Parachute sheets require a little extra love and care when washing. To get the most out of your sheets, it’s important you read and follow the cleaning instructions carefully. Be sure to carefully follow the cleaning instructions on the product label. Additionally, Parachute’s website provides a comprehensive sheet care instructions guide.
Here are some helpful tips Parachute offers for cleaning and maintaining your sheets:
Avoid sheet contact with items that contain benzoyl peroxide, alpha hydroxy acids, and chlorine bleach.
In addition to avoiding harsh chemicals, you’ll want to keep sheets away from certain skin care and acne medication, hair products and dyes, cosmetics, certain kinds of toothpaste and household cleaning products.
Don’t wash sheets with clothing, especially clothes that contain zippers or hooks as they can cause abrasions and tears.
Avoid harsh liquid or powder detergents. Parachute offers its own biodegradable laundry detergent, which is plant-based and free of damaging chemicals. The company also offers wool dryer balls as an alternative to dryer sheets.
Wash sheets with items of a similar color and fabric.
Tumble dry bedding on a low setting.
Remove the sheets from the machine immediately.
Iron on low heat.
