Why is it important to clean my bedding?

Caring for your bedding is essential for hygiene, comfort, and longevity. Regular cleaning helps keep allergens and bacteria away, which will help improve your sleep quality and overall health. By properly maintaining your bedding, you not only extend its lifespan but also create a more restful and comfortable sleep environment.

How often should I wash my bedding?

We suggest washing your bedding every one to two weeks, but we understand that might not be possible for everyone. The key is to just change and wash your bedding regularly. Pillowcases should ideally be cleaned weekly, while doonas/quilts, protectors, sheets, and blankets don’t need to be washed as often. Always refer to the care labels for specific instructions, or check out our dedicated care guides for more details.

How should I store my bedding?

To store your bedding, start by ensuring its freshly cleaned and completely dry to avoid mould and unpleasant odours. Next, fold the items neatly and place them in a cool, dry, and breathable space, like a cupboard or wardrobe.

What should I do if my bedding has an odour?

If your bedding has an unpleasant odour, we suggest starting by washing it following the instructions on the care label. After washing, ensure the bedding is completely dry, as any moisture can lead to odours returning. If the smell continues, try airing the bedding in an open space or under direct sunlight.

Can I use bleach on my bedding products?

While bleach can be used for whitening or removing stains for some bedding products, it's important to check the care labels first, as it may not always be suitable or recommended.

Waterproof Pillow Protectors

Tontine waterproof pillow protectors offer the ultimate in protection for your pillows.

Because they’re waterproof, these pillow protectors provide a barrier for moisture migration to the pillow, so the pillow won’t get discoloured or stained because of sweat, saliva or any of life’s little mishaps.

Stain Resistant Pillow Protectors

Stain resistance pillow protectors also help keep pillows looking clean and white, but they do it in a different way to waterproof pillow protectors. Rather than completely stopping moisture that can stain the pillow from reaching the pillow, they absorb moisture that caused discolouration and stains and release those stains during washing, so they too remain looking clean and white.

Anti Allergy Pillow Protectors

Anti Allergy pillow protectors feature an anti-microbial treatment which inhibits the growth of bacteria, as well as mould and dust mites, which are known triggers of allergies and asthma.

If you or anyone in your family suffers from allergies or asthma, these pillow protectors make a great choice.

To provide you with complete peace of mind, Tontine Anti Allergy pillow protectors are approved by the National Asthma Council of Australia.

Quilted Pillow Protectors

Quilted pillow protectors not only protect your pillow, they also provide an extra level of comfort as well.
