Should I wash my TENCEL™ bedding and towels before using? What about duvets?
Yes, it is advisable to wash your bedding and towels before use. All our products are OEKO-TEX certified which means that it does not contain any harmful substances and it is safe to use. However, we advise to wash the bedding and towels to help remove any residues from the manufacturing process and it ensures the bedding and towels smell fresh and clean. You do not have to wash duvets before use on the other hand.
WASHING & MAINTENANCE OF YOUR BED LINEN
Tencel™ lyocell is made from particularly soft, natural and durable fibers with a luxurious shine. This original shine will diminish with use. The material may feel a little stiffer after washing. During drying, the fabric becomes soft and supple again.
To wash
• Wash the bedding inside out if possible.
• Use a laundry bag to keep the fabric beautiful and protect it from damage.
• Select a short washing program (less than 60 minutes) and set it to 30 degrees. The result will be just as good and it will be better for the material. In addition, it is more environmentally friendly.
• Use mild, liquid wool & delicate detergent. You only need to use a small amount of detergent for optimal color retention.
• Do not use detergent containing chlorine or bleach. The use of fabric softener is not necessary.
• Wash colored laundry and white laundry separated from each other.
• Do not overfill the washing machine.
To dry
• We recommend that you air dry your bedding naturally. This is better for the fabric and the environment. If you prefer to put it in the dryer, we advise you to set the machine to ‘low heat’.
• Do not wring the fabric as this may break the natural fiber.
To iron
• You can iron the bed linen at a low medium temperature.
• Do you feel ironing is not necessary but do you want to prevent as many creases as possible? Hang out your bedding well immediately after washing.
WASHING & MAINTENANCE OF YOUR TOWELS
Our towels are made of Tencel™ Bioserica: soft, natural and durable fibers with a luxurious shine. Freshly washed from the washing machine the material might feel a little bit less soft. When dry the towels will feel soft again. After the first two washes, the towels can fluff slightly during use. After the third wash this will be over.
To wash
• Use a laundry bag to keep the fabric beautiful and protect it from damage.
• Select a short washing program (less than 45 minutes) and set it to 30 degrees. The result will be just as good and it will be better for the material. In addition, it is more environmentally friendly.
