How to Care for Your TENCELâ„¢ Bedding
Investing in quality bedding means caring for it well. Our Amstelinen bedding is crafted from 100% TENCEL™ fibers with a smooth sateen weave—chosen for its exceptional softness, breathability, and naturally fluid drape. With a little mindful care, your bedding will continue to look beautiful and feel luxurious night after night.
Washing with Care
TENCEL™ sateen is a delicate, naturally derived fabric that performs best when treated gently. We recommend washing your bedding inside out on a gentle cycle at 30°C, using a mild liquid detergent. Washing with similar colours helps maintain an even finish and protects the fabric’s natural sheen.
For white bedding, non-chlorine bleach or gentle brighteners may be used occasionally if needed. For coloured pieces, avoid detergents that contain bleach or optical brighteners, as these can affect colour depth over time.
A gentle cycle—sometimes labelled Delicate or Silk—uses low agitation and reduced spin speeds, helping preserve the smooth surface and soft hand feel of TENCEL™ sateen.
Drying & Ironing
Whenever possible, line drying is the best option. It’s naturally gentle on the fibers and helps maintain the fabric’s drape. If you choose to tumble dry, use low heat only and remove your bedding promptly at the end of the cycle.
If needed, a warm iron can be used to smooth out natural creases and restore a crisp finish.
Minimising Wrinkles
Because sateen has a fluid, supple structure, light wrinkling is completely normal—and part of its relaxed, luxurious character. To minimise creases, avoid overloading the dryer so the fabric can move freely, and always remove items promptly once drying is complete.
Natural Fit & Fabric Changes
A small amount of shrinkage may occur, particularly after the first few washes. Over time, you may also notice the subtle sheen of the fabric softening slightly—this is a natural evolution of the fibers and does not affect comfort or performance.
For the Perfect Duvet Fit
To keep your duvet insert securely in place, use the interior corner ties inside your duvet cover. This simple step helps maintain an even drape and prevents shifting during sleep, so your bed looks and feels just as good in the morning as it does at night.
