first. If in doubt, use a mesh laundry bag for extra protection.
- Choose a mild detergent: Use a detergent labeled for delicate fabrics or silk. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and enzyme-based stain removers, which can damage the silk fibers or leave residue.
- Skip the dryer — air dry flat: After the cycle ends, remove the joggers promptly. Lay them flat on a clean, dry towel or drying rack away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Do not wring or twist the fabric. Hanging wet silk joggers can stretch the elastic waistband and cuffs. Always dry flat.
- Iron on low if needed: If wrinkles appear after drying, iron the joggers on the lowest setting while they are still slightly damp. Place a pressing cloth between the iron and the silk to avoid scorching.
