Malouf WOVEN Care Instructions

WOVEN™ CARE INSTRUCTIONS

MACHINE WASHING

• Pre-wash your linens before

first use.

• Separate linens from other

items in the wash, especially
those containing polyester
which tends to create pilling.
Also, items with heavy zippers
which can abrade and damage
the fabric.

• Do not overload the washing

machine. Overloading can cause
fibers to break down from
excessive abrasion and
agitation.

• Wash in warm water using a

non-chlorine bleach detergent
on a gentle cycle with a cold
water rinse.

DETERGENT

• Use a mild liquid detergent,

preferably non-alkaline,
without added bleach or
whiteners.

• Do not pour detergent directly

on linens. Instead, add it to the
water as the wash tub fills or
dilute with water, then add
linens.

• Unless linens are very soiled,

only use half the recommended
amount of detergent.

BLEACHING

• Do not use chlorine bleach as it

can weaken fibers and cause
them to yellow prematurely.

• If white fabrics need bleaching,

use an oxygen-based bleach.

DRYING

• Line drying recommended.

• Shake out damp linens before

placing in the dryer and tumble
dry on low heat until slightly
damp.

• Never use a high heat setting or

over dry; this will weaken the
fibers, cause shrinkage and
shorten the life of your linens.

• Remove from dryer promptly

while slightly damp to minimize
wrinkles.

• Smooth and fold or press with

an iron if desired.

CHEMICALS

• Some hair and skin products

such as acne lotions or
toothpastes that contain
oxidizing agents may cause
discoloration and pilling
of linens.

STORAGE

• Store bed linens in a cool, dry,

well-ventilated area.

• Linens stored long-term should

be wrapped in white cotton or
acid free paper.

• Avoid storing linens in plastic

bags or boxes, which can cause
permanent yellowing.
