If you iron your cotton bedding do you think it’s better to tumble dry first?.

I line dried and there’s little tiny creases my steam generator iron can’t shift.

I iron it when damp if I can.. For this reason, I only wash it when I know I can it off the line or out of the dryer at the right time.

That said, I wouldn't worry about creases. It happens all the time to me, and i just vow to get them next time.

Are you saying it’s not going to look like the white company website?.

Life's too short to iron your bedding! (Apart from pillow cases - everyone knows they HAVE to be ironed 🤷🏼‍♀️).

But I want it to look pristine.

@fluffycloud77. Have you tried line drying until 80% dry and then finishing off in the dryer before ironing.

I find this certainly helps ironing out those stubborn creases.

I am mega fussy with bed linens too. 😁

@fluffycloudland77 sorry for misspelling!

No but I will try it. I gave them a 10 minute tumble but they were dry.
