High-quality home textiles require expert care to maintain optimal condition. This article, based on data from Binyin Group's fabric care laboratory, provides detailed professional tips for washing, drying, and storing common home textiles such as cotton, silk, and polyester, helping you keep your bedding looking new for years to come.

Pure Cotton Fabrics: Gentle Washing to Prevent Shrinkage
Pure cotton bedding is known for its comfort and breathability, but it is susceptible to shrinkage and deformation. Important washing tips: Keep the water temperature below 30°C, use a neutral laundry detergent (pH 6-8), and avoid detergents containing fluorescent agents. For Xinjiang long-staple cotton products, such as the Endless Summer 80s set, wash on the gentle cycle for no more than 30 minutes. Experimental data shows that pure cotton fabrics may shrink 3%-5% during the first wash. After drying, ironing at a low temperature (below 110°C) can restore their flatness. Avoid direct sunlight when drying, and dry on the inside out to minimize fading. Dry thoroughly before storage, and apply a moisture-proofing agent when folding to prevent mildew. Silk and blended fabrics: Carefully maintain luster.
Bedding containing silk (such as the silk-bound paisley quilt) requires extra care. We recommend hand washing or using the "Silk setting" with a dedicated silk detergent, keeping the water temperature below 25°C, and avoiding vigorous rubbing and wringing. Silk fibers are less resistant to light, and prolonged exposure to the sun can cause them to become brittle. The best way to air dry is in a cool, well-ventilated area. Blended fabrics (such as cotton and polyester) require tailored care based on the composition. Fabrics with a cotton content exceeding 50% should be machine washed as described for pure cotton. Fabrics with a high percentage of polyester can be machine washed, but the speed should be controlled to prevent pilling.
Fabrics with special craftsmanship: Targeted care should be used to avoid damage.
Digitally printed bedding should not be soaked for extended periods to prevent the pattern from fading. While German-imported dyes are wash-resistant, they should still be washed separately from darker colors to prevent color transfer. Satin fabrics, due to their satin weave, are prone to snagging. Before washing, check the washing machine for sharp objects and avoid contact with rough surfaces during storage. Avoid using bleach on anti-mite and antibacterial products (such as the upgraded Paisley quilt) to prevent the antibacterial coating from damaging and affecting its effectiveness. Following these tips can extend the life of your home textiles by 2-3 years, ensuring optimal user experience.
