Tekla pieces are designed to be lived in and made to last, from bedding that retains the feelings of freshly washed sheets to soft towels that dry with ease. Our design process starts with selecting the best materials for comfort, quality and function, developed with our partners to ensure our high standards are met.
A little goes a long way when it comes to properly caring for them.
General washing recommendations
We recommend washing all of our fabric products, with the exception of wool and down items, at low temperatures using gentle detergents.
Cotton is highly absorbent, so products that are used every day, like bedsheets, sleepwear and towels, should be washed on average once per week at a low temperature. This prevents natural oils and sweat from staining and damaging the fabric. It is also advisable to wash them before their first use.
It’s important to wash products with similar colours, especially during the first few washes, to prevent colour bleeding.
Avoid using bleaches and softeners as these can damage the fabric fibres. Towels should never be washed with softeners, as they coat the fibres and prevent effective absorption.
Separate products with metal buttons and zippers from other items with a laundry bag to avoid friction and pulling.
Line dry whenever possible, away from direct sunlight. This is more gentle to fabric fibres and can help increase a product's life span. When tumble drying, use a low heat.
Remember to refer to the care instructions listed on the tag of individual items for more details.
How to care for your wool pieces
Wool and other animal fibres like mohair have natural anti-bacterial and odour-resistant properties, so do not need to be washed often, if at all. Typically, dirt and stains will lift off with a spot clean and odours can be removed by airing. If you do need to wash our blankets, we recommend using an environmentally friendly dry cleaning service. Some wool products can be washed by hand in cold water - no higher than 30C. Always air-dry on a flat surface to prevent shrinkage and stretching.
Shake and air out between uses.
