Is washing at 30 degrees enough?

We recommend washing your silk essentials at 30 degrees, and no worries, this is enough to clean and kill bacteria. Due to the silver ions which are 99.7% antibacterial, your essentials will stay clean. Don't forget to use our washing bags and Ph-neutral wash detergent. Washing at a higher temperature can damage the silk and silver ion particles.
