Do Silk Duvets/Comforters Have A Distinctive Odour?

by new a 20 Jan 2025

Silk has a unique odor due to sericin, a protein found in silkworms. The more refined the silk, the less sericin it contains, but even the highest quality silk still has about 10%-15% sericin. This odor may be mistaken for chemicals, but rest assured, none of our silk products have come into contact with any harmful chemicals during any stage of their production. Sericin, on the other hand, has some great health benefits such as being anti-oxidant and UV-resistant.

When unpacking silk, the odor is strongest as there's no place for it to dissipate. It usually only takes a short period of time before the smell becomes barely noticeable. If you find the smell too strong to bear, hang our products in an area with good air circulation for a few days and wait for the smell to dissipate before using them. Do NOT use strong cleaning agents such as bleach, as it can damage the natural properties of silk and reduce product lifespan.
