“He has been wearing them for 24 hours now and all I can say is WOW! His skin
is already so much clearer, he has had a full night’s sleep,
and very little scratching this morning. I honestly didn't
think I would see the effects so quickly.”

DermaSilk® Wear
and Care Instructions
To get the real benefits from wearing DermaSilk Therapeutic Clothing,
please follow carefully these instructions :
If
you find that you have to wash your DermaSilk
in a washing machine please wash it on a delicate
cycle and preferably in a net bag to prevent
it from tangling with other garments!

Washing Dermasilk - Instruction video to demonstrate
how to safely wash DermaSilk Therapeutic Clothing
in a washing machine
Hand
Washing Dermasilk - This video shows how you
can fit hand washing of DermaSilk clothing around
bathtime.
In
hard water areas it is recommended that DermaSilk
Eczema clothing be soaked in Bicarbonate to remove
hardness. This video demonstrates how to do it.
DermaSilk
Therapeutic Clothing is designed to be lightweight
and body forming. It needs to be close fitting
and in contact with the skin at all times to be
fully effective.
As with all natural fibres, DermaSilk will last longer if 2 or more garments are rotated in use rather than a single garment being washed and worn continuously.
When
used in combination with medical creams and ointments,
care should be taken to ensure that the medication
is fully absorbed into the skin before the DermaSilk
clothing is worn.
Do
not use fabric softeners or conditioners.
Do
notbleach DermaSilk clothing as it will damage the structure of the fabric.
DermaSilk clothing should
preferably be hand washed using a mild non-biological
(enzyme free) detergent, rinsed thoroughly and laid
flat to dry on a towel
Have
a look at SkinSalveation washing powder which is a delicate, filler-free detergent designed to effectively clean without
fuss.
DermaSilk can be machine
washed at 30 degrees providing it is placed in a net
bag to protect the seams from tangling with other washing.
Do not tumble dry DermaSilk as silk prefers to be humid rather than bone dry..
Use a cool steam iron
if necessary. If the garment goes out of shape
it can normally be restored
using this method.
In areas with hard
water the softness of DermaSilk can be restored
as follows: After every 10 washes, soak DermaSilk clothing
in a solution of 2 tablespoons of bicarbonate of
soda
per litre of water overnight to maintain the softness
of the fabric, then wash as instructed. This method can also be used for stain removal.
Please note that the
antimicrobial agent (AEM 5772/5) is bonded permanently into the silk and will not leach out of the fabric, even after numerous washes.
