Care by product
Curated by category, to ensure the longevity of our bed linen, towels, robes, loungewear and more.
Care by fabric
The starting point of each of our products, it’s our hand-chosen fibres that truly set us apart.
Discover how to best take care of each fibre across our collection.
TENCEL™ Lyocell Fibres
Products with TENCEL™ Lyocell fibres should be washed with a mild detergent in warm water and on a gentle cycle. For TENCEL™ Lyocell blends, please check the care label.
Cotton
Cotton should be washed using a warm gentle wash cycle and tumble dried on a low to medium setting. For cotton blends, please check the care label.
Linen
All of our linen products can be machine washed. Wash separately in lukewarm water on a gentle cycle. Linen is best air-dried and ironed while still a touch damp.
Silk
Silk products are generally machine washable and can be tumble dried on a low setting, however, some may be handwash only. Check the care label prior to discover which wash is best for your item, and do the same for silk
blends.
Wool
When it comes to wool, blended or otherwise, please check the care label first. For those that can be machine washed, be sure to use a wool cycle with a gentle eucalyptus-based detergent.
Hemp
The majority of our hemp offerings are machine washable. Wash separately in lukewarm water on a gentle cycle. Hemp fabric is best air-dried. If you choose to iron your hemp products, we recommend doing so while the item is still slightly damp. For hemp blends, please check the care label.
Polyester
For virgin or recycled polyester, check the care label before washing. If machine washable, use a gentle cycle and warm water.
General tips
Tricks of the trade that will keep your Sheridan favourites looking and feeling their best.
Care
Always follow the care instructions on product labels, as some items are machine washable, some are hand washable, and some must be dry cleaned.
Shrinkage
All fabrications are susceptible to shrinkage, and this has been accounted for in Sheridan’s sizing. However, washing or drying products at higher than recommended heat can result in significantly increased shrinkage.
Stain
Stains should be treated as soon as they occur. Gently soak, wash, or blot out the mark, using an oxygen-based stain remover or soap. Be careful not to scrub the stain, as this can damage the fabric’s fibres and remove the colour.
Washing
Having a clean washing machine is vital to caring for your products. This includes removing a build-up of soap scum and cleaning out filters. Your washing machine should be cleaned every six months, using the Tub Clean cycle. Refer to the machine’s manufacturer for what cleansing agent should be used.
