Washing Instructions for Egyptian Cotton Bedding




Since my last blog on bedding for the Dorm, I felt it was only fitting to make up a washing instruction sheet for the care of your Egyptian cotton sheets and duvet covers etc.
1. Wash Your Egyptian cotton sheets and pillowcases once a week.
2. Use an Eco friendly detergent,most stores carry a line of nice Green Products.
3. Wash the sheets and pillowcases in one load, you can add the duvet cover and pillow shams also.
4. Use Warm water for the first 2 or 3 washings to insure they don't shrink too much. But after that I would use hot water to kill any dust mites or bugs that may get in your bed.
5. Rinse with cold water.
6. Give the sheets and pillowcases a good shake when you remove them from the washer and put into the dryer, dry on the gentle cycle and fold as soon as they are removed from the dryer. It keeps them smooth.

Your sheets will stay beautiful for years.

Some Eco Facts on Bamboo Sheets !





Why Bamboo? Bamboo is a perfectly natural organic product and does not need any pesticides or other chemicals. It is naturally antibacterial and allergen free. Did you know that Bamboo stays cool in summer and warm in winter so is Heavenly to sleep on?
Don't worry bamboo shoots won't grow up through your body while you sleep! That only happens in King Kong Movies.......
As for the Environmentally conscious person you will be pleased to know that Bamboo is one of the world's fastest growing, greenest, and most renewable resources. Bamboo plants can grow up to a foot a day and because they grow so densely, a forest of Bamboo has about 40% more biomass than a Hardwood Forest, so can reduce about 40% more carbon than a Hardwood Forest.

Some Bamboo products have Egyptian Cotton mixed in to make it softer, stronger and more absorbent. Some cottons grown in North America are processed using pounds of chemicals, per pound of cotton, more than any other crop uses. Some of this ends up in our clothing and bedding etc. but most of it ends up the the Rivers and flows into the Gulf of Mexico's Dead Zone.
Eating Organically is great for the environment but our clothing, towels, sheets, and other textile processes probably have a harsher impact on our world.
Sleep peacefully on vegan/animal friendly Bamboo sheets from Sheer Heaven Luxury Bedding. Buy Now! before it's too late.

Dry Skin? Itchy Mess! Feel like a Dog!


Do you wake up dry and itchy,feeling like a dog? Organic cotton is so soft and silky that you feel like you are sleeping in down,as there are no chemicals used the preparing of the cotton it is free of toxins that irritate your skin. Did you know that polyester loves oil and soaks it up,so if you already have dry skin and sleep in polyester sheets and night wear you may be dry and itchy when you wake up. You can try cotton/poly for your sheets, or organic cotton or Egyptian cotton grown in Egypt. Or for pure luxury try silk sheets, it is also very kind to your skin.
Need new sheets? Check out our bedding.

Misconception over Thread count.


Every time you want to buy sheets you are confronted with the old Thread count problem, What to do! Thread count is the number of threads used per square inch in the weaving of the fabric. 300 TC is pretty low, but in an organic cotton it has a softness and strength comparable to a 600 thread count in regular bedding. Authentic Egyptian cotton comes in a wide variety of thread counts starting at 250 or 300 and all the way up to 1500TC. All are great quality and soft and strong. If you want durability in your sheets over all go for the 300 or 350TC. But if want luxury above all then go for the 1200 or 1500 TC as it is silky smooth to the touch because of the fine threads used to weave the fabric. All of these thread counts can be woven into patterns or dyed to colors and does not alter the thread count.
