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've washed mine in the washing machine. I use the delicate setting and regular laundry soap and it doesn't seem to hurt the fabric

I had a set of sheets that did that, and I tossed them. They were very cheap and after that experience, I always looked for a better quality sheet set. These Pinzon sheets from Amazon are excellent.

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.

It is soft, however, I'm not sure it would sufficiently retain it's shape after a run in the washing machine.

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

Things which have burned on can be softened, then removed. Put the pan in a large container of warm water with a fabric softener sheet lie those you put in the dryer. Let sit for several hours.

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.

Wash sheets with warm/cold water. Tumble dry. They are amazing. Only issue I have seen is that I have a large pillow top and sheets become untucked. If I had a do over I would of got a size up.

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'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.

Im not sure what you are talking about. But I use dryer sheets and fabric softness.

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.

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

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.

First thing I did was wash it, because you felt something hard fabric, stay well, soft, I bought the black, which is not very very black, remain the same color and the same size. All good.

Mine were very absorbant after just one wash. What kind of detergent did you use? You don't use fabric softener in the dryer do you? I just use All Free & Clear and they worked great immediately.
