At Pure Parima, we’re passionate about selling only 100 percent certified Egyptian cotton sheets made from fibers picked in the Nile River Valley. OEKO-TEX certified and crafted with expert workmanship, our bedding products maintain their strength and beauty while staying perfectly soft. Keep reading for advance tips on how to wash your expensive sheets so they remain your favorites for the long haul. 

Prevent Snags

The fine texture of Egyptian cotton feels like silk against the skin. However, it can snag or tear if not properly cared for. To protect your investment, we recommend washing sheets and pillowcases separately from clothing items. Doing this helps prevent damage from zippers and buttons. Additionally, you should zip the duvet covers and shams closed before washing them.

Pre Treat to Protect

Egyptian cotton sheets absorb dyes well, meaning they’re sold in a range of vivid colors. If you want to keep your bedding looking bright, we recommend pre-treating any stains before throwing items in the laundry. For best results, treat the soiled area with warm water and a tiny amount of detergent. Give the detergent around half an hour to soak before gently rubbing at the stain. You can then wash your bedding as usual. 

Avoid Harsh Chemicals

Speaking of detergent, it’s best to wash bedding with a mild, liquid, biodegradable detergent. You can protect your Egyptian cotton sheets by using a dye-free product made without stain-removing chemicals or softeners that can damage the fine fabric. Additionally, we recommend opting for wool dryer balls over dryer sheets. At Pure Parima, we also advise against using bleach, which can cause color loss over time.

Don’t Overdry

We all know that drying clothes and bedding on the line is the best way to ensure their longevity. However, few of us have the time or energy to hang items outside to dry. The good news is that Egyptian cotton can safely go in the dryer. The experts at Pure Parima suggest using a low-heat dryer setting such as delicate or permanent press. Don’t stuff too many items in the dryer and aim to remove them before they’re fully dry, so sheets remain smooth and wrinkle-free. 

Store Sheets Properly

You might be tempted to toss your bedding in the linen cabinet when not in use. However, improper storage can damage your sheets over the long term. To keep bedding smooth and strong, we suggest stowing it in a fabric bag or pouch and placing it in a cool, dry part of the home.
