Mitre Guides
Helping you get the most out of your purchase
Washing & Caring for your Linen
Washing Guidance for Cotton Bedlinen
- Wash before use.
- Wash at 50°C or 60°C.
- Expect 4-8% shrinkage (our sizing allows for this).
- Hot iron when slightly damp to give a crisp finish.
- Don’t bleach! This will reduce the life of the product.
- Soak stained bedding in water if immediate laundering is not possible.
Washing Guidance for Polycotton Bedlinen
- Wash product at 50°C.
- Use a detergent intended for colours (to avoid colour fade due to OBA build up).
- A light iron is suggested.
Washing Guidance for Coloured Towels and Bathmats
- Wash at 50°C.
- Avoid bleaching agents.
- Avoid fabric conditioner - it will reduce absorbency.
- Wash dark colours several times before use to remove surplus dye and any loose fluff.
- Snip off any pulled threads with sharp scissors – this will not spoil the towel.
- Skin creams/cosmetics may cause localised colour loss.
Caring for Duvets
- On average we sweat half a pint a night, so regular duvet replacement is suggested.
- Fluff your duvet up after use and give it a good shake.
- Do not dry clean.
