• Separate like colors, whites, and dark colors into individual loads.
• Avoid over filling the washing machine by only washing one unfolded bedding set at a time.
• Turn pillowcases and duvet covers inside out prior to washing, ensuring that all zippers are closed.
• Towels and robes are not pre-washed, some shedding is normal.

Found a stain or spot on your linens? Stains can appear for various reasons—perhaps a lotion with an oil base transferred to your sheets, or your body chemistry produces acidic sweat, influenced by factors like natural body chemistry, diet, salt intake, hydration, exercise, and exposure to chlorine while swimming. You're not alone; this can happen, and we've simplified the process of treating any stain!

If caught early enough, most stains should come out easily using the following method:

• Do not wash linens with other items, as it can abrade the fabric.
• We recommend using a mild, liquid, and biodegradable detergent that is free of strong stain-removing chemicals, whiteners, brighteners, softeners, or bleach, as these harsh chemicals can weaken the fine Egyptian cotton fibers and cause color loss over time.
• Fill the washing machine with cold water and add ½ of the recommended amount of detergent. If the linens are particularly soiled, use warm water with the recommended amount before submerging the linens. Do not pour detergent on top of the linens.

• After removing your linens from the wash, gently shake and unravel your bedding to minimize wrinkles in the drying process.
• Line-drying your linens is the preferred method to protect and increase the longevity of your linens. However, using a low-heat setting on your dryer, such as delicate or permanent press, will also work.
• Similar to washing, avoid overloading your dryer, and remove your linens just before they're fully dry to keep them smooth and wrinkle-free.
• Refrain from using excessive or high heat on Egyptian cotton fabrics, as it can weaken the natural fibers and increase shrinkage.
• Preventative care is the key to natural wrinkle-free linens! Remove your bedding just before it's fully dry and make the bed to ensure it doesn't shrink, and wrinkles don't set in. When closing or opening zippers after drying, do so slowly and gently to avoid breakage.

• Iron on the 'cotton' setting to regain a lustrous sheen, as the heat from the iron will not damage the fabric.
• Check your iron for any browning before ironing, as this may transfer onto your bedding.
• Avoid ironing directly onto zippers and metal enclosures.
• To remove tough wrinkles, use the steam setting on your iron or a spray bottle filled with water. Spray directly onto the wrinkle and re-iron the area until it is fully dry and smooth.
• To preserve stitching and embroidery, reverse the bedding and use a cloth or towel underneath for ironing.

• Natural fibers like Egyptian cotton need to breathe, so it's advisable to store bedding in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area.
• For long-term storage, it's best to wrap the bedding in the original Pure Parima fabric pouch provided and then place it in a recyclable bag or box. This helps prevent permanent yellowing and ensures that outside dirt or odors do not seep in.

Tip: Use the gift box your linens came in as a storage solution.

Dos

• Always use a protector or cover.
• Dry clean is preferred but you may machine wash in cold water and gentle cycle (use front-load machines for inserts).
• Dry fully in the dryer on LOW with wool dryer balls or tennis balls to properly fluff and redistribute down. Alternatively you may hang to dry, ensure down is fully dry before making the bed.
• Hold at corners and shake to fluff.

Don'ts

• Do not use fabric softeners, dryer sheets, harsh liquid, or powdered detergents.
• Avoid excess detergent.
• Don't wash with clothing – zippers, hooks, etc., can cause abrasion.
• Do not iron or steam.
• Do not use a small or top-loading washing machine for inserts; only use front-loading machines.Down & Down Alternative

• Wash with like colors, separating white and colored towels. Avoid overloading your washing machine.
• Due to the high-pile nature of our towels, it's crucial not to wash them with any other items, especially those with zippers or hooks, as they may snag on the cotton fibers.
• Use a mild, gentle detergent, and steer clear of harsh detergents, fabric softeners, liquid softeners, and dryer sheets, as they may damage the towel and reduce its absorbency over time.
• Dry on a low setting and use wool dryer balls to maintain towel fluff.
• For removing unwanted stains, spot-treat the area with warm water and a small amount of detergent. Let it soak for 15-30 minutes before rubbing the stain, and wring out any excess water before washing.
• Store your towels in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area to ensure breathability throughout the fibers. Avoid ironing.

Tip: Use the canvas tote our towel sets come in as a storage solution.
