Care Guide
Cotton Bedsheets
Do This
- Wash in cold water (30°C max) on a gentle cycle
- Use a mild, gentle detergent
- Tumble dry on low heat or air dry flat
- Iron on low heat if needed while slightly damp
- Wash separately from dark or heavily dyed items for the first few washes
- Store in a cool, dry place when not in use
Avoid This
- Bleach or harsh chemical cleaners
- Fabric softeners — they break down cotton fibers over time
- High heat drying — causes shrinkage
- Overloading the washing machine
- Leaving damp sheets in the washer for too long
- Dry cleaning
Pro Tips ✦
Gets softer over timeCotton sheets naturally soften with every wash — the more you use them, the better they feel.
Air drying is bestLine drying in the shade extends the life of your sheets and keeps colors vibrant longer.
Less detergent is moreUsing too much detergent leaves residue that stiffens fabric. Use half the recommended amount.
Rotate your setsHaving 2–3 sheet sets and rotating them reduces wear and extends their life significantly.
Your cotton sheets are made to last. With the right care, they'll only get softer, crisper, and more beautiful over time — that's the Ulap promise.

Silk Bedsheets
Do This
- Hand wash in cold water with a silk-safe or gentle detergent
- If machine washing, use a mesh laundry bag on the delicate cycle
- Gently squeeze out water — never wring or twist
- Lay flat or hang in shade to air dry
- Iron inside-out on the lowest setting while slightly damp
- Store in a breathable cotton bag away from direct sunlight
Avoid This
- Hot water — it damages silk fibers permanently
- Bleach or enzyme-based detergents
- Tumble drying — even on low heat
- Wringing or twisting the fabric
- Direct sunlight when drying — causes color fading
- Perfume or deodorant sprayed directly on silk
Pro Tips ✦
Spot clean when possibleFor small stains, spot clean with cold water and a drop of gentle soap rather than washing the whole sheet.
Use a silk-specific detergentRegular detergents strip the natural proteins in silk. Look for pH-neutral, enzyme-free formulas.
Dry in the shadeSilk is sensitive to UV light. Always dry away from direct sunlight to preserve its sheen and color.
Wash less frequentlySilk is naturally antimicrobial — washing every 2 weeks instead of weekly helps it last much longer.
Silk is a natural protein fiber — it rewards gentle care with years of luminous softness. Take care of it and it will feel just as beautiful on night 1,000 as it did on night one.
Care Guide
Duvet Filler — Cotton
Do This
- Wash in warm water (40°C max) on a gentle cycle
- Use a mild detergent — avoid heavy-duty formulas
- Tumble dry on low heat with 2–3 dryer balls to restore fluffiness
- Run an extra rinse cycle to remove all detergent residue
- Air out your duvet regularly between washes
- Use a duvet cover at all times to reduce washing frequency
Avoid This
- Hot water — causes clumping and shrinkage of the fill
- Bleach or fabric softeners
- Dry cleaning solvents
- Storing while even slightly damp — causes mildew
- Wringing or twisting
- High spin speeds in the washer
Pro Tips ✦
Dryer balls are a mustAdd 2–3 wool or rubber dryer balls when drying to break up clumps and restore the duvet's loft and fluffiness.
Fluff by hand while dryingRemove from dryer every 30 minutes and shake and fluff by hand to ensure even drying throughout.
Air it out monthlyHang your duvet outside in fresh air (not direct sunlight) monthly to keep it fresh between washes.
Store in breathable bagsNever store in plastic. Use a cotton storage bag to allow airflow and prevent moisture buildup.
Make sure your cotton duvet is completely dry before storing or putting it back on the bed. Even slight dampness can lead to mildew and odor — a second tumble dry cycle is always a safe choice.
Care Guide
Duvet Filler — Duck Down
Do This
- Wash in cool water (30°C max) on the delicate or down cycle
- Use a down-specific or gentle, soap-free detergent
- Run 2–3 extra rinse cycles to remove all soap residue
- Tumble dry on the lowest heat setting with 3–4 dryer balls
- Dry thoroughly — this can take 2–4 hours or multiple cycles
- Use a duvet cover always to protect the down and reduce wash frequency
Avoid This
- Regular detergent — strips the natural oils from down feathers
- Fabric softener or bleach
- High heat at any stage — ruins down clusters permanently
- Storing even slightly damp — causes mildew and odor
- Wringing, twisting, or compressing when wet
- Washing too frequently — once or twice a year is enough
Pro Tips ✦
Patience when dryingDuck down takes much longer to dry than it seems. Always do a final check — squeeze the center. If it feels damp, dry again.
Dryer balls restore loftUse 3–4 wool dryer balls and stop every 30 minutes to shake and redistribute the down by hand.
Air it out oftenHang outside in fresh air (away from direct sunlight) every few weeks to naturally refresh the down and keep it fluffy.
Store uncompressedStore in a large breathable cotton bag with room to breathe — never vacuum-pack. Compression damages down clusters permanently.
Duck down is a premium natural fill that rewards careful handling with years of incredible warmth and loft. When in doubt, take it to a professional cleaner who specializes in down — it's worth it.
