✦ Gentle machine wash on cold or warm to maintain softness for cotton sateen, or cold for jersey knit to avoid shrinking.

✦ Turn pillowcases and quilt covers inside out.

✦ Use eco-friendly detergents and use a bit less than the box says.

✦ Don’t use bleach or fabric softener as it coats the fibres and damages them.

✦ On the line is best but otherwise tumble dry on a low heat setting for a longer time.

✦ Give them a good shake to reduce wrinkles between washing and drying.

✦ For a more casual relaxed look, no ironing is needed.

✦ For a wrinkle-free look, turn them inside out and use a warm iron.

✦ Make sure your bedding is completely dry before storing.

✦ Don’t store in plastic as it needs to breathe and will smell damp.

✦ Store them out of sunlight, in a cool, dry area – use the drawstring bag to keep everything organised.
