The Ultimate Guide to Caring for Your Eclipse Sheeting
Proper care and maintenance are essential to extending the life of your Eclipse Collection sheeting while ensuring top-tier performance and comfort for your guests. Whether you’re managing a hospitality business or simply want to maximize the durability of your linens, following these detailed laundry instructions will help maintain softness, minimize wrinkles, and improve overall efficiency.
Setting Up Your Equipment
Before starting any wash cycle, ensure your washing machines and dryers are calibrated correctly. Consult your chemical company representative for the appropriate wash formula settings for different fabric classifications.
Sorting: The First Step to Quality Laundry
Sorting linens before washing is critical to achieving the best results. This helps optimize chemical use, reduces wrinkling, and ensures a more efficient washing process.
Sort as follows:
✔ Sheets
✔ Pillowcases
Before washing, inspect all linens for stains and pre-treat them using stain removal solutions recommended by your chemical company.
Washing Guidelines for Eclipse Sheeting
To maintain the softness and durability of Eclipse sheeting, follow these essential washing steps:
✅ Do NOT overload the washer – This reduces wrinkling and prolongs the fabric’s life.
✅ Do NOT mix terry towels with bed linens – Different fabrics require different care.
✅ Use the correct wash cycle setup – Refer to your equipment guide.
✅ Follow care label instructions for water temperature:
- Cold: 65°F – 85°F
- Warm: 100°F – 110°F
- Hot: 120°F – 140°F
For best results, always load your washer according to machine capacity. If unsure, consult your chemical service representative.
💡 Tip: Overloading the washer can lead to wrinkled, stiff, or improperly cleaned linens.
Drying Instructions: Prevent Wrinkles & Extend Linen Life
To maintain soft, crisp, and wrinkle-free sheeting, follow these drying steps:
✅ Set the correct drying time and temperature.
✅ Avoid drying terry items with bed linens.
✅ Clean lint traps every 3 to 4 hours for maximum airflow efficiency.
✅ Do not overdry or overload the dryer.
Recommended Drying Settings for Eclipse Sheeting
| Item | Dry Time (Minutes) | Cool Down (Minutes) | Temperature Setting | Temperature (°F) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sheets | 10 | 5 | Low | 120-130°F |
| Pillowcases | 15 | 5 | Low | 120-130°F |
Dryer Efficiency & Maintenance
The efficiency of your dryer depends on airflow, which can be improved by cleaning lint traps regularly. Ensure your machine’s temperature settings are accurate by having your chemical representative calibrate the dryer knobs and digital readouts.
💡 Tip: Always remove linens immediately after the drying cycle to prevent creasing and wrinkling. Instead of dumping them into carts, drape them over to relax the fibers before folding.
Troubleshooting Common Laundry Issues
Wrinkling Issues? Try This!
🔹 Check for overdrying – Reduce drying time if necessary.
🔹 Separate fitted sheets from flat sheets – Elastic bands can cause extra tangling.
🔹 Ensure proper dryer load capacity – Overloading leads to excess wrinkles.
✅ Correct drying temperatures help minimize wrinkles, increase efficiency, and reduce operational costs.
Dealing With Static?
Low dryer temperatures are a common cause of static buildup. To eliminate static:
✔ Ensure dryers are running at the correct temperature – Have them calibrated.
✔ Adjust softener dosage with the help of your chemical company.
✔ Consider anti-static solutions like X-Static™ block from Ecolab.
Still Experiencing Drying Issues?
If linens remain damp after the cycle, try these adjustments:
1️⃣ Increase the heat cycle by 1-minute increments.
2️⃣ Reduce the cool-down time by 1–2 minutes (not less than 3 minutes).
3️⃣ If the dryer runs on the lower end of a temperature range, adjust to the next higher setting.
4️⃣ Reduce the number of items per load.
🚫 Do NOT leave damp laundry in the washer or laundry cart overnight!
Final Thoughts
Proper care of your Eclipse Collection sheeting is crucial to maintaining their quality, maximizing lifespan, and enhancing guest comfort. By sorting properly, washing at the right temperature, drying with care, and troubleshooting issues, you ensure that your linens always look and feel luxurious.
For any specific recommendations, consult your chemical service representative to fine-tune wash formulas and dryer settings for optimal performance.
