To preserve the luxurious feel and longevity of your luxury cotton sheet sets proper care is essential yet very simple to achieve. We recommend washing on a gentle wash cycle in temperatures no higher than 40 degrees celsius. If possible wash your sheet set separately to avoid the fabric being caught on zippers or buttons. When drying we always recommend line dried sheets as it´s a more gentle and environmentally friendly however we also understand sometime this simply isn´t practical or possible. In these instances dry them on a low heat cycle to minimise wrinkles. We do not recommend the use of fabric softeners for two reasons- firstly the cotton in our sheet sets does not need to be softened further and secondly fabric softeners can build up on clothes and sheets making them less absorbent and "harder" in the long run. In our opinion ironing is a personal preference. If you would like a very crisp clean look then ironing will help achieve that.
