Care Guide
Keep your cotton looking its best.
Machine Washing
- Household linens should be washed before use.
- Do not mix your Egyptian cotton with other fabrics like polyester, poly-cotton, acrylic or wool.
- Sort by color (whites, light, dark) and by type of item.
- Do not include garments with zippers, hooks or metal parts that could damage the fabric.
- Unfold sheets when loading the machine.
- Wash in cold/warm water, no more than 40°C.
- When the cycle ends, remove the laundry immediately and shake to minimize wrinkles.
Detergent
- Use a mild, liquid, biodegradable detergent without bleach or whiteners.
- The amount depends on how soiled the laundry is and on water hardness.
- Use vinegar instead of fabric softener or bleach, which causes buildup and damage the fabric.
Drying
- When machine drying, never use high temperatures; Use medium fan and spin.
- Remove sheets before completely dry, then lay flat and iron.
- For line drying, open and shake each item before hanging.
- Keep colored items out of direct sunlight; Extended exposure may cause yellowing.
- Lay flat on a rack to prevent overstretching, and do not over-dry.
Ironing
- Use a steam iron on warm/hot for cotton; Hot for linen with a water spritz if needed.
- Iron embroidered linens on the reverse side while damp.
- Avoid spray starch; follow the care-label symbols (medium/high for cotton and linen).
- To protect softness and absorbency, do not iron towels.
Storing
- Store linens folded flat in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area.
- Avoid plastic bags/boxes for long-term storage — natural fibers need to breathe.
- Keep out of direct sunlight to avoid permanent yellowing.
- For a crisp, clean scent, store with a scented sachet.
