It's wonderful to indulge in the comfort of slipping into bed with freshly laundered, 100% cotton sheets. Soft, breathable, and natural, cotton is a favorite for a reason. But to keep your sheets feeling their best--and lasting for years--a little care goes a long way.

We've listed some tips on how to take care of your CGK cotton sheets so they stay as cozy and beautiful as the day you bought them.

1. Wash Before First Use
Always wash your new cotton sheets before sleeping on them. This not only provides an additional level of freshness, but it also helps soften the fabric. Use a gentle cycle with cool or warm water, and opt for a mild detergent. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals, which can break down natural fibers over time.

2. Wash Weekly (But Gently!)
Cotton sheets love regular washing—once a week is ideal to keep them fresh and clean. But avoid using hot water. Instead, stick with cold or warm water. Another key point when it comes to washing your sheets is to avoid overloading your washer. Overcrowding can lead to tangling and excess wear. Skip the fabric softeners, too—they may coat the fibers and reduce breathability.

3. Dry With Care
Tumble drying is safe for most cotton sheets. Use a low heat setting to prevent shrinking or weakening the fabric. Remove them promptly when dry to minimize wrinkles. Want an extra-crisp finish? Try line drying or ironing on a low setting while they’re still slightly damp.

4. Store Properly
Keep your cotton sheets in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing them in plastic bins, which can trap moisture and lead to mildew. A breathable cotton bag or even an extra large pillowcase or cloth laundry bag works well for long-term storage.

5. Rotate for Longevity
Having more than one set of cotton sheets and rotating them can extend the life of each set. This prevents excessive wear and gives the fibers time to recover between uses.
