Follow the Care Label: Use the recommended water temp and wash cycle. Never dry clean.

Wash Colours Separately: Especially deep or bright shades to avoid colour bleeding.

Avoid Optical Brightening Agents (OBA’s): Most commercial detergents have OBAs that keep whites bright but fade colours, especially light ones. Choose OBA-free detergents and wash towels separately.

No Bleach or Chlorine: These damage fibres and cause discolouration.

Don’t Over or Underload: Follow detergent guidelines—too much detergent causes discolouration and fibre wear.

Use Fabric Softener Sparingly: Overuse saturates fibres, reducing absorbency and causing greasy feel. It can also lead to pulled threads.

Keep Temperatures Low: High heat causes shrinkage and harsh texture. Tumble dry to keep towels fluffy; avoid flatwork ironers that flatten the pile.

Handle Pulled Threads Properly: Simply snip off with scissors—towels won’t unravel.

Colour Variation is Normal: Slight batch-to-batch dye differences happen and won’t usually be noticeable.

Protect Colours: Wash below 60°C and rinse pool towels ASAP to prevent chlorine damage.

Quick Tip: If towels contact harsh bathroom cleaners, rinse affected spots with cold water immediately before washing. Vinegar can also help neutralize bleach effects.

1. Always wash new towels before first use.
2. Add ½ to 1 cup of white vinegar in the first wash to set dyes and boost colourfastness.
3. Use about half the usual amount of detergent—less is more!
4. Avoid bleach completely.
5. Never use fabric softener on the first wash—it reduces absorbency and encourages pulled threads.

Simple steps to keep your new towels soft, vibrant, and long-lasting!

Many detergents and pre-wash treatments contain bleach compounds—even if not clearly labelled.

Watch out for these chemicals:

• Sodium Percarbonate
• Hydrogen Peroxide
• Sodium Carbonate
• Sodium Carbonate Peroxyhydrate
• Sodium Hypochlorite

While these help remove stains, Sodium Hypochlorite and Sodium Hydroxide can degrade cotton fibers and shorten your product’s lifespan.

For best results, consult your chemical supplier or laundry system designer to choose safe, fibre-friendly options.

All quilts we stock are machine-washable.

Machine size: Use a washing machine large enough for the quilt/doona to move freely. If you need to force it into the drum, the wash will not be effective.

Detergent: Use a mild detergent suitable for woollens.

Drying: Tumble dry on a warm setting until completely dry.

• Polyester fill dries relatively quickly.
• Feather/down fill will take longer to dry.

Feather/Down Care: Washing is preferred over dry cleaning, as dry cleaning can remove the natural fats and oils that help maintain loft and resilience, potentially making the down brittle.

Always choose an unscented, liquid, colour-free detergent for washing your quilt or doona, and avoid any product containing fabric softener.
Fabric softeners can damage the fill fibres and encourage fibre migration.

A detergent designed for wool is a safe option.

Never use bleach in any form—it will shorten the lifespan of your quilt/doona far more than it will improve cleaning results.

1. Wash on a gentle cycle and avoid bleach to preserve fabric quality.
2. Use a mattress protector between the mattress and sheets to extend the life of both.
3. Invest in pillow protectors to reduce the need for frequent pillow laundering.

Extend sheet life by washing at the lowest effective temperature. Higher heat accelerates chemical degradation and fabric wear.

Before first use, wash new sheets with detergent and thorough rinsing—avoid fabric softeners as water minerals can cause discoloration or yellowing.

Keep washing temperatures below 60°C to protect colour fastness and prevent shrinkage beyond industry limits.

Pre-dissolve detergents (powder or liquid) before adding to the wash for optimal cleaning.

Wash cycle efficiency depends on:

1. Washer design & speed
2. Water inlet size & pressure
3. Dump valve/outlet size
4. Load size
5. Soil level
6. Chemical dosing & mixing

Bleach:
We don't recommend using bleach as it damages fibres and colours.
Instead, use a mild hydrogen peroxide-based whitener occasionally (every 10–20 washes) to maintain whiteness safely.

After Wash Care:
After washing, remove excess water through hydro-extraction or membrane pressing to reduce drying time and energy costs.

Proper rinsing is essential to remove detergents and chemicals, extending linen lifespan.

Keep washing below 60°C to protect colours and prevent excess shrinkage. Pre-dissolve detergents for best results.

Cotton is vulnerable to fungi and bacteria, especially mildew, which thrive in warm, damp conditions, causing odours and fabric damage.
For disinfection, wash at 70°C for at least 10 minutes or use a chemical bacteriostatic agent to reduce high temperature needs.

Use detergents without optical brighteners on coloured or pastel linens—reserve optical whiteners for whites only, added in the final rinse.

Proper bedspread care is essential for hygiene and longevity.

For best results, use commercial laundry facilities with large-capacity washers and dryers designed to handle bulky items.
Avoid overloading—washing a single bedspread in a spacious machine ensures thorough cleaning and effective extraction.
After washing, tumble dry in a large-capacity dryer to promote even drying and prevent damage.

Regular professional laundering helps maintain bedspread quality and meet industry hygiene standards.

Protect your pillows and extend their lifespan with properly sized pillow protectors. These barriers reduce dirt and oils, cutting down on frequent washing.
Keep at least two protectors per pillow to ensure continuous use and hygiene.

Laundering Pillows:

Synthetic Polyester Pillows:

• Use a gentle machine wash and warm tumble dry.
• Ensure pillows are fully dry before reuse to prevent mold.

Feather and Down Pillows:

• Machine wash gently with wool-friendly detergent.
• Tumble dry on low heat to avoid damaging delicate fibers—dry thoroughly, even if it takes time.

Proper pillow care supports cleanliness and durability, crucial for hospitality and healthcare settings.

he small investment of a mattress protector can extend the life of your mattress by reducing staining and excessive wear. They are easily washable, providing additional hygiene, and add to your guests sleeping comfort by providing a layer of softness.

Commercial Laundering of Mattress Protectors

1. Care must be taken to fill the machine to optimal capacity. Over filling will lead to poor washing outcomes and under filling can lead to damage of the product.
2. Warm wash, rinse well, gentle spin, warm dry
3. Do not iron & do not dry clean
4. Extreme care needs to be taken when adding bleach to aid in keeping your protectors white. Many, if not all detergents already contain bleach in one term or another. Over use of bleach will reduce the life of your protectors
