Washing Up
With all of our bedding, we recommend cold washing as part of the prescribed bedding care. The natural fibers are delicate, so bedding sets and duvets should try to avoid heat.
Due to how the fabric stretches with every wash, it's important to limit how much you throw the sheets in to the washer. Washing your sheets should not be an every day thing. However, this does not mean that you shoud not wash your sheets at all ~ about 1-2 weeks is good.

For washing, we advise to use mild detergents with neutral pHs so they don't strip the colors or add any chemicals ~ about 2 tbsps. Too much soap can aggravate the fabrics and add too much build up. For a similar reason, an important bedding care tip is to avoid fabric softeners because they coat the fabric in a residue that can build up chemicals and allergens

Drying Down
When it comes to drying, it's important to use less heat as part of bedding care. It sounds counter-intuitive, but heat actually denatures some of the fibers and wears down the fabrics overtime. In terms of bedding care, we recommend either using low heat when drying or even air drying if possible.

- Wash sheets before sleeping on them the first time.
- Store sheets, when not in use, in a cool and dry place. Utilize cotton bags instead of plastic ones.
