's First Wash: How to Get Started

Always wash new bedding first at 40°C with the fabric inside out. Why? It sets the colors and gives the fabric the right softness. It’s like a first impression—it’s important to make a good one.

Bedding

Care and Tips

Once a week is the standard for adults, but in the summer, when we sweat more, it may need to be done more often. Children need fresh sheets every 4–5 days because they get them dirtier and have more sensitive skin. If someone is sick, change the sheets every day or every other day—this will speed up recovery and prevent the spread of bacteria.

It depends on how old the colored bedding is. If it’s been washed many times and doesn’t bleed, you can take the risk. But new colored bedding can be tricky—even slight discoloration can turn white bedding pink or gray. It’s better to be safe than sorry and wash it separately.

40–60°C is the ideal temperature range for colored fabrics. This temperature effectively removes bacteria and dirt without damaging the color pigments. A higher temperature will turn your favorite burgundy bedding pale pink, while a lower temperature may not be effective against bacteria and dust mites.

Satin is a capricious lady—too high a temperature (above 40°C), too vigorous a spin cycle (above 800 revolutions), or a zipper left open can damage its delicate structure. Satin is made up of long, smooth fibers that break when subjected to excessive mechanical force or heat, creating frayed spots. Treat it like silk—gently and with respect.

This is the basic rule—always on the left side. Use the appropriate temperature for cotton: 150–180 degrees.

These towels will stay fluffy for years

Soft, absorbent towels are a must in every bathroom. Unfortunately, over time they can become stiff and lose their ability to absorb water effectively. Discover some proven methods that will help them retain their quality for many years to come.

Care and Tips

The "shock treatment" method: run the first wash cycle with one glass of white vinegar (no detergent), and the second cycle with one and a half glasses of baking soda (also no detergent). Then, wash as usual with a small amount of detergent. This method removes all accumulated buildup and brings your towels back to life—they’ll be like new!

Unfortunately, rarely! Fabric softeners coat the fibers with a thin layer that clogs the microscopic loops in the terry cloth responsible for absorbency. The result? Towels that smell nice but are useless. It’s better to use white vinegar every third wash—it’s a natural fabric softener that doesn’t harm absorbency.

The secret is in the movement! Shake them vigorously before hanging them up to "stretch out" the terry loops, and repeat this a few times while they're drying. Add 2–3 tennis balls to the dryer—they’ll “massage” the towels as they dry, keeping them fluffy. It’s like a workout for your towels.

This is due to the "protective" layer applied during manufacturing. Soak the new towels in salt water (2 tablespoons per liter) for 2 hours, then wash them at 60°C without any fabric softener. The salt will help stabilize the fibers and remove any residual chemicals from the manufacturing process. After this treatment, the towels will absorb water like a sponge.

Frequently Asked Questions

40°C is the optimal temperature for our products—it’s enough to ensure complete hygiene and color safety. Higher temperatures can damage the delicate prints of fairy tale characters. 40°C plus a good hypoallergenic detergent is the key to longevity and safety.

Absolutely! Every one of our products is Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified. This means they’re free of harmful substances, formaldehyde, and heavy metals. Each batch is independently tested, so you can rest assured your little one’s skin will be safe from the very first days of life.

It’s best not to, especially during a child’s first few years of life. A baby’s skin is five times more sensitive than an adult’s. Use a hypoallergenic detergent, rinse twice, and wash the baby’s clothes separately. It’s extra work, but peace of mind about your child’s health is priceless. Plus, you’ll avoid the risk of transferring bacteria from adults’ clothes.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you can, give it to someone in need. And if not, give it a second life. Cut it into dust cloths (cotton picks up dirt really well), make pouches for scented sachets, shoe storage covers, or laundry bags for delicate items. Old flannel sheets make perfect cloths for polishing furniture.

Nature has everything you need! Mix 2 tablespoons of baking soda with a tablespoon of lemon juice—this will create a paste that can tackle most stains. Apply it to the stain, let it sit for 30 minutes, then rinse it out. This mixture is safe for children, the environment, and your wallet. Plus, it smells fresh, not like chemicals.

A glass of white vinegar plus 10 drops of your favorite essential oil (lavender, eucalyptus, lemon). Add half a glass of this mixture to each rinse cycle instead of a chemical fabric softener. The vinegar dissolves detergent residue, softens fabrics, and neutralizes odors, while the essential oil adds a pleasant scent. Your washing machine will thank you, too!

On the contrary—vinegar is your fabrics’ best friend! It removes detergent residue that makes fabrics stiff, neutralizes odors, softens fibers, and extends the life of your clothes. Use only white vinegar (not apple cider or wine vinegar). The only downside? The smell during the wash cycle, but it disappears completely once your clothes are dry.

Zero waste! Cut it into dusting cloths (cotton picks up dirt really well), make pouches for scented sachets, shoe storage covers, or laundry bags for delicate items. Old flannel sheets make perfect cloths for polishing furniture. Give them a second life instead of throwing them away!
