At Noche, we believe that your sleep sanctuary deserves the very best. Our Tencel bedsheets are crafted to bring you unparalleled comfort and sustainability. To keep them as soft and luxurious as the day you unboxed them, follow our comprehensive care guide. While Tencel is known to be a buttery soft, moisture-wicking material perfect for the Singapore heat, it is a very delicate material and would require more care than normal bedsheets.
Here’s how to wash, maintain, and care for your Tencel bedsheets, ensuring they stay perfect for years to come.
Washing Your Tencel Bedsheets
-
Use a Gentle Detergent: Choose a mild, liquid detergent free from harsh chemicals, bleach, and fabric softeners. These substances can break down the delicate fibers of Tencel, reducing their lifespan.
- Cold Water Wash: Always wash your Tencel bedsheets in cold water. Hot water can cause shrinkage and damage the fibers. Cold water helps maintain the sheets' softness and strength.
-
Gentle Cycle: Select a gentle or delicate cycle on your washing machine. This minimizes agitation and prevents pilling, ensuring your sheets remain smooth and soft.
- Avoid Overloading: Give your Tencel bedsheets room to breathe in the washing machine. Overcrowding can cause unnecessary friction, which may damage the fibers. Wash them separately or with other soft fabrics for the best results.
Stain Removal:
It is inveitable to get some stains on your bedsheets, but fret not! Stains are normally removable on our bedsheets with water and a bit of tissue paper. Just follow the instructions below to prevent ruining the tencel fibres!
- Pre-Treat Stains: For stubborn stains, pre-treat the area before washing. Use a gentle stain remover or a mixture of water and a small amount of detergent. Apply the solution directly to the stain and let it sit for 10-15 minutes.
- Avoid Rubbing: Resist the urge to rub the stain aggressively. Instead, gently blot the stain with a clean cloth or sponge to avoid damaging the fibers.
- Natural Remedies: For organic stains like food or drink, consider using natural remedies such as a baking soda paste or white vinegar. Apply, let sit, and then wash as usual for an eco-friendly stain solution.
Drying Your Tencel Bedsheets
-
Air Drying: The best method to dry Tencel bedsheets is air drying. In a climate like Singapore, we recommed air drying your bedsheets! Hang them on a clothesline or drying rack away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and fiber damage.
- Tumble Drying: If you prefer using a dryer, select a low heat setting. High heat can cause shrinkage and damage the fibers. Remove the sheets while they are still slightly damp to avoid over-drying and wrinkles.
- Avoid Fabric Softeners: Skip the fabric softeners in the dryer. They can coat the fibers, reducing the sheets' breathability and softness.
Additional Tips
- Ironing: If necessary, use a low heat setting to iron your Tencel bedsheets while they are still slightly damp. This helps smooth out wrinkles without damaging the fibers.
- Storage: Store your Tencel bedsheets in a cool, dry place. Avoid plastic storage bags that can trap moisture and cause mildew. Instead, use breathable cotton storage bags.
- Rotation: To prolong the life of your Tencel bedsheets, rotate between multiple sets. This reduces wear and tear on any single set, keeping them in better condition for longer.
