Cosmetics are another common stain happened, a short rest
on your silk linen,
and when you turn over in bed, your lipstick may easily kiss your silk pillowcase. How
to wash them?

Try the laundry soap you use to regularly clean the
sheets but in a little more concentrated form. If that does not work, try
ammonia but be careful if the sheets are a dark color. Test in an inconspicuous
place first and use as little as ammonia as possible. Start with 1 part ammonia
to 3 parts water. If that doesn’t work increase the strength of the ammonia but
never use anything stronger than 1 part ammonia to 1 part water.

After all, care for not “kiss” your silk sheets that would be the best
solution.
