Article from NZZ Bellevue on How to Look After Bedding
Article Summary
High-quality bed linen is used every day, making proper care essential to preserve its softness, colour and longevity. Experts recommend washing bedding inside out, closing zips and sorting by colour to protect the fabric structure. For most materials, 40–60°C is sufficient, depending on hygiene needs and fibre type. Using gentle detergents and avoiding fabric softeners helps maintain breathability and absorbency. Air-drying is the most sustainable and fabric-friendly option, while tumble drying should be done at low temperatures and removed slightly damp. Regular washing, airing and following care labels ensure that beautifully woven bed linen remains comfortable, hygienic and timeless for years to come.
