What washer setting for sheets?
Use the normal cycle for most sheets. Choose cold water and a gentler cycle for dark colors, silk, linen, or fragile fabric.

Care-label caveats
- Always follow the care label for fiber content and drying limits.
- Use delicate or hand wash settings for silk, fine linen, lace, or fragile trim.
- Do not overload the washer; sheets need room to rinse and spin.
- High heat can shrink cotton and linen blends.
