Washing
Wash your cotton percale bed linen at 40°C, following the instructions on the care label.
Before starting the washing machine:
- Turn your bed linen inside out.
- Avoid overloading the drum.
Drying
Tumble-drying is permitted at a moderate temperature.
To reduce creasing, remove your bed linen as soon as the cycle ends.
Air-drying is also recommended to preserve the fibres over time.
Ironing
Iron your bed linen at a medium temperature, preferably while it is still slightly damp.
This will help restore the natural drape and elegance of cotton percale.
Best Practices
✓ Use a mild detergent.
✓ Separate whites from colours.
✓ Follow the temperatures indicated on the care label.
✓ Store your bed linen only when it is completely dry.
Mistakes to Avoid
× Use too much fabric softener.
× Dry at too high a temperature.
× Leave damp bed linen in the drum.
× Use bleaching agents on coloured fabrics.
