Care Tips

Maintaining the beauty and longevity of your Silkye clothing and accessories is essential to ensure they continue to look as vibrant as the day you purchased them. With proper care, you can enjoy your unique pieces for years to come. This guide provides straightforward and effective care tips tailored to Silkye's hand-painted and sublimated products.

Care for Hand-Painted Items

Hand-painted garments are not just pieces of clothing; they are works of art. Follow these tips to keep them in pristine condition:

Washing

• Hand Wash: Always wash hand-painted items in cold water using a mild detergent.
• Avoid Rubbing: Be careful not to scrub directly on the painted areas to prevent damage.

Drying

• Air Dry: Allow your garments to air dry naturally. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading and to preserve the vibrancy of the colors.

Ironing

• Low Temperature: If ironing is necessary, use a low heat setting. Always iron from the reverse side to protect the paint.

Care for Sublimated Items

Sublimated garments offer a different kind of durability but still require specific care to maintain their quality.

Washing

• Machine Wash: Use a gentle cycle with cold water and wash with similar colors to prevent bleeding.

Drying

• Drying Options: You can either machine dry at low temperatures or allow them to air dry.

Ironing

• Iron with Care: If needed, iron on a low setting, preferably from the inside.

Care for Accessories

Silkye accessories, including bags and mugs, also require special attention to maintain their appearance.

Fabric Bags

• Hand Wash Only: Clean your fabric bags by hand using cold water and mild detergent.
• Air Dry: Like garments, allow them to dry outside, avoiding harsh sunlight.

Mugs

• Dishwasher Safe: While mugs can go in the dishwasher, we recommend hand washing to ensure the design lasts longer.

By adhering to these care tips, you can ensure that your Silkye products remain beautiful and functional. These small efforts will help you enjoy your wearable art for much longer. If you have any specific questions about caring for a particular item, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
