BEDDING CARE INSTRUCTIONS
The best way to care for all of our wool or cotton filled bedding is to
expose them to direct sun-light and air
once a month. This process will evaporate all the moisture that may be contained within
the fibers and will also freshen the bedding by taking out any body odors.
Another alternative to sunning and airing is to put pillows, pads, and comforters in
the dryer on cold air fluff for 10-20 minutes (check every 5 minutes) with a tennis ball
or clean tennis shoe to refluff the fibers.
Stains may be spot cleaned using a solution of 1:3 parts of white distilled vinegar and
water. Spray the vinegar/water solution on the stain and expose to direct sunlight. Let
dry. Continue this method until stain fades and odors dissipate.
OR
Use a non-toxic spot cleaner.
Use as directed. Be sure product dries completely.
OR
Spot clean with a mixture
of borax and water. Then put out where it can be exposed to direct sunlight
to dry and help clean it.
If sunning and airing is not feasible, bedding products may be professionally cleaned
by an upholstery method using a wet-cleaning technique.
DO NOT DRY CLEAN
Duvets,
Shams, Sheets and Covers. These
products are made of untreated, unbleached cotton that has been washed
twice to remove all sizing. Machine wash and dry using non-detergent soap
(meaning natural, without chemicals)
and no bleach. Fabric softener is not recommended.
Wool Puddle Pads
The wool puddle pads can
be machined washed. However, we recommend that you hang dry the puddle
pads. Please do not machine dry the wool puddle pads.
Daily Breathing Time
Europeans
are shocked to see a bed made up first thing in the morning. It is standard
practice in Western Europe to let the bed 'breathe' in the morning. The
comforter is turned back to allow moisture and odors to escape from the
mattress via air circulation.
