PB Easy Care finish sheets

[Anonymous]

Anyone have Pottery Barn sheets with the easy care finish?

I'm wondering just how smooth and soft they are out of the dryer? I hate having to iron my sheets and would love it if these truly emerge from the dryer smooth.

Thanks!

I just bought some from PB Kids, and they seem to come out of the dryer fairly smooth. BUT they have quite a pronounced gasoline-type smell, which I hope will disappear by the time I've washed them 10-12 times (which I'm doing at the moment, before I put them on anyone's bed). Martha Stewart sheets apparently had a similar problem. Frankly, I wish I had bought the boring but safe organic sheets.

PP here. After washing the sheets all weekend, I find they no longer smell. But now they look fairly rumpled when they come out of the dryer. Possible that I'm stuffing too much in there, but I have a lot of new sheets to wash!

Doesn't it worry you that the sheets smell(ed) like gasoline? Sometimes those wrinkle free/easy care products contain nasty chemicals.

Well, duh, that's why I've washed them about a million times. And as I said, I wish I had bought the organic ones in retrospect, but these are the ones we have now.

OP here. Thanks PP. To make sure I'm understanding correctly, the gasoline smell does wear off but takes with it the smoothness?

I think I'll just continue to iron the sheets and go with something organic as well. My problem is sometimes I get very large, deep creases in my sheets (all are 400+ thread count) that are impossible to get out by ironing. I suppose I could go get them pressed but they're sheets!
