Care Guide

Egyptian cotton is easy to look after. A little care keeps your colours rich, your prints sharp and your bedding feeling its best for years.

Quick guide

  1. Take out your duvet and pillows, and close the zips.
  2. Wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C or lower.
  3. Use a little gentle detergent without optical brighteners.
  4. Skip the bleach and fabric softener.
  5. Air-dry if you can, away from strong sunlight.
  6. Iron on a low heat if you like, using a cloth to protect the fabric.

Why we recommend 30°C

Washing at 30°C or lower helps preserve your print and keep your colours looking their best.

It's also gentler on the fibres and helps prevent shrinkage, so choose a gentle cycle too.

Choosing your detergent

Avoid optical brighteners. These additives in some detergents may cause fading, so please avoid detergents that contain them.

Check the label. Look for "optical brighteners" or "brightening agents" in the ingredients.

Use only a little. A small amount of gentle detergent is enough.

Skip the chlorine bleach. It can damage the fabric and its colour.

Before you wash

Wash it on its own. Buttons, zips and clasps on other items can damage the fabric.

Treat stains first. Try to remove any stains by hand before washing.

Drying

Air-dry if you can. A clothesline is the best way to maintain its quality.

Using a dryer? Choose a low heat, and take the bedding out as soon as the cycle finishes.

Ironing

Iron while the bedding is still slightly damp, on a low heat.

Use a cloth between the iron and the fabric to protect it.

Keeping colours vivid

Strong sunlight can fade colours and prints over time, so dry and store your bedding away from it.
