Bamboo Cotton Care Guide
How to care for your Luxurious Bamboo Cotton Sheets
Washing
Wash your sheets at 40°C with similar colours and a mild detergent.
They may shrink slightly in the first few washes, this helps them settle into their perfect fit.
Drying
Line dry in the shade to preserve softness and colour.
Give your sheets a gentle shake before hanging to reduce creases. If using a dryer, choose a low heat setting.
Ironing
Your body warmth will naturally smooth most creases as you sleep.
If ironing, turn sheets inside out and use a low-medium heat setting for best results.
Storing
Make sure your sheets are completely dry before folding and storing.
Choose breathable storage (not plastic) and keep them out of direct sunlight to prevent fading.
Don'ts
To keep your sheets in top condition, avoid bleach, dry cleaning, and high heat.
Common Questions About Caring for Your Scandi Sleep Bedding
How often should I wash my sheets?
We recommend washing your sheets every one to two weeks. If you’re a hot sleeper, live in a warmer climate or prefer morning showers over nighttime, weekly is best to keep things fresh and hygienic. Regular washing helps remove oils, sweat, and dead skin cells, and keeps your bedding feeling clean and comfortable.
Tip: Rotate between two sets so you always have a clean set ready to go, it makes laundry day feel much easier.
Why do you recommend line drying?
Line drying is the best way to care for your bedding long term. It’s gentle on the fabric fibres, helps your sheets last longer, and keeps them feeling smooth and fresh. Plus, the natural sunlight helps reduce dust mites and bacteria, leaving your bedding clean in the most natural way possible.
If you need to use a dryer, choose a low heat setting to protect the fabric and maintain that soft, lived-in feel.
Should I wash my sheets before first use?
Yes, we always recommend giving your bedding a quick wash before first use. It helps remove any natural residue from the production process and allows the fibres to relax, giving your sheets that soft, fresh feel right from the start.
A gentle wash at 40°C with mild detergent is perfect, then line dry for the best finish.
Can I use fabric softener on bamboo-cotton sheets?
We recommend skipping the fabric softener. Our bamboo-cotton blend is naturally soft and breathable, and fabric softeners can coat the fibres, reducing that lovely airflow and absorbency that keeps you comfortable through the night.
What’s the best way to keep my bedding soft?
The great thing about our bamboo-cotton blend is that it’s naturally soft, unlike crisp percale or textured linen, it doesn’t take much effort to keep it buttery smooth.
Your sheets will stay soft and breathable with minimal care. Just follow our simple care instructions: wash in warm water with a mild detergent, avoid bleach or fabric softeners, and line dry where possible.
With the right care, your Scandi Sleep bedding will stay soft and comfortable for years to come.
Do bamboo-cotton sheets shrink?
Yes, our bamboo-cotton blend will shrink slightly during the first few washes, this is completely normal and expected when using natural fibres. We allow for this in our sizing, so once your sheets have been washed two or three times, they’ll settle into their perfect fit.
