The current Naturloom product pages share several core instructions: use a cold gentle cycle with mild detergent, avoid bleach and fabric softener, and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Always check your item’s care label because construction and drying guidance can differ by product.
The Core Muslin Care Routine
- Check your item’s care label before washing.
- Use a cold gentle cycle with mild detergent.
- Do not use bleach or fabric softener.
- Tumble dry on low heat or air dry, following the product’s instructions.
- For Naturloom’s 8-layer muslin quilt, air dry flat.
Construction and Air Drying by Product
| Product | Confirmed construction | Current air-drying guidance |
|---|---|---|
| Fitted and flat sheets | Organic cotton muslin; layer count not specified | Air dry and follow the item’s care label |
| Duvet cover | 2-layer muslin | Air dry and follow the item’s care label |
| Baby muslin blanket | 4-layer muslin with hand-crocheted edging | Air dry and follow the item’s care label |
| Adult muslin blanket | 4-layer muslin | Air dry and follow the item’s care label |
| Muslin quilt | 8-layer, reversible finished quilt | Air dry flat |
As general handling advice, support wet bedding evenly and avoid pulling on the fabric or trim. This is not an additional product care-label instruction.
Why No Fabric Softener
Do not use fabric softener. The current Naturloom care instructions for the products covered here say to use mild detergent and skip fabric softener.
What Not to Wash It With
Avoid washing muslin with jeans, anything with zippers, hooks, or velcro. These catch on the open weave and can pull threads or snag an embroidered edge on baby blankets and throws. Wash muslin pieces together or with other soft, snag-free fabrics.
How Muslin Changes With Washing
Naturloom describes its muslin sheets and duvet covers as softening with washing. Feel can vary by product and care routine, so do not expect a guaranteed result after a fixed number of washes.
Washing Frequency by Product Type
The frequency guidance below is general advice, not a product-specific Naturloom care instruction. Adjust it for direct skin contact, sweat, spills and how the item is used.
Sheets and Pillowcases
A weekly wash can be a practical starting point, with more frequent washing when needed. See our guide on How Often Should You Wash Bed Sheets for a full breakdown.
Blankets
Base washing frequency on use, direct skin contact and visible soiling.
Duvet Covers
Adjust washing frequency to use and direct skin contact. Care for the removable cover separately from its insert, following the label on each item.
Quilts
Naturloom’s 8-layer muslin quilt is a finished bed layer, not a duvet insert. Base washing frequency on use and soiling rather than a fixed monthly rule. If air drying, lay the quilt flat as directed on the current product page.
A Quick Troubleshooting Note
Check the product care label, detergent directions and wash and dry settings. Naturloom’s current care pages recommend cold gentle washing and low-heat drying, and say not to use bleach or fabric softener. If the fabric feel or color changes persist, contact Naturloom before trying another treatment.
