Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I wish I listened to the other reviewer's advice that this pillow case is terrible after the first wash. I purposely ordered one pillow case instead of two, so I would not waste double the money if my pillow case came out bad after the first wash. I followed the manufacturer's instructions and used a mild detergent, gentle cycle, cold water, and line dry. I even have a front loading washer so there is no agitator; additionally, I put this in a delicate's bag and it still came out not silky like it was when I first got it. There is the faintest silky feeling to the pillowcase. This is not a cheap pillow case and I'm extremely disappointed my money was wasted. After researching other silk pillowcases, this one had some of the highest ratings and I liked that it was zippered and 25 Momme and the natural color. I'm curious if I steam cleaned this pillow case if it would remain as silky as it was when I originally received the product. The pillow case was packaged in a nice box with a hand written note, but that doesn't mean anything if the product is ruined after one wash and following the manufacturer's instructions.
