How Often Should I Wash My Bedding?

Your bed is your sanctuary,  a place of rest and retreat. At Coco & Wolf, we believe in making every night's sleep as luxurious as possible but with this luxury comes the question: how often should I wash my bedding? Striking the perfect balance between freshness, hygiene and fabric longevity ensures that your Liberty fabric bedding stays beautifully soft, breathable and looking its best for years to come. In this guide, we will walk you through everything you need to know about keeping your sheets, pillowcases and duvet covers pristine without compromising on quality.

How Often Should I Wash My Sheets and Pillowcases?

For everyday bedding, experts recommend washing your sheets and pillowcases once a week. This routine helps remove natural body oils, sweat and dust, ensuring a clean and comfortable sleep environment. If you prefer a more relaxed approach, washing your bedding every 10–14 days can still keep it feeling fresh while preserving the Liberty fabric’s quality.

Your bedding comes into contact with your skin for hours each night, absorbing sweat, dead skin cells and environmental particles. Over time, this can create the perfect environment for bacteria and dust mites. This makes regular washing key - not only for hygiene but for your overall well-being. Fresh bedding may feel indulgent but also promotes a healthier, more restful sleep.

How Often Should I Wash My Duvet Covers?

While pillowcases come into direct contact with your skin and hair, meaning they should be washed every 7–10 days, duvet covers can be laundered every two to three weeks. If you use a top sheet, you may be able to stretch this timeline slightly longer. If you have sensitive skin or allergies, washing more frequently can help keep allergens at bay.

For those who do suffer from allergies, consider switching to Liberty print silk pillowcases, which are naturally hypoallergenic. Silk creates a barrier against dust mites and other allergens, keeping your sleep space cleaner and gentler on your skin. Coco & Wolf’s silk pillowcases provide an ultra-luxurious, allergy-friendly addition to your bedding collection.

How Often Should I Wash My Bed Sheets in Different Seasons?

The time of year can also influence your washing routine. In warmer months, when we tend to sweat more at night, washing every week is key to keeping bedding feeling light and fresh. During the summer, lightweight fabrics like Liberty’s Tana Lawn™ cotton excel at moisture-wicking and breathability, helping to regulate temperature and prevent overheating.

During cooler months, when you wear pyjamas or use additional blankets, you may find that washing every two weeks is sufficient. However, if you love the feeling of freshly laundered bedding, there’s no harm in washing weekly all year round.

How to Wash Coco & Wolf’s Liberty Fabric Bedding

At Coco & Wolf, we primarily use Liberty’s exquisite Tana Lawn™ cotton to make our bedding, a fabric renowned for its silky-smooth texture, lightweight breathability and durability. For practicality, we also love this fabric as it can be machine-washed - anything for an easier life! To maintain its beauty and softness, follow these care tips:

• Wash at 40°C with mild detergent to keep colours vibrant.
  
  
• Avoid overuse of fabric softeners, which can coat fibres and reduce breathability and luminosity.
  
  
• Air dry where possible to maintain the fabric’s delicate handle, or dry on a clothes horse next to a gentle heat source.
  
  
• Iron on the reverse, on a warm setting, to revive the lustre of the fibres and smooth finish of Tana Lawn™ cotton.
