Silk Comforter Care
Silk comforters are easy to care for: they only need to be dried under the sun twice a year to maintain their freshness. If more thorough cleaning is required, a silk comforter should be dry-cleaned, since the silk floss layers are damaged by contact with water.
Mulberry silk filled duvets are inhospitable to bed bugs, dust mites and immune to mold and fungi. This makes them naturally cleaner than down or synthetic filled duvets.

Famous quotes containing the words silk, comforter and/or care:
“A single strand of silk does not make a thread, nor a single tree a forest.”
—Chinese proverb.
“Never does one feel oneself so utterly helpless as in trying to speak comfort for great bereavement. I will not try it. Time is the only comforter for the loss of a mother.”
—Jane Welsh Carlyle (1801–1866)
“Feeling needy—mistaking vulnerability for weakness—doesn’t fit in with our image of what being a mother is all about. If we are needy, how can we care well for a much needier baby? There is a widespread feeling that we have to do it all alone, and if we don’t know something, or can’t manage it, or, heaven forbid, don’t want to, there is something lacking in our makeup.”
—Sally Placksin (20th century)
