A well-made cotton bedsheet can easily last for years — but only if it's washed the right way from the very first wash.
Wash Cold, Especially for Printed Fabric
Cold or lukewarm water helps prevent colour bleeding on hand block and dyed prints, while hot water can fade prints faster and shrink the fabric over time.
Separate Dark and Light Prints
Especially for the first two to three washes, wash dark or heavily dyed prints separately to avoid any colour transfer onto lighter sheets.
Skip the Dryer, Choose Shade
Air-drying in shade rather than direct harsh sunlight keeps colours from fading and prevents the fabric from becoming brittle over time.
Iron on the Reverse Side
Ironing printed cotton bedsheets inside-out helps protect the print's surface and keeps the pattern looking sharp for longer.
