Great sheets get better with care. The right routine keeps fibers strong, colors rich, and the surface smooth—so your bed looks elevated and sleeps incredible for years. Here’s a simple, proven approach for caring for DreamFit sheets, from wash day to storage.
Before You Wash: Prep Makes Perfect
- Separate by fabric and color: Wash Bamboo, Egyptian cotton, and Organic Percale in like colors to avoid lint transfer and dye rub.
- Turn pillowcases and duvet covers inside out: Protect the face fabric; zip or button closures.
- Don’t overload: Water must move through the fabric to rinse fully and keep fibers supple.
Detergent & Additives
- Mild, liquid detergent: Use less than you think—residue dulls softness and breathability.
- Avoid heavy softeners: They coat fibers. If you love extra softness, use a small dose of plant-based softener or white vinegar in the rinse.
- No bleach on colors: For whites, oxygen-based brighteners are gentler over time.
The Right Settings
- Water temp: Warm for everyday cleaning; cool for color preservation; hot only for occasional sanitizing.
- Cycle: Normal or delicate with a full rinse to remove suds and skin oils.
- Spin: Medium–high to reduce dry time without twisting fibers.
Drying for Feel and Longevity
- Tumble low–medium: High heat weakens fibers and cooks in wrinkles.
- Remove promptly: Shake out and smooth on the bed to finish wrinkle release; line-dry if you love that crisp percale finish.
- Ironing: Optional. Use low-medium steam on the top hem and pillowcase cuffs for a hotel-neat look.
Stain & Spot Strategy
- Treat stains quickly with a mild enzyme solution; dab, don’t scrub.
- For body oil buildup, pre-soak in warm water with a small detergent dose; rinse, then launder as usual.
Why Fit Features Matter on Laundry Day
Care isn’t just chemistry—it’s construction. DreamFit’s stay-put engineering helps sheets look fresh longer:
- No-Slip Corner Bands (with silicone): High-friction grip at corners resists stretching during sleep and laundering.
- DreamFit 360° Elastic: A perimeter that’s 20× stronger than standard helps the fitted sheet rebound to a tailored seal after every wash.
- FirstFit™ orientation: Color-coded head/foot bands take the guesswork out of re-making the bed—no sideways resets.
- Luxury sizing: Extra-long, extra-wide flats tuck easily without straining the fitted sheet.
Storage That Keeps Sheets Fresh
- Cool, dry, dark space: Avoid direct sunlight and humidity.
- Breathable containers: Cotton bags or shelf stacks beat plastic bins; add an unscented sachet if you like.
- Rotate weekly: Keep two–three sets in rotation to extend life and maintain that just-laundered feel.
When to Refresh Your Setup
- Run warm? Pair your favorite set with the icy-cool DreamCool™ Mattress Protector to stabilize temperature and protect the mattress.
- New mattress? Choose exact sizing for standard or deep profiles; adjustable base users can select Split or Split Head.
