Care of Latex sheets

Our products are made from the finest quality Latex Sheeting. Latex is a natural product, please follow the instructions below to keep the sheets in good condition. Mineral oils and solvents destroy latex, such as hand creams, oils and even leather goods (the leather  contains natural oils). Use only water-based lubricants/massage oils .
Washing/Cleaning In normal use wipe over the sheets whilst on the bed using warm water with a few drops of antibacterial soap. No detergents  For thorough cleaning

1. Hand Wash in warm water with a little soap based cleaner e.g. Fairy Liquid, Gum>ol, or baby shampoo. DO NOT USE DETERGENTS

2. Dry Flat. Dust lightly with talcum powder which gives a dull finish.

To achieve a more shiny finish, we recommend

a. Latex Cleaner/Polish , antibacterial.  Available from us. 500ml £ 7.80 + VAT if applicable

b. Silicon based super shine VIVISHINE from ebay @ approx 14 GBP

Polish gently with a very soft cloth, small areas at a time. Do not let polish sit on latex for more than 10 seconds before wiping off.

We prefer not to use of Silicon Spray polish it can leave the sheets with a sticky finish.

3. Do not tumble dry, bleach, iron or dry clean.

General care : Recommendations      Latex rubber can discolour and eventually perish with prolonged exposed to heat, sunlight, and light with a high U V content.

We recommend a light dusting with talcum powder before storage in a dark place.

Do not leave latex on or near radiators, do not keep in damp conditions.

Keep sharp objects away, even finger nails. Latex is flammable !

01/05/2012 Comments: Site found from internet search. Easy to order, though I did order two extra sets of pillow slips by mistake because it wasn’t clear that pillowcases were sold as a pair. This was identified and queried before delivery. Customer service was very polite and efficient and goods delivered quickly. Nice quality and good value. I told a relative about the product and she asked me to order some for her too.

30/04/2012 Comments: Thank you for my new fitted satin sheet. It has arrived safely and it fits very well on my European Queen sized bed. I’m really looking forward to getting a good night’s sleep!

29/04/2012 Comments: Found you by Google search and noticed you were local so wanted to try and source locally. Your website was easy to use, made it easy to find what I wanted. There was lots of information to help my purchase. Payment was efficient, good confirmations and item received quickly. Already recommended you to work colleagues and friends.  How about a Facebook Page, news promotions etc.? http://www.facebook.com/betweenthesheetsUK

29/04/2012 Comments: The satin sheets are just perfect. I am a regular costumer and have full confidence in the quality of your sheets. In the future I will certainly buy from your store again!

16/04/2012 Comments: Finally, after many YEARS of looking at the site I decided to order a set of satin sheets, and am now kicking myself for waiting so long. Fantastic quality, excellent service, and everything was delivered with that little extra touch of care. Thank you!!!

Silk care instructions
Pure silk is available as bed sheets in several different weaves and finishes. Our 100% pure SATIN SILK has that glossy Hollywood look you have seen in the movies. It is cool in summer – absorbing your body moisture as you sleep, and it has insulating properties to keep you warm in winter.

Silk is the most luxurious fibre in the world. The weaving of the fabric may contain minor irregularities, these are characteristic of fine silk yarn which gives the fabric its beauty, lustre and texture and should be not be treated as defects. 

We only use the finest quality Mulberry Silk. This silk has a thread count of 400 and a weight of 19 momme – 86 gm per sq m.

We make our pure silk duvet covers, fitted sheets and pillow cases ‘oversized’ by approx 3% to allow the silk fibres to shrink slightly during its first 1/2 washes. This also closes the fibres together giving the silk strength. Please remember that silk is a most delicate fabric and must be treated with loving care to preserve its fine texture and softness. To find more information on the History and qualities of Silk Click Here. 

TIP for ironing fitted sheets
Have a good mattress protector on your mattress and when you come to iron the fitted sheet, put the fitted sheet inside out on top of the mattress protector and iron the sheet in situ. That way you will get a good finish at the corners and down the sides of the sheet. When done, turn the sheet over to the right side.

You will have many years of delight in your silk sheets if you follow the instructions above.

100% Pure Silk Satin Comforters

Our Pure Silk Satin Comforters are made with 100% Pure Silk Satin top and filled with 100% Polyester Fleece filling. The reverse is made with Cotton/ Polyester material –  Cotton 65% and 35% Polyester. DRY CLEAN ONLY. Or Gentle Earth on a gentle cycle. Choose your dry-cleaner carefully, preferably one that you have previously used for silk (or one that has been recommended to you) and make sure that they can clean silk properly.

Half a million dirty Britons wash their bed sheets only three times a year! One in six people also admitted waiting at least a month before washing their bed sheets.

We spend up to a third of our lives in bed . If you’re spending that much time in one place, it’s important to make sure that it’s clean. There are all sorts of things lurking in your sheets that you may not be aware of, and they could pose a threat to your health if cleanliness isn’t maintained. Let this guide help you understand the importance of washing bed sheets regularly.

What’s In Your Sheets?

If you could put your sheets under a microscope, you might be surprised – and a little horrified  by what you would see. Almost very bed has dust mites, which are microscopic bugs that feed off of dead skin cells. These little things live, die and reproduce in the same bed sheets that you sleep in. The only way to keep these creatures under control is to wash your bed sheets on a regular basis. Otherwise, you may develop an allergy  or even a lowered  immune system. As gross as dust mites are, they aren’t the only things hiding in your bed sheets. Here’s what you also may be sleeping in:

• Dead skin cells – Your body sheds about a million skin cells a day, so some of those are bound to come off when you sleep. Unfortunately, dead skin cells are a tasty snack for dust mites.
• Oils – Your body secretes natural oils as you sleep, which, of course, end up on your bed sheets.
• Sweat – If you get too hot during the night, your body will sweat to cool off.
• Bodily fluids – Saliva, blood, urine, fecal matter and bodily fluids from intercourse are all liable to show up on your bed sheets.
• Food crumbs – If you like to bring that midnight snack to bed, there’s probably crumbs and other food particles that are begging to be eaten by bugs.

How Often Should You Wash Your Bed Sheets?

• If you’re washing your sheets only once a month, that’s not going to cut it. Your sheets need to be washed at least every other week, but weekly is ideal.
• It’s also important to wash your pillow at least twice a year. Pillows can harbor mold, yeast and bacteria, which can cause diarrhea, asthma or bronchitis. If you have never washed your pillow, you may want to consider throwing it away and getting a new one.
• If you are taking care of someone who is sick, you should try to wash the sheets every day so that person isn’t recuperating in a germ-filled bed. If you aren’t able to wash them every day, then just changing the pillowcase daily should suffice.

It’s only natural

• Most of us have a natural dip in alertness between 2 – 4pm.
• A 15 minute nap when you’re tired can be a very effective way of staying alert throughout the day. Avoid napping for longer than 20 minutes, after which you will enter deep sleep and feel even worse when you wake up.

See a doctor if your problem continues

• If you have trouble falling asleep night after night, or if you always feel tired the next day, you might have a sleep disorder. It is advisable to seek more advice from your doctor. Most sleep disorders can be treated effectively.
