Washing
Wash your washed cotton bed linen at 40°C for regular care. Some products may be washed at 60°C; always follow the instructions on the care label.
Before washing:
- Turn your bed linen inside out.
- Avoid overloading the drum.
Drying
Tumble-drying is permitted at a moderate temperature. Air-drying is also recommended to preserve the softness and natural appearance of washed cotton.
Remove your bed linen as soon as the cycle ends to reduce creasing.
Ironing
Washed cotton generally does not need to be ironed. Its slightly crinkled appearance is part of its charm.
For a smoother finish, iron your bed linen at a medium temperature while it is still slightly damp.
Best Practices
✓ Use a mild detergent.
✓ Follow the temperatures indicated on the care label.

✓ Store your bed linen only when it is completely dry.
Mistakes to Avoid
× Tumble-dry at too high a temperature.
