HOW I CARE FOR MY BED LINENS.

Berry Dakara



Hey Bedding lovers,

 It is a known fact that we do not take out time to protect our beddings as best as we can which lead me to this post. Below, i am going to explain how i wash my bed linens and how often i do it.  When I wash my sheets, I wash them separately from my towels or other clothing. This gives the sheets more room to circulate in the water, which means they'll get cleaner faster. Don’t think this process is long, I use my sheet at least 1 week and at most 2 weeks so am done washing it in 10 minutes. Also, I usually treat stains before washing my sheets. Please note that it is wrong to use bleach as it can damage the fabric and reduce its lifespan. A trick I have shared with people is to include a cup of lemon juice to the wash water instead of bleach. This also helps to brighten my sheets.



FEW GUIDELINES TO GO BY

Wash your sheets weekly OR biweekly to extend the lifespan.

During the time spent on the bed, dirt, dust, skin cells, body oils and fluids accumulate on sheets. These puts stress on the sheet fibers. To reduce the washing frequency, bathe before bedtime so you'll take less dirt into bed with you. Keeping sweat, oils, and dirt out of the bed will keep the sheets clean and you enjoy your sheets longer. 


 P.S: I will be talking about the lovely bed linen you see in this post soon.

The ABC of Bedding




JONATHAN ADLER


Sleeping in bed is the most rejuvenating part of a person's life. So a comfortable bed and bedding that complements the overall bedroom décor is a must. Since bed sheets are the most visible part of a bed, high quality bed sheets can make quite a difference to the visual appeal and comfort level of the room.

Here are a few tips on choosing the right kind of bedsheets:

While most of the mattresses come in standard sizes such as 'King-sized', 'Queen-sized' and 'Full-sized', the customized mattresses with pillow tops and other accessories attached to them can make them larger and wider.

Thus, it is better to measure the bed and the mattress size that you use beforehand, so that the bedsheets you buy are of appropriate sizes.

Cotton bedsheets are the most popular ones though one can use flannel and cotton mixed fabrics as bedsheets depending on our taste.

On the high end of fashion and comfort level, satins and silks with their soft feel on skin win almost every romantic heart.
Colours and designs of the bedsheets should match the overall theme and colour scheme of the room, though it can have a deeper hue than the colour of the walls.

Do you remember when all bed sheets were white cotton? If so, you're probably amazed at how many options are on the market now. You can add colour, style, and pattern to your bedroom with the newest bedding. Choose Cotton or Blends, Flannel, Silk, or Satin
For sheets you'll sleep on every day, treat yourself.

Choose the best you can afford. After all, you'll hopefully spend 8 hours a day lying on them! Cotton is the most popular sheet fabric, but some people prefer non-wrinkling cotton blends.

For luxury, choose satin, silk, or microfibre. You might buy a pair of pillowcases in different styles and see which you like best, how they feel to sleep on, how they wash.

Remember that many sheets will shrink as much as 7% in the first washing.

Buy More Bed Sheets Than You Need
If you've spent a lot of time deciding on what bed sheets to buy, you won't want to have to do it again soon. Consider buying two or three sets that are identical so you can trade off. If something spills on the bottom sheet, you can replace just that. If someone puts a foot through the top sheet, you won't have to start over. And be sure to add extra pillow cases for freshness.


Check the Laundering Instructions
Silk sheets are sensuous and wonderful, but will you have to have them dry cleaned each week? Can you afford that? Be sure that you'll be able to care for your new bed sheets the way the manufacturer recommends. They'll last longer.
