1. Machine Wash: Use mild detergent and wash in cold or warm water on a regular cycle.
2. Avoid Bleach: Do not use bleach, especially on colored sheets, to prevent fading.
3. Sun Dry or Tumble Dry:
- Sun Dry: Dry in indirect sunlight to prevent fading of colors, turning occasionally for even drying. Dry white sheets in direct sunlight to naturally brighten them.
- Tumble Dry: Use low or medium heat to minimize wrinkles.
4. Iron if Needed: Use a medium heat setting for a crisp finish.
5. Store Clean and Dry: Ensure sheets are completely dry before folding and storing in a cool, dry place.
Following these steps will help maintain the softness, color, and longevity of your cotton bedsheets.
