Does anyone have experience of wash a silk sleeping bag liner?
By janit0r

I think handwash in Woolite - if it's ok for fine wool it's ok for silk. Keep water hand warm.

Use luke-warm water. This helps to disperse the cleaner.

I started out a few years ago using a silk sleeping bag liner, expecting it to add warmth to my 30* bag and to keep it clean.

I use a REI store brand silk liner. It doesn't add noticeably to warmth, but as others have said, it helps keep the bag cleaner longer. It's a lot easier to wash a silk liner in my bathtub or sink, than going to a laundromat every few trips (They don't seem to exist on the Eastside!) with a commercial high capacity washer that can handle a bag.

I don't know about silk, but I spend a lot of time sleeping in a sleeping bag and like to use a thin 'flannel' liner. It's easy to wash under 'field' conditions and goes a long ways toward keeping my sleeping bag clean and less smelly.

I would recommend first giving it a good airing, after using a damp cloth to remove any dirt. Washing should be a last resort, not something that is done regularly.

I always use one but mainly for keeping my bag clean rather than warmth.
