The bedding edit · Everyday care
Laundry day is easier when the routine suits the fabric. Start with the product’s care label, leave room in the machine and give sheets time to dry fully before the next change.

How to wash bed sheets: six practical steps
- Check the label. Read the fabric composition, permitted washing method, temperature, drying and ironing instructions.
- Sort the load. Separate colours as directed and keep sheets away from rough items or exposed fastenings. Leave enough room for the load to move and rinse.
- Check for stains. Use only a treatment suitable for the fibre and permitted by the care label. Follow the treatment directions rather than using a universal home recipe.
- Measure detergent. Use a product suitable for the fabric and the amount recommended for your load and machine.
- Choose the permitted cycle. Follow the care label and machine instructions. A generic bedding or regular cycle is not suitable for every fabric.
- Dry and store correctly. Remove promptly after washing, use the permitted drying method and store only when completely dry.
02 / The details
How often should you wash sheets?
A weekly routine is a practical starting point for regularly used bedding. Wash sooner when sheets are soiled or after spills, and keep a spare set so you can change the bed without rushing the drying process. Follow any specific care or personal health guidance relevant to your household.
For your home
Make the routine work in your home
For Australian households using outdoor lines, indoor racks or a tumble dryer, the permitted method still comes from the sheet’s care label. Follow any shade instructions and make sure the fabric is completely dry before storage.
A spare fitted sheet, flat sheet or complete set lets you change the bed without rushing the drying stage. When replacing sheets, check Australian mattress dimensions and fitted wall depth separately from the washing instructions: size does not establish the permitted temperature or cycle.
03 / The details
Different fabrics need different care
| Fabric | What to check |
|---|---|
| Cotton, including sateen and percale | Permitted temperature, cycle, drying and ironing for the selected range |
| Jersey cotton | Knit-specific handling and drying instructions; avoid stretching wet fabric |
| Silk | Hand wash, machine wash or professional cleaning as stated; use suitable silk-care products |
| Polyester satin | The polyester product's label; satin is a weave and does not make it silk |
| Linen and bamboo-derived fabrics | Actual composition and the range's wash and drying instructions |
Care requirements vary with composition, construction and finish. Follow the selected product's label; price, thread count, appearance and silk momme do not establish the permitted washing method.

Stains, bleach and homemade mixtures
Check whether the chosen fibre and finish permit a stain treatment or bleach. Do not assume lemon juice, vinegar or another homemade mixture is safe for every colour and fabric. For a difficult stain on silk or another delicate item, ask a professional cleaner experienced with that fibre.
05 / The details
Can bed sheets go in the dryer?
Only when the care label permits it. Use the specified setting and avoid over-drying. For line drying, follow any shade or positioning instructions on the label. Fully dry the sheets before folding to avoid storing damp bedding.

A few common questions
How often should I change my sheets?
A weekly routine is a practical starting point for regularly used bedding. Wash sooner after spills or soiling and follow any household-specific health guidance.
Can every cotton sheet use the same wash cycle?
No. The weave or knit, finish and construction can change care requirements. Follow the label on the selected product rather than its fibre name alone.
Can I tumble-dry my sheets?
Only when the care label permits it, using the specified setting. Avoid over-drying, and store bedding only when it is completely dry.
