How to Take Care of Your 100% Cotton Sheets

1. Wash Before First Use
Always wash your new cotton sheets before sleeping on them. This not only removes any packaging residue but 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. Stick with cold or warm water and 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.
