What can I do to soften the fabric. After washing, the sheets are very rough.

It usually takes several washes for them to become real soft. I washed mine in warm water 3 times before putting them on my bed. We've washed them about 5 times total now and ours are super soft.

I would return them. Cotton sateen should be soft and silky!! Mine are softer now than they were when I washed them for the first time.

Use a fabric softener such as Downey in the wash and/or Bounce in the drier.

I'm sorry I can't help you, Jerry. Mine is relatively new and therefore, I have not yet washed and dried it. When I do get ready to wash and dry it, I will dry it on a low setting because that's what I generally use. I can tell you that I love this mattress pad because it is soooooo comfy.

I have no idea but if you wash it, I would refrain from using any sort of fabric softener.

I actually did put them in the washer and they were fine. Do NOT put them in the dryer. Or you make soak them in warm water with fabric detergent. Rinse well and Air dry.

Yes, and I just did them in my new LG dryer on the correct setting, still wrinkled, but once you spread them out on the bed, they seem to relax (except for the top rim)Guess if we want the sheets our Mom's did for us, it is back to the ironing board as they are all cotton. I do however like the feel of them when in bed. (use little heat when drying)

I have 4 of these and I have washed them. Use cold water if they are not very dirty and a mild detergent. I used a small amount of vinegar as the rinse agent. You have to make sure that you thoroughly dry the comforter. Use very low heat setting on the dryer or hang outside if you live in a dry climate. My comforters did shrink a little, but they did so evenly and it was because I used warm water for the wash setting. These are wonderful comforters, I will never go back to down. They are so comfortable and well made and they get even softer after washing. You don't have to wash them very often, use sunshine and fresh air for the majority of the cleaning. Hope this helped? BTW: I have a front load washer - I think it is a bit gentler than the top loaders.

I always use fabric softener in the rinse cycle and dry in dryer, they came out soft and wrinkle free.

I've used the washer and dryer. It's not as soft as it was but I think that was probably inevitable. Nowadays I can't pull it away from my daughter long enough for a full wash cycle so I just give it a quick hand wash with a tiny bit of all free and clear, rinse well, ring it out- and give it back a little damp. It air dries fast.

I wash it in the washing machine with rags, etc - no Fabric Softener - I ordered a beck up refill so it is ready when I need it. I really like the product. I hope this helps.

i wash it on gentle and lay to dry. then, fluff back up with fingers. I made a blanket and pillow covers. I love it.

I had to flat iron them after washing and drying because they scrunched but not I'm a cute way. Maybe try rolling them with a large roller

Mine have been washed MANY times. They are softer, no issues. I put them in the washer and dryer.

not sure, i haven't done so...i'd probably dry clean it instead. i'd worry that it wouldn't be as soft if put into the dryer.

I washed it in the washing machine - delicate cycle. Low heat/delicate dry. Or hang dry. When it came out of the washer, it was a bit twisted inside, but I was able to fix no problem. The 2nd one I purchased when it came out of the washer it was twisted too much. I ended up cutting at the seam a 1/4" length and used the back end of a pencil to smooth & straighten it. Then I stitched it up. Worked quite well and not a ton of hassle. After the initial machine wash for both of them, I just hand wash or wipe with wet cloth since.

I'm all natural, so never use fabric softener. There sometimes seems to be a little static, depending on what is in the dryer, but the close, especially towels come out nice.

I dont think there's anything you can do about that. . . . maybe just pray that it slowly reaches normal size. Btw, the one I had became soft after about a year of use.

I just wash them in the washing machine in hot water with normal detergent and dry them in the dryer without fabric softener. I use them in the kitchen for everything, including fine straining, hence not using fabric softener. IF they get really greasy, you can throw a cupful of vinegar into the washer with them.
