1. Chemical inspection

It is an effective method to extract silk from any corner (not just the silk at the inspection port) and put it in 84 disinfectant to melt for a few seconds, which means it is silk, otherwise it is not silk.

2. Burning

Silk will smell like hair after burning. If there is no smell or other odor, it is not 1% silk quilt.

3. Color and feel

Mulberry silk is pearly white and shiny. When you touch it with your hand, it sticks to your hand, but fake silk doesn't.

4. Sample opening

Every silk quilt should have a sample opening, which is generally between 2 and 3 cm. If the cut is less than 2 cm, there is something wrong with the silk quilt.

5. Thermal insulation < P > More than 38% of the silk is hollow inside, and its main component is protein, which has good thermal insulation and air permeability. Therefore, when the authentic silk quilt is just covered, it will not feel as cold as the quilt made of chemical fiber, inferior silk and cotton. When shopping, you can try to feel the warmth of the quilt with your hands.

6. Static electricity

Silk is a bad conductor of electricity. Pull open the zipper on the edge of the quilt cover, and quickly rub the exposed part of the zipper mouth for about one minute, and then let it suck up scraps of paper with a width of about .3cm to 1cm. If it can suck up scraps of paper, it means that silk is mixed with a lot of chemical fibers.

Extended information:

Washing method:

1. There are three layers of silk quilt, namely silk, inner sleeve, quilt cover and silk+inner sleeve, which are the so-called quilt cores and cannot be washed (except the cold quilt with washable silk). The quilt cover can be removed and washed.

2. If the quilt core inside is accidentally stained, it can be partially wiped in the shade with neutral washing liquid to dry. If you can't handle it yourself, you can go to the dry cleaner for local treatment.

3. Because the protein molecules of silk will undergo photochemical reaction in sunlight, which will cause yellowing and brittle damage, it can only be dried in the shade, not exposed to sunlight. Silk wrinkles easily, so ironing after washing is necessary.

4. Hand washing is better than machine washing, let alone brushing. The washing temperature is below 3℃.
