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.

Yes! I have had mine for about 6 months and have washed it at least weekly. It still feels like new. Always wash in cold water, tumble dry low and never use fabric softener or dryer sheets.

Really, just wash by themselves (not with any other laundry) in cold water with extra rinse and NEVER use any fabric softener. You get into trouble when you use detergents with extra ingredients like fabric softeners, oxyclean, brighteners, etc. Dry without fabric softeners on low heat. If you air dry the cloth will become stuff and scratchy. And if you wash or dry with other laundry you risk lint balls ruining the cloth.

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

I've washed it a few times; after 5 or so wearings, I'd guess. I don't remember the washing instructions (and it's not close by), but I just throw it in with the normal laundry -- cold water wash/rinse, medium/low dry. I used regular detergent but no fabric softener as I use dryer balls. It came out good as new.

I put them in the washer with towels on a sanitary (extra hot and long) cycle. In the dryer, no fabric softener.

I use a very soft linen cloth. Something like a tea towel. I ever so lightly moisted it with water and that usually does the trick.

The Magnolia Estate Collection sheets are much softer and thicker after washing

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 haven't washed it, but would assume after multiple washes it will soften.

I washed it once and the top is still scratchy but the under side is soft. I bought egyptian sheets and keep the top kind of folded over the top part so I don't feel the scratchy part. The Really are beautiful tho. I hope this helped

The label says: machine wash warm with like colors - only non clotine bleach when needed. tumble dry low. remove promptly. medium iron if needed. I say: it looks ok w/o ironing until you sleep on it - then the top sheet gets pretty wrinkled. I still turn it down & just try to smooth it with my hand. It certainly does NOT look crisp if you are going for that look. I really like the set & will put up with some wrinkles.

They go right in the washing machine, on hot, with sheets & towels. No fabric softener, but oxyclean. Hang to dry, athough they're pretty much dry after the cycle's done. Hope that helps! I am very happy with these.

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'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 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

I didn't find mine to be still at all however, after use and washing it will more than likely soften up.
