• As it comes into direct contact with the skin, we recommend washing bed linen once a week.
   
• Wash bed linen separately from other items to protect the material. Remove promptly once the cycle has finished to avoid any colour transfer and shake to reduce creases.
   
• The wash temperature identified on the care label is a reference to the highest temperature the bed linen can withstand; consider washing at a lower temperature to save energy.

• When possible, line dry sheets out of direct sunlight. This will help with the level of creasing and ironing needed.
   
• When using a tumble dryer, choose a low-heat setting to protect fibres and prevent wrinkles.
   
• Be careful not to over dry in a tumble dryer, as this will weaken their natural fibres and potentially cause them to deteriorate.
   
• For best results, take sheets out of the dryer while damp to iron. If the bed linen has already dried, dampen the fabric thoroughly before.

• Regularly launder white sheets to help maintain brightness and freshness.
   
• Ensure your washing machine is totally clean. If your washing machine has a ‘Drum clean’ or ‘Tub clean’ setting, it is a cleaning cycle designed to remove detergent residue and build up.
   
• Wash similar colours together to avoid any colour transfers. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can dull the finish.
   
• Some sheets will allow the use of non-chlorine bleach only and others no bleach at all, depending on the finishing process, type of fibre and colour. It’s usually better to avoid chlorine bleaches, as these can have a chemical reaction to protein stains and turn them more yellow. Check individual care labels for guidance.
   
• Treat stains quickly. This will increase your chances of removing them, rather than letting them settle into the fibres.
   
• Do not overload your washing machine – this can prevent it from cleaning whites properly, as items cannot move as freely around the drum to remove dirt.
