Avoid overloading the washing machine to prevent creasing and wear to the fabric. When each cycle has finished remove the bed linen promptly from the machine and shake out whilst damp to minimise the creasing and drying time. Do not dry your bed linen for longer than necessary. |
Mink-Feel Blankets
Our range of mink-feel blankets provide additional all year around colour and warmth for the bedroom. There are options for every budget - Necessities at great everyday value, Living & Co for fashion contemporary colours and Maison d’Or for a plush neutral look. |
Duvet Covers
Duvet Covers are essentially a decorative protector for your duvet inner and are a great way to add colour and personality to your bedroom. It is an easy way to change the look and feel of your bedroom and there is an option available for every budget. Duvet Inners need to be protected from the environment, dirt, natural oils, the family pet and other allergy causing irritants and a duvet cover is much easier to launder than the inner.

Always wash before first use. Avoid overloading the washing machine to prevent creasing and wear to the fabric. |
