On the one hand, there is nothing wrong with the appearance of pellets on bed linen, but on the other hand, it is not beautiful and speaks of the unprofessionalism of the hostess.
For particularly pampered people, pellets cause obvious discomfort. Let's figure out whether it is possible to get rid of them or prevent their appearance.
Where do pellets come from?
Housewives often blame the quality of the fabric for the appearance of crumpled fluff particles. This is partly true. Synthetic fibers mainly contribute to this. But it is wrong to blame one manufacturer for everything.
Firstly, the manufacturer leaves care instructions on each product. Violation of basic rules leads to the formation of lumps.
Secondly, bed linen should be washed inside out. All buttons and zippers should be fastened.
Thirdly, be sure to iron satin linen together with steaming. The rest is a matter of taste and desire. How to remove pellets
You can while away many an evening manually plucking those annoying growths from your sheets or pillowcases. The job will go faster if you buy a special machine.
A blade or razor can accidentally damage the fabric, and then patches will appear instead of pellets.
Scotch tape is not very effective in this sense and can only help out at an early stage.
However, the best place to start is by choosing the right fabric.
There will be no pellets
The fabrics that are most likely to pill are knitwear, acrylic and wool, polyester, fleece, nylon and other fabrics with synthetics.
It is also better to avoid linen made from loose fabric or with lint.
Therefore, experienced housewives try to buy linen, silk and cotton underwear.
