Silk & Satin Bedding Care and Information - See Also: Cancellation Policies

All Bridal Satin items and special order satin items are non-returnable. Bridal Satin sheets and duvet covers are professionally center seamed, Bridal Satin items will wrinkle and can be ironed using cool settings. Bridal Satin is a sleek woven fiber for that special look and feel one associates with fine satin bedding. It is called Bridal Satin because it is used by many bridal gown manufacturers for this very purpose. The densely woven satin fabric is both very elegant and machine washable, if treated with proper care, it will last for a long time. Silk & Bridal Satins should be washed by itself on a gentle cycle, cold water setting. Please do not, under any circumstances, use hot water, heat is an enemy of Silks & Bridal Satin for both washing and drying, also, do not use any type of bleach, fabric softer is not necessary, woolite preferred.  When finished washing, promptly remove to avoid unnecessary wrinkles, line-dry, or use a cloths dryer set to "Fluff No Heat". When dry-to-the-touch promptly remove to your bed or loosely roll up for storage, if desired for that fantastic smooth satin look, touch up any stubborn wrinkles on the reverse side with a clean steam iron set to the lowest steam setting recommend by your iron for satin, do not use iron on silk. Dry Clean any of our silk or satin comforters due to their bulk, home machine washing though possible, is not recommend for our comforters. To extend the life of any silk or satin bedding we suggest rotating sheet sets frequently so that one set is not abnormally worn due to continual usage. Specialty Linens and its manufacturers are not responsible for normal wear & tear, abuse, mistreatment, damages due to washing and shredded or worn fabrics in areas of usage.
