Product Care

Recommended Product Care

Takasa products are made naturally and are best cared for naturally. For best results, we recommend to wash using eco-safe detergents that are free of dyes and chemicals, and drying naturally in sunshine. Ideally, we recommend using a non-toxic and biodegradable laundry detergent from an ethical company that only uses natural, plant-based ingredients. We understand that natural laundering isn’t always an option - best practices for machine laundering are provided below for each of our products.

Please note - all of our bed sheets, duvet covers and towels are pre-shrunk and can tolerate hot water washing. However, for environmental reasons and longevity of your new linens, we recommend using cold water when laundering your Takasa products.

For more general laundry tips, including how often you should launder your bedding and bath products, please refer to our Laundry 101 blog.

Sheets, Pillow Cases, Crib Sheets & Duvet Covers

Wool Duvet Inserts

See organic wool care guide for detailed instructions

We recommend refreshing your wool duvet insert by periodically hanging it outdoors in the fresh sun.

Spot clean as needed. For stained items, add a dose of live cultured enzymes (such as Bac-Out by Biokleen) during soaking.

Can be placed in a machine in cold water on soak and spin cycles only. Do not use the wash cycle, which agitates and can ruin your wool duvet.

Drape in the sun or a warm place to dry. Do not wring or machine dry.

Please note: Due to the variety of washing machines on the market and the differences in their operation, we do not guarantee your wool items once they have been machine-washed. We want you to enjoy your natural products for years to come and offer these washing instructions to assist you in giving them the best care possible. Understanding the basic principles of the soak-and-spin method explained in our organic wool care guide will enable you to maximize the life of your bedding.

Wool Pillow Inserts

We recommend refreshing your wool pillow insert by periodically hanging it outdoors in the fresh sun.

Spot clean as needed.

Down Duvet Inserts

We recommend using the services of a professional dry-cleaning service to care for all of Takasa down-filled products.

If you need to spot clean, do so as follows:

Move the down away from the area you wish to clean.
Use a mild soap or spot remover and gently rub it into the stain.
Rinse well with water; try not to wet any of the down.
Use either a hair-dryer to dry the wet fabric, or place into a dryer and set on air fluff only.
