Bed linen

Marimekko’s bed linen is made from natural materials. There are plenty of different products available. These simple instructions help you keep your bed linen looking and feeling great for a long time.

Before use

It is advisable to wash bed linen in plenty of water to remove any excess dye.

Washing

The proper washing method can be checked from the care label attached to the product or from the product package. Also, check the recommended load level for the washing cycle – washing too much laundry at once may impair cleaning and increase wrinkles. Shake off dust and loose debris from the linen before washing.

Correct washing temperature

We recommend washing Marimekko bed linen at 60°C. Follow the recommended washing temperature since washing at too low a temperature may cause unwanted color transfer.

Dry and finish as desired

Do you want your bed linen to look soft and carefree or straight and smooth? The drying method influences this. Tumble drying, which suits most of Marimekko’s bed linen, softens the product, leaving it with a carefree, low wrinkle. Tumble drying also removes excess loose fibers. If you prefer a smoother look, it’s a good idea to air dry the bedding on a line and iron or mangle it slightly damp. Ironing and mangling also seal the fibers, which reduces the release of textile dust.
