Now, you’ve invested in our Spring Deluxe Sheet, but you also know that these aren’t just any sheets; they are more than just bedding; they’re an investment in your well-being, a key element of your sleep sanctuary.

But let’s face it, even the most exquisite linens can lose their lustre over time if not treated with care. The crispness fades, the colours become dull, and the sumptuous feel diminishes, but don’t let premature ageing rob you of the joy and comfort your sheets provide.

The good news is that with a bit of care and attention, you can extend the lifespan of your beloved Fluide Spring Deluxe sheets and keep them feeling new for countless nights of blissful sleep.

In this blog post, we’ll share our top secrets on how to pamper your Deluxe sheets and extend their lifespan, ensuring they remain soft and vibrant for a long, long time.

Care Tip: Treat Stains Promptly

Why it Matters: Addressing stains as soon as they happen is crucial for preserving the beauty of your beloved deluxe sheet investment. It helps to prevent them from setting in and becoming difficult to remove.

However, treating stains on your deluxe sheet requires gentle care to prevent fabric damage. Some common stains include food, wine, ink, blood, makeup, and urine.

Fluidé’s Guide:

• Act quickly; the sooner you treat a stain, the better your chance of removing it completely. Stains that have been allowed to set will be much more difficult to remove than those that are still fresh.
• Gently blot the stain with a clean cloth or paper towel to absorb as much of the liquid as possible. Avoid rubbing, as this can cause wear or damage or push the stain deeper into the fabric.
• Pretreat the stain with a gentle stain remover specifically designed for delicate fabrics. Let it sit for a few minutes, then launder as usual.
• After pre-treating, wash the sheets in cold water using a mild detergent.
• For stubborn stains, soak the sheets in cold water with a gentle stain remover for several hours or overnight.
• No bleach, please, as it can weaken the fibres and cause yellowing, so it’s best to avoid it on your Deluxe sheets.

Care Tip 2: Avoid Bleaching and Harsh Chemicals

Why It Matters: Bleach is known for whitening any fabric; hence, using it or harsh chemicals on your Deluxe sheet can damage and cause discolouration. As earlier said, it weakens the fibres of your sheet, thus reducing its lifespan.

Also, using bleach to clean your white Deluxe sheet is not the best way to take care of it. Not only can bleach be harmful when exposed to the skin, it is also dangerous to the environment.

Fluidé’s Guide:

• Avoid the use of bleach or harsh chemicals on your Deluxe Spring Sheets.
• Instead, opt for a mild detergent specifically designed for washing delicate fabrics.
• If you need to remove a stubborn stain, use a gentle stain remover or consult a professional cleaner.
• For your White Deluxe Spring Sheet, consider using natural alternatives like vinegar and baking soda to remove stains or treat spots instead of bleach.

Care Tip 3: Wash with Care

Why It Matters: Washing is essential for removing sweat, body oils, and other debris that can break down fibres over time. We recommend you wash in cold water as it helps to preserve the delicate fibres and prevent shrinkage. Hot water, however, can weaken the delicate fibres of your deluxe sheets, causing them to fade and lose their softness.

Fluidé’s Guide

• First, always plan to wash your sheets separately from towels and clothing to prevent pilling and fibre damage.
• Read the specific care instructions on your Fluide Deluxe sheet packaging.
• Set your machine to the cold water setting (usually below 30 degrees Celsius or 86 degrees Fahrenheit.)
• Gently place your sheets in the washing machine but avoid overloading; give the plenty of room to move freely in the washer.
• Opt for a mild detergent specifically formulated for delicate fabrics.

Care Tip 4: Drying Done Right

Why It Matters: High heat from the dryer can cause shrinkage, cause the fabric to degrade and lose its softness, and eventually damage the fibres of your Deluxe sheets. Avoid using a dryer, air drying is always the healthiest option for your deluxe sheets as it helps to preserve the natural fibres and prevent shrinkage.

Fluidé’s Guide

• Remove your deluxe sheets from the washing machine and gently shake off excess water.
• Hang your sheets on a clothesline or drying rack using pegs.

Care Tip 5: Store Properly

Why It Matters: Proper storage helps protect your sheets from dust, light, mould and mildew, bugs and insects, and other elements that can cause damage. It also helps to keep your sheet away from wrinkling.

Fluidé’s Guide

• Ensure your deluxe sheets are completely clean and dry before storing them.
• Gently fold them neatly to maintain their shape and minimise creases.
• Ideally, your Spring Deluxe sheets should be stored in a linen closet.
• However, there’s no need to worry if you don’t have one or a spare shelf in a wardrobe or cupboard. Pick a dark, dry space with good airflow, as this helps to keep moisture away from your sheets and prevent unpleasant smells.
• Ensure that the space has no existing smell, as your Deluxe sheets stored there will tend to absorb it.
• If it does, try using baking soda in an open container in the storage space to help alleviate odours.
• Rotate your bedsheets and choose the one stored the longest to prevent a stale smell. Do this by consistently placing the freshly washed sheets at the bottom or back of the stack.

By following these care tips, you can extend the lifespan of your Fluide Spring Deluxe sheets and keep them feeling soft, luxurious, crisp, and comfortable for a long time.
