Next, the editor will introduce to you the situation about silk quilts, and see how to identify the authenticity of silk quilts and how to deal with dirty silk quilts, so as to provide reference for friends in need.
1. In what season should silk quilts be covered?
When is the best season to cover silk quilts? There are no specific rules for this. Currently, silk quilts on the market are divided into summer quilts, spring and autumn quilts, and winter quilts according to weight. They provide different temperatures for the human body according to the temperature in different seasons. Take the 180*220cm silk quilt as an example. They have different weights to adapt to different temperatures:
1. 180*220cm summer silk quilt ( Adaptable to temperatures above 25℃) Weight: 1-1.5 kg
2. 180*220cm spring and autumn silk quilt (adapted to temperatures 20-25℃ ) Weight: 2-3 pounds
3. 180*220cm spring and autumn silk quilt (adapted to temperature 10-20℃) Weight: 4 pounds
4. 180*220cm winter silk quilt (adapted to temperature 0-10℃) weight: 5-6 kg
5. 180*220cm winter silk quilt (adapted to temperatures below 0°C) Weight: 6-7 kg
Summary: In summary, silk quilts can be covered all year round. You only need to choose the appropriate weight to obtain good cold resistance and constant temperature.
2. How to identify the authenticity of silk quilts
1. Look at the appearance
The color of natural silk is light beige or off-white. Its color is mild and shiny. If the artificial silk is pure white or bleached, it looks shiny. The thickness of silk is also particular. The raised mulberry silk is very thin, only one tenth of the thickness of a human hair. The free-range ones are relatively thick, about a fraction of the thickness of a human hair. If they are made of chemical fiber, they can also be of such thickness, so you need to check carefully when purchasing.
2. Smell
Silk is a natural material, a protein fiber, rich in amino acids, has a faint smell of silkworm chrysalis, and is not harmful to the human body. If the silk quilt has no smell, it is probably fake. The newly purchased silk quilt only needs to be placed in a cool place to remove the odor.
3. Look at the logo
It must be produced by regular manufacturers. The product name, factory name, factory address, specifications, size, execution standard number, quality level, etc. should be marked in the logo. This guarantee is an important way for us to understand the quality of our products.
4. Touch feel
Silk feels delicate and can be broken like skin, with no hard clumps. If the silk is folded and pressed hard, the rebound speed will be much slower than that of ordinary fibers.
3. How to deal with dirty silk
1. Dry cleaning shop
We all know that silk quilts are made of natural silk. If they are not cleaned properly It is very likely that the silkiness and fluffiness will decrease, which may even affect future use. Therefore, the easiest way is to send it to a dry cleaner for cleaning. They have professional cleaning methods for silk quilts, and the charging standard is 50-100 yuan/piece.

2. Cleaning at home
I believe that most people are not willing to spend money to Cleaning silk quilts in dry cleaners can usually be done at home. If only the quilt cover of the silk quilt is dirty, you can remove and wash the quilt cover separately. However, if the core of the silk quilt is dirty, it should be wiped locally with neutral detergent and dried in the sun. It must not be thrown into the washing machine for cleaning. In serious cases, the quilt will be directly scrapped.
3���Daily maintenance
Newly purchased silk quilts have a smell of silkworm chrysalises and need to be placed in a ventilated place to dry. During daily use, it should also be dried every two weeks to prevent moisture and mildew. Remember not to expose it to the sun. After drying, pat it with your hands to keep the silk fluffy.
