Your bedroom is your sanctuary, and the key to a cozy, inviting haven lies in keeping your bedding fresh and clean. However, washing bedding can sometimes feel like navigating a maze of care labels and instructions. Fear not! In this comprehensive guide, we'll walk you through the best practices for washing your bedroom essentials, from bed sheets to duvet inserts, ensuring your sleep space stays pristine and comfortable.

You'll never struggle to figure out how to take care of your bedding with this guide. Say goodbye to the guesswork and hello to effortlessly clean and cozy nights.

Especially with the quality of products Ever Lasting provides, you'll want to make sure to treat every part of your bed with care to ensure its appearance and soft to the touch fabric are long lasting.

When it comes to your beddings, such as sheets, blankets, and duvet covers, a gentle touch goes a long way. To kickstart their journey into your bedroom oasis, give them a first wash of 10-15 minutes on a cold or warm setting, sans detergent. This initial rinse helps to prepare them for future washes and removes any initial residue.

For long-term care, opt for a 15-20 minute wash on a cold or warm setting with your preferred detergent. Avoiding extreme temperatures ensures the longevity of your bedding materials. Once washed, hand drying is highly recommended to preserve the fabric's quality and prevent any shrinkage.

Blankets come in various materials, from fleece to wool to down. Before washing, check the care label for specific instructions. Most fleece and cotton blankets are machine-washable, while wool and down blankets may require special care. Use a gentle detergent and cold water for wool blankets to prevent shrinkage, and air-dry them flat to maintain their shape. Down blankets typically need to be dry-cleaned to preserve their loft and insulation.

The beauty of duvet inserts and pillows lies in their natural materials and unbleached cotton, eliminating the need for a first wash. However, when it's time for their regular cleaning routine, treat them to a gentle 15-20 minute wash on a cold setting with your preferred detergent.

Similar to bedding, steer clear of extreme temperatures during the washing process to maintain the integrity of the materials. Hand drying is once again your best bet for preserving the fluffiness and shape of your duvet insert and pillows.

Pillow covers and duvet covers act as protective layers for your pillows and duvets, so it's essential to keep them clean. Most pillow covers and duvet covers are machine-washable, making them easy to care for. Wash them with similar colors in cold water and tumble dry on low heat or line dry to prevent shrinkage and preserve the fabric's integrity. If your covers feature delicate trimmings or intricate designs, consider hand washing or using a gentle cycle to avoid damage.
