When
you go to buy bed linens, you can find lots of different colours, patterns and fabrics.
As many different choices available, there are as many different ways of caring
for them. Colours must be protected and material must be treated just right.
But you
don't need to be puzzled about how to care for each of your choices.
It's a
great idea to save the care instructions wrapped with every piece of bed linen,
Yet beyond specific instructions are some general, common sense tips for
purchasing, cleaning, and caring for sheets, pillow cases, and other bed linens
Below, I've listed general tips on cleaning and caring for your bed linens.
Bed
Sheets
·
Washing
o
Wash the linens in cool water, No need for hot water.
o
Using a washing machine, Set wash cycle on "gentle."
The sheets aren't really dirty.
o
Use the extra rinse cycle if available in order to remove any
detergent residue.
o
Use less detergent than usual. (Our Nigerian detergents are very
strong and your sheets aren't too dirty.)
o
Avoid using bleach since it breaks down fabric fibers.
·
Drying
o
Avoid over drying, you’ll have many wrinkles.
o
Remove sheets from the dryer promptly and fold immediately. Hand
press to remove excess wrinkles.
o
For a crisp neat-looking bed, iron all bed linens.
Pillow
Cases
·
If you find pillow cases that you particularly love, buy a few
extra. Pillow cases wear out more quickly than sheets.
·
Iron pillowcases for fresh, crisp good looks on your bed.
·
Change pillowcases at least once in two weeks in normal
climates, once a week in hot and humid
regions.
Storage
·
It's a great idea to have at least three sets of sheets per bed.
·
Rotate the sheets sets you use (vs. the sets you store)
frequently so they wear evenly.
·
Change sheets once in two weeks in normal climates, more often
in hot and humid regions.
With this handy tips, No one has any excuse as to why they do not have a clean, durable and comfortable bed.
Always Remember, Sweet life starts with a sweet dream!
