Care & Keep
Egyptian Cotton Duvet Cover Set
Wash, Dry, Preserve
Egyptian cotton is valued for its long, fine fibers, soft handfeel, breathable comfort, and lasting beauty. Proper care helps the fabric stay smooth, fresh, and comfortable over time.
Washing
Do
• Machine wash on a gentle cycle using cold to warm water.
• For most cotton and Egyptian cotton bedding, 30–40°C is a practical care range.
• For dark colors, embroidery, lace, ruffles, or decorative details, use cold water or 30°C whenever possible.
• Use a mild liquid detergent and allow it to dissolve fully.
• Wash with similar colors and similar lightweight bedding.
• Rinse thoroughly to help remove detergent residue.
• Wash promptly if the bedding is stained, sweaty, or soiled.
Don’t
• Do not boil wash Egyptian cotton bedding.
• Do not use bleach on colored bedding, embroidery, lace, ruffles, or decorative trims.
• Avoid fabric softener whenever possible, as buildup may reduce cotton’s natural breathability, softness, and fresh feel over time.
• Do not overload the washer.
• Do not wash with towels, jeans, hooks, zippers, Velcro, or rough fabrics.
Drying
Do
• Air dry whenever possible in a shaded, well-ventilated place.
• If using a dryer, tumble dry on low heat only.
• Remove bedding from the dryer while slightly damp to reduce deep creases, then smooth and finish drying naturally.
• Make sure the bedding is fully dry before folding or storing.
Don’t
• Do not use high heat, as it may weaken fibers, shrink fabric, or set wrinkles.
• Do not leave cotton bedding under strong direct sunlight for long periods, especially colored or embroidered pieces.
• Do not store while damp.
Ironing & Steaming
Do
• Iron on low to medium heat if needed, following the care label.
• Iron while slightly damp for smoother results.
• Place a light cloth over embroidery, lace, ruffles, or decorative details before ironing.
Don’t
• Do not iron directly over delicate embroidery, lace, appliqué, buttons, zippers, ruffles, or decorative trims.
• Do not use high heat on delicate finishes unless the care label allows it.
Stain Care
Do
• Treat stains as soon as possible.
• Blot gently instead of rubbing.
• Use a small amount of gentle detergent and cool water for most fresh stains.
• Test any stain treatment on a hidden area first, especially on dark colors, embroidery, lace, or decorative details.
• Check that the stain is fully removed before tumble drying.
Don’t
• Do not rub stains aggressively, as this may push the stain deeper into the fibers.
• Do not place stained bedding in the dryer before the stain is removed, as heat can set the stain.
• Do not use strong stain removers on embroidery, lace, dark colors, or delicate trims without testing first.
Storage
Do
• Store bedding only when fully clean and dry.
• Fold loosely to avoid deep creases.
• Store in a breathable cotton bag or clean bedding closet.
• Keep away from direct sunlight, moisture, and strong odors.
Don’t
• Do not store in sealed plastic for long periods, as trapped moisture may cause odor or mildew.
• Do not store heavy objects on top of delicate bedding for long periods.

The Material
Why Egyptian Cotton?
The Beauty of Long-Staple Cotton
Egyptian cotton is valued for its long, fine fibers. Longer fibers can be spun into smoother, stronger yarns, helping create bedding that feels soft, refined, and beautifully comfortable against the skin.

Silken Softness That Improves With Care
With proper washing and care, Egyptian cotton becomes softer and more comfortable over time. Its smooth surface gives the bedding a refined handfeel and an elegant drape.
Durability for Everyday Luxury
The long-staple structure helps create strong yarns that can support lasting use when cared for properly. This helps the fabric maintain its smoothness, softness, and beauty through repeated washing.
Naturally Breathable Comfort
Cotton is a naturally breathable fiber. It allows air to move through the fabric, helping the bedding feel fresh and comfortable across seasons.
Gentle Against the Skin
The smooth feel of Egyptian cotton can be comfortable for many sleepers, especially when washed with a gentle, fragrance-free detergent. For sensitive skin, always choose mild laundry care and avoid strong fragrance, bleach, or harsh detergent buildup.
A Sleep Investment Worth Preserving
Choosing Egyptian cotton is not only about luxury. It is about softness, breathability, and long-term beauty that can be preserved with the right care.
Beautiful bedding is not only chosen — it is preserved.
With gentle washing, complete drying, breathable storage, and thoughtful daily care, your L&B bedding can continue to bring softness, comfort, and quiet beauty into your everyday life.
