Tencel Care Instructions

 

If Tencel bedding shows wrinkles after washing and drying, please do not worry. This is normal situation:

  • Wrinkles will disappear within 1 to 3 days after being laid flat on the bed.

  • You can make your bed with the sheets while they are still about 25% wet. This allows them to finish drying on the bed and lessen wrinkles.

It’s no secret that TENCEL™ lyocell sheets are incredible — they’re silky soft, ultra breathable, super gentle on the skin and extremely friendly to the environment. However, you may wonder — how do I wash my TENCEL™ sheets? Don’t worry, we will guide you through every step.

WASHING

  • Pre-wash your TENCEL™ sheets before first use.  
  • Maximum washing temperature 30℃.
  • Do not dry clean.
  • Separate from other items in the wash, especially those containing polyester which tend to create pilling. Also, avoid items with heavy zippers which can abrade and damage the fabric.
  • Do not overload the washing machine. Overloading can cause fibers to break down from excessive abrasion and agitation.

DETERGENT

  • Use mild liquid detergent, preferably non-alkaline, without added bleach or whiteners.
  • Do not pour detergent directly on sheets. Instead, add it to the water as the wash tub fills or dilute with water, then add sheets.
  • Unless linens are very soiled, only use half the recommended amount of detergent.

DRYING

  • When possible, let your TENCEL™ sheets hang dry naturally in order to help preserve the fibers and color.
  • However, if you don’t have the option of naturally line drying your sheets, you can use a dryer – be sure to choose the low heat and low tumble option.
  • Never use a high heat setting or over dry, this will weaken the fibers, cause shrinkage and shorten the life of your sheets.
  • To decrease chances of wrinkles, immediately take the sheets out and make the bed with it. The most optimal strategy is to take your sheets out while they’re still about 25% wet and make your bed with the sheets. This allows them to finish drying on the bed and lessen wrinkles.
  • Smoothen and fold or press with an iron if desired. When ironing, the temperature of the bottom plate should not exceed 110℃.

STORAGE

  • Please store your sheets in a cool and dry place, away from sunlight.
