Prepping Your Flannel Massage Linens (First Wash Instructions)
Prepping: The first wash and dry cycle is the most important. To avoid excess fabric pilling (i.e. tiny lint balls) wash and dry in a full but not stuffed load. Wash your sheets in cold water on the gentle cycle. The gentle cycle is extremely important because this cycle uses less motion causing less friction. Add one cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle. Adding vinegar will allow the fiber to expand with less pilling, preserving the color, keeping them from fading and looking dingy over time.
*If using a front loading machine, use the extra water setting.
Tumble dry on warm or medium heat on a gentle setting or remove sheets from the dryer when sheets are slightly damp. Don’t use dryer sheets, this can cause undue friction that causes the flannel to pill over time.
