Bedding Set Size:

Whether they?re keeping you warm on chilly nights or adding a pop of color to your bedroom d?cor, sheets, pillows, and blankets are an important part of any home. But they?re also some of the most challenging items to get right: even the softest fabric can get damaged by normal dry-cleaning procedures, and you don?t want that linger in your clothes closet or on your bedding! This guide walks you through the basic steps for maintaining a bedding set with ease.

1. Caring for your sheets and pillowcases is simple, but it’s essential to do it right. We recommend laundering them once a week. The best method is to use warm or cold water, as hot water can shrink them. Use non-chlorine bleach, as other bleach can seriously break down fibers. Tumble-dry on medium heat and remove before they?re fully dry to cut down on wrinkles. Make sure they?ve completely dried, though, before storing or putting them back on the bed. (For a real treat, iron them for a smooth and luxurious finish.) For upkeep, hang sheets outside when possible, but avoid direct sun. They’ll feel and smell great!

2.?For Blankets and Quilts: Clean once a month, use mild detergent, warm/cool water, and low heat in the dryer. For upkeep, dry-clean if has lace/delicate applique, and lay flat to dry to avoid damage.

3. For Comforters: Clean once every several years, use a cover, and wash that as needed. Professional laundering is recommended, but if you wash at home, use a large-capacity front loader and mild detergent. Follow pillow care instructions and add tennis balls to the dryer to fluff. For upkeep, shake the comforter weekly and air outside when possible. For duvet covers, wash with sheet and pillowcase care instructions once a month.

4. For Pillows: Clean about once a year, check care label, dry-clean or machine-wash with mild detergent, gentle cycle, rinse twice, spin, and dry low until completely dry. For upkeep, use pillow protectors and plump daily to maintain the loft.

By following these tips, you can help your bedding set last a lifetime and enjoy its vibrant colors for years to come.
