A bed sheet may not be as expensive as buying a new mattress but we surely do not want our bedsheets dirty and we want to care for them in order to keep them clean and make them last longer. There are a few things that you can do in order to clean the care of your bedding.
Should I wash my sheets regularly?
The thing is, many people still think that they are in college, so they don’t have to wash their stuff on a regular basis. The reality is you’re not in college anymore, you have to clean your bed sheets on a regular basis or at least once a month in order to get rid of all the sweat and body oils and make it look clean.
The best way to wash the bedsheets?
There is more than one way to effectively wash your bed sheet, you can use the combination of all those methods and the exact method used would also depend upon the fabric of your bed sheet. The most common way is to take your bedsheets out of your bed and toss them inside a washing machine and then let them go for a spin. It is the most effective manner but makes sure you do not mix up different color bed sheets and other things that you keep in mind during normal laundry.
Spot-treat bedding
Now yes, we did say before that you not in college anymore, but that doesn’t mean that you do not want a cup of coffee on your bed or a pizza. But getting these things can be really harmful to your bedsheets because any kind of stain on your bed sheet can stay there for a long period of time and you would need to provide extra attention to those spots using specific solutions that contain oxygenated bleach in order to get rid of those spots.
Should you use fabric softener?
As mentioned before, the quality of the cleaning process depends upon the fabric of the bedsheet. If it is a very high-quality fabric, the quality will not deteriorate and it will stay, the opposite is possible for the lower quality bed sheets. In order to reduce the ill effects of cleaning and mixing the bedsheets with washing solutions, there is a product called fabric softener which softens the fabric and protects it from any damage. You can surely use it if you think that the bed sheet is old or your fabric is weak.
Wash your pillows as well
Now that you got yourself to clean your bed sheets on regular basis, why not clean the pillows as well because pillows are as important to clean as your bedsheets because they do collect drool, dust, and any such other things. You need to clean those pillows at least once a season and it doesn’t matter what your situation is.
