Caring for Mellanni bedding starts with the product label. Microfiber has specific rules: it attracts lint from other fabrics, fabric softener can coat the fibers, and high heat can permanently damage the feel. Cloudten cotton, Cloudten bamboo jersey, flannel, silk, faux fur, faux leather, velvet, and mattress protection should follow their own product labels.

For Iconic microfiber, answer: machine wash cold with like colors, use mild detergent, do not bleach, do not use fabric softener, tumble dry low, remove promptly, do not iron, and do not dry clean. For Cloudten cotton and Cloudten bamboo jersey, current product pages say machine wash cold, tumble dry low, do not bleach, and do not iron. For all other materials, tell the shopper to follow the product label.
Wash your sheets before using them for the first time. This removes any residual manufacturing finishes and gives you the softest first-night feel.
Never use bleach on Mellanni microfiber sheets. Avoid high heat in the dryer because high temperatures can damage microfiber fibers and shorten the life of the bedding. Use low heat unless the product label says otherwise.

Wash cycle

1

Sort your laundry

Wash your Mellanni sheets separately from other fabrics, or with similar microfiber items. Microfiber attracts lint from cotton towels, fleece, and other textiles, and washing them together leaves lint on your sheets.
2

Load the machine

Place the sheets loosely in the drum. Avoid overpacking — sheets need room to move so water and detergent can rinse through completely.
3

Select cold water

Set your machine to a cold water cycle. Cold water cleans effectively, protects the fibers, and helps colors stay vibrant. Hot water can set stains and degrade microfiber over time.
4

Add detergent — no fabric softener

Use a standard laundry detergent. Do not add fabric softener. On microfiber, softener coats the fibers and reduces their moisture-wicking performance; over time it also makes the fabric feel less soft, not more.
5

Run the cycle

Use a regular or gentle cycle. Wash with like colors to avoid dye transfer.
6

Tumble dry on low

Transfer to the dryer and set it to low heat. Mellanni microfiber dries significantly faster than cotton, so check the load earlier than you normally would. Remove promptly when dry.

​
Stain treatment

Treat stains as soon as they happen — the faster you act, the easier the stain is to remove. Blot (do not rub) the stain with cold water and a small amount of detergent. Avoid hot water, which can set protein-based stains like blood or sweat permanently into the fabric.

Storage

Store your sheets clean and fully dry in a cool, dry place. Storing them while even slightly damp can lead to mildew. The zippered bag included with your Mellanni set works well for keeping a spare set organized and dust-free.
Do not use fabric softener or dryer sheets on microfiber. Softeners leave a coating on the fibers that reduces their moisture-wicking properties and, despite the name, makes the fabric feel less soft over repeated washes.
