Your bed is where comfort meets rest, and your sheets play the biggest role in creating that feeling of luxury every night. At Amaris, we craft our bedding to be soft, breathable, and long-lasting. But to keep them in top condition, proper sheet care is essential.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to wash sheets, how often to wash them, and the best way to store them, so your Amaris bedding feels fresh and inviting for years to come.
Why Proper Sheet Care Matters
Luxury sheets are an investment in your comfort. When cared for correctly, they:
- Stay soft and smooth longer
- Keep their vibrant look and feel
- Last for years without pilling or thinning
Think of it as giving your sheets a spa day, they’ll return the favor every night.
How to Wash Your Sheets
- First wash: Always wash sheets before first use to soften the fibers and remove any finishing.
- Water temperature: Use cold or warm water. Hot water can damage cotton and cause shrinking.
- Cycle setting: Choose a gentle or normal cycle.
- Detergent: Use a mild, liquid detergent without bleach or fabric brighteners. Harsh products weaken fibers.
Tip: Wash sheets separately from towels or heavy items to prevent abrasion.
How to Dry Sheets the Right Way
- Low heat is best: Tumble dry on low or line dry to preserve the fibers.
- Remove promptly: Take them out of the dryer while slightly damp to avoid wrinkles.
- Skip fabric softeners: They leave residue that reduces breathability. Use wool dryer balls for natural softness.
How Often Should You Wash Your Sheets?
The short answer: every 1–2 weeks.
- Weekly: Ideal for most households.
- Every 3–4 days: If you sleep with pets, have allergies, or sweat heavily.
- Seasonal refresh: Rotate between sets to give each one a break.
Regular washing keeps your bedding not just clean, but truly fresh and inviting.
Special Care by Fabric Type
Not all fabrics are created equal, here’s how to care for each Amaris sheet style:
- Sateen Sheets: Wash in cool water to maintain their silky sheen and drape.
- Percale Sheets: Wash warm; they get softer with every wash while keeping their crisp feel.
- Flannel Sheets: Wash cold and dry on low to keep them fluffy and prevent shrinkage.
Storing Your Sheets Properly
- Fold sheets neatly and store them in a cool, dry space.
- For organization, tuck the pillowcases inside the folded fitted sheet.
- Add a small sachet of lavender or cedar to keep them smelling fresh.
Ironing & Freshening Between Washes
- Ironing: Optional, but gives a hotel-quality crisp look. Iron on low to medium heat while slightly damp.
- Refreshing: Air them out in sunlight or use a linen spray for a just-washed scent between washes.
Treat Your Sheets Well, Sleep Better
Caring for your Amaris sheets is simple, but it makes all the difference. By following these steps, you’ll preserve their softness, extend their life, and keep your bed looking and feeling like a sanctuary.
After all, good sheet care equals better sleep.
