Technical Specifcations
& Taking Care of Your Set
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Plantchester is made with 100% Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certified hemp fibres and coloured with Standard 100 OEKO-TEX® certified dyes.
Please note that due to our method of natural dyes (from plants) and no chemical treatments, you can expect the colour of your set to fade over time.
WASHING
Always use cold water, a gentle detergent and a gentle cycle. Prolong the life of your set by popping them inside the wash bag we provide. This ensures the fabric fibres aren't damaged by the kinetics of the washing machine.
DRYING
Use the free solar drier by hanging on a line if you're able to but avoid direct sun. Select gentle & low heat when machine drying. Lay flat to ensure the natural dyes don't sink into the creases.
OTHER TIPS
Do not bleach, it's nasty stuff and weakens the fibres. Try making a paste with a lemon juice and salt then apply to the stained area and finish by drying in the sun.
If your sheets are looking a bit loose, try machine drying on medium heat to tighten the fibres up.
PRODUCTION
Plantchester products are manufactured by our friends in China, where our hemp is grown and dyed. The first collection comes in 3 standard sizes and 4 colourways. Our pillowcases are bigger, our doona covers are easier, and our fitted sheets have drawstrings instead of elastic - part of what makes us completely compostable!
Plantchester has plans to expand both the colour and size range as we grow.
