A MORE CONSIDERED ROUTINE

Small Habits, Lasting Comfort

Caring for home textiles begins with understanding what each item needs. Different fibres, finishes, constructions, and intended uses may require different cleaning methods. A routine that works for cotton sheets may not be appropriate for a decorative cover, specialty pillow, or lined curtain.

Before cleaning an item, check its label and product information. Use the recommended temperature, detergent, drying method, and ironing guidance where provided. When a textile requires specialist care, follow the stated instructions rather than experimenting with a different method.

Our guiding principle: product-specific care instructions always take priority over general advice in this guide. When instructions are unclear, seek guidance before cleaning.

01 / BEDROOM ESSENTIALS

Bedding Made for Rest

Sheet sets, pillowcases, duvet covers, comforters, blankets, and sleeping pillows each play a part in a comfortable bedroom. Their materials and construction determine how they should be cared for.

Regular attention helps keep your sleep space clean and orderly. Before laundering, confirm whether the entire item is washable, whether a removable cover should be washed separately, and whether specialist cleaning is recommended.

  • ✓Check labels on sheets and pillowcases before choosing a wash cycle.
  • ✓Wash compatible colours and fabrics together to help avoid colour transfer.
  • ✓Check duvet and comforter instructions for capacity, drying, and cleaning requirements.
  • ✓Follow product guidance for sleeping pillows and specialty sleep products.
  • ✓Ensure items are completely dry before making the bed or storing them.

02 / BATHROOM COMFORT

Fresh, Everyday Essentials

Bath towels, bath sheets, robes, bath mats, and shower textiles are part of everyday routines. Because these items may be exposed to frequent moisture, follow their individual cleaning and drying instructions carefully.

Allow damp textiles to dry appropriately between uses. Avoid leaving wet items folded or compressed for extended periods. Check labels before using bleach, fabric softener, or other cleaning products.

Towels & Bath Sheets Follow washing instructions and the recommended drying method.
Robes & Spa Textiles Check fibre composition and care guidance before laundering.
Bath Mats Confirm whether the backing and construction permit machine washing.
Shower Textiles Follow product instructions for cleaning, rinsing, and drying.

THE HOME TEXTILE EDIT

Care, by Category

Every room has its own textiles, and each deserves an approach suited to its material, construction, and everyday use.

01

Sheets & Pillowcases

Check the care label, separate colours, and choose an appropriate cycle. Store clean, completely dry linen in a dry space.

02

Duvets & Comforters

Check size, filling, construction, and cleaning instructions. Confirm whether your machine can accommodate the item before washing.

03

Blankets & Throws

Identify the material before cleaning. Delicate weaves and textured finishes may require a specific washing or drying method.

04

Sleeping Pillows

Check whether the pillow itself is washable or whether only its removable cover can be cleaned. Follow the filling's care requirements.

05

Decorative Cushions

Review cover and insert instructions separately when applicable. Test suitable spot-cleaning methods discreetly before proceeding.

06

Kitchen & Table Linens

Treat stains according to the fabric guidance, and check recommended temperatures before washing tablecloths, placemats, and kitchen towels.

07

Rugs & Floor Textiles

Check backing, fibre, and cleaning requirements. Avoid soaking or machine washing unless the product instructions permit it.

08

Kids & Nursery Bedding

Follow the item's washing instructions carefully and ensure every bedding piece is thoroughly dried before reuse.

09

Specialty Textiles

Specialty sleep products, laundry accessories, and unusual textile constructions may need individual cleaning methods. Check product guidance first.

03 / WINDOWS & LIVING SPACES

Keep Every Layer Looking Its Best

Curtains, window treatments, shades, door coverings, sofa covers, decorative pillow covers, and furniture textiles give a room its character. Their cleaning requirements can vary considerably depending on lining, backing, fasteners, and fabric.

  • ✓Check whether curtains are machine washable, hand washable, or intended for specialist cleaning.
  • ✓Remove hooks, detachable fittings, and accessories when the instructions recommend it.
  • ✓Use suitable dust-removal methods for shades, blinds, and structured window coverings.
  • ✓Check sofa-cover labels before washing, since fabric, backing, and fit may be affected by improper care.
Before treating a stain: check the item's care instructions and test any permitted cleaning method on an inconspicuous area first.

04 / THE CARE ROUTINE

A Better Way to Care

A considered laundry routine starts before the wash cycle. Making time to sort, inspect, dry, and store your textiles helps you follow their instructions and avoid unnecessary wear.

There is no single setting suitable for every material. Use the care label as your guide, especially when working with delicate fabrics, specialist fillings, backed rugs, or lined window coverings.

1

Inspect Before Cleaning

Look for care labels, detachable components, stains, loose seams, or damage that may affect the appropriate cleaning method.

2

Sort and Prepare

Separate compatible colours and fabrics. Check pockets, secure fasteners when advised, and avoid overcrowding the machine.

3

Use Suitable Products

Choose cleaning products appropriate to the item and follow their directions. Do not use bleach or specialist treatments unless the textile instructions allow them.

4

Dry Thoroughly

Follow the recommended drying method. Check that thick bedding, towels, and other substantial items are fully dry before storing or using them again.

5

Store with Care

Keep clean textiles in a dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid compressing delicate items in ways that may damage their shape or finish.

GOOD TO KNOW

Care Questions

Every textile is different. These practical answers explain how to approach common care questions while protecting the materials and finish of your home essentials.

When a product label provides specific directions, follow those instructions instead of relying on general advice.
Can I machine wash all Loomelle textiles?

Not necessarily. Washability depends on the material, construction, finish, and manufacturer's instructions. Check the product's care label before placing it in a washing machine. Some items may require hand washing or specialist cleaning.

What temperature should I use for bedding?

Use the temperature stated on the item's care label. Sheets, duvet covers, blankets, pillows, and comforters may have different washing requirements, even when used in the same bedroom.

How should I dry thick towels and bedding?

Follow the product's recommended drying method and temperature. Allow enough time for thick items to dry thoroughly before folding or storing them. Avoid heat settings that are not permitted by the care instructions.

How should I remove a stain from a textile?

Check the material's care instructions first. If spot cleaning is permitted, use a suitable method and test it on an inconspicuous area before treating the visible stain. Avoid aggressive rubbing or unapproved chemical treatments.

Can I iron curtains and decorative covers?

Check the care label for ironing or steaming guidance. Some fabrics and finishes may not tolerate direct heat. Follow the recommended temperature and method, or seek specialist cleaning guidance when required.

How can I help textiles stay fresh between washes?

Follow the recommended cleaning schedule for each item. Allow damp textiles to dry appropriately, keep storage spaces dry and ventilated, and follow product-specific care instructions.

What if my product has no visible care label?

Review the product listing and any instructions supplied with your purchase. If you still cannot establish the appropriate cleaning method, ask for guidance before washing or treating the item.
