How to Keep a Luxury Dressing Gown Soft, Clean and Beautiful
A great dressing gown is more than a garment. It is a warm hug after a bath, a quiet luxury that turns early mornings into gentle moments. To keep yours feeling soft and looking elegant, give it a little care and attention. The tips below answer the questions customers ask us most often.
How often should you wash a luxury dressing gown
If you wear your gown every day, wash it after three or four uses. For weekend or evening wear only, a simple airing by an open window keeps it fresh. Between washes, hang it on a broad wooden hanger from our Luxury Dressing Gown Collection so the fibres can breathe.
Is it safe to machine wash a gown made from luxury fabric
Cotton or towelling gowns enjoy a gentle machine cycle at thirty degrees Celsius with a mild eco friendly detergent. Skip fabric softeners because they flatten the pile and reduce the thirst of our Egyptian Cotton Towels.
Silk or cashmere prefers a calm soak in cool water and a specialist soap. Rinse softly, press out water with a clean towel and lay flat so the fabric keeps its shape.
How do you keep a dressing gown soft
Choose a pH neutral detergent, avoid very hot water and let the gown dry away from direct heat. When dry, shake it lightly to loosen the fibres and restore its natural loft.
What is the right way to store a luxury dressing gown
Give the gown a padded or broad wooden hanger, protect it from strong light and leave space all around so the fabric can relax. A lavender sachet nearby lends a calm scent that feels like spa life at home.
How should you treat stains
Treat stains quickly and gently. Dab with cold water and mild soap. Never scrub. For stubborn marks on silk or cashmere, a trusted dry cleaner is your best friend.
How do you keep a gown fresh between washes
Let fresh air do the work. Hang your gown in a breezy place for an hour. A light mist of linen spray finished with natural oils keeps the fabric inviting without heavy perfume.
Can gown care be sustainable and luxurious at the same time
Absolutely. Wash only when needed, choose biodegradable detergents and invest in fabrics that stand the test of time. Read more about our mindful approach through The Heritage Partnership.
