Check the Label: Always review specific care instructions and symbols on your bedding’s tags and packaging before washing.

Always Prewash: Washing your new bedding before its first use enhances its softness and gives you that fresh, clean feel when you curl up.

Never Overload Your Machine: Wash large items like duvets, duvet covers, and fitted sheets separately from each other to ensure a full, even wash 一 and to avoid damaging your machine.

Wash With Similar Fabrics: When washing multiple items together, avoid washing different fibers and fabrics together, as the weaves and fibers can cause friction and become damaged in the wash.

Turn Inside Out: We recommend turning your duvet covers and pillowcases inside out before washing to protect the surface fibers and maintain color vibrancy. Keep zippers half-way open so that both sides get fully cleaned, and to avoid putting strain on the zipper while spinning.

Avoid Agitators: For larger items like pillows and duvets, wash in large drum and/or commercial washing machines without an agitator to avoid your items being damaged in the wash.

Cold Water & Gentle Cycle: Use cold water and a mild, bleach-free liquid detergent to avoid staining or damaging your fibers. Avoid washing in warm water, as this can cause shrinkage and set certain stains.

Skip the Fabric Softener: Avoid fabric softeners as they may leave a waxy coating on natural fibers, which can reduce their durability, breathability, and colour retentiveness. For a natural alternative, add 1 cup of white vinegar or ½ cup of salt to the cycle to lock in color and prevent pilling.

Avoid Powder Residue: If using a powder detergent, dilute it with water first to prevent scratchy residue from building up.

Washing With Hard Water: In regions with hard water or well water, add water softeners or boosters to the wash to protect sheets from water damage.

Hang Dry: When possible, air dry your linens away from direct sunlight. This prevents static and heat from damaging the fibers, extending the life of the fabric.

Tumble Dry: If using a dryer, use a low or "no heat" setting to prevent fraying and stretching. Give your bedding a shake before drying to prevent twisting or clumping.

Use Dryer Balls: Swap dryer sheets for Wool Dryer Balls. They improve drying efficiency and reduce wrinkles and static without the chemical buildup that damages natural fibers, and are safer for your dryer.

Avoid Overdrying: Putting your sheets in the dryer for too long can potentially damage the fibers of your sheets. Once they’re fully dry, fold them or dress them on your bed.

Post-Drying: After drying, immediately fold or put your sheets onto your bed to reduce wrinkling. You can also touch up your sheets with an iron to help reduce wrinkles and minimize pilling over time.

Oil Stains: Treat spots as soon as possible with a grease-cutting agent, and scrub gently before a standard wash.

Chemical Stains: Some lotions, acne creams, and hair products contain ingredients (like benzoyl peroxide) that can act like bleach or leave permanent staining.

Always Wash ASAP: The longer you wait to clean a stain, the more time it has to become permanent. Always treat your stains as soon as you’re able.

Avoid Heat Setting: When washing a stain, avoid washing or drying on high heat, as this can potentially set the stain and prevent it from being removed.

Low Heat Touch-ups: To smooth out wrinkles, iron on a low to mid-range setting. The heat can help reduce pilling and can restore the sheen of certain fabrics.

Rotate Weekly: We recommend owning three sets of sheets per bed. This way you can easily have one on the bed, one ready to wash, and one in the closet that can go on your bed at a moment’s notice.

Be Gentle With Bedding: Avoid contact with rough skin and nails to prevent thinning and tearing, and avoid putting heavy objects on your bed to prevent additional wear and tear.

Use Protectors: Using pillow protectors and mattress protectors made from the same material as your sheets helps everything work together. This allows air to flow properly and prevents heat from getting trapped, keeping your bed comfortable and breathable.
