How to Wash Cotton Sheets and Duvet Covers, Cotton Percale and Cotton Satin

Jul 28, 2023

Regarding machine washing, we recommend programs for cotton garments or delicate garments. Programs for delicate garments are suitable for items with more sensitive fabrics such as cotton satin, while cotton programs are better suited for sturdy fabrics like cotton itself.

White sheets can be washed at higher temperatures, up to 60°, because the white color is less sensitive to pigment release. However, for colored or printed sheets, it is better to limit the temperature to a maximum of 40° to avoid the risk of fading or losing color.

As for drying, using the tumble dryer is recommended, but it is advisable to use low temperatures to preserve the quality of the fabric. High temperatures can cause shrinking or damage to delicate fabrics.

If you prefer to dry the sheets outdoors, hang them outside, preferably in the shade. This way, you avoid direct contact with the sun’s rays that could fade the colors over time and help keep the fabrics fresher and more natural. Make sure to hang the sheets so they are well stretched to avoid creases and maintain a tidier appearance.

Following these practices will help you keep your sheets in good condition longer, ensuring maximum durability and comfort during sleep.
