Should bed linen be ironed: only a few know the correct answer
Ironing linen is not the most pleasant task. When it comes to bed linen, housewives try to be cunning, just to finish this task as soon as possible.
Then the bed linen is put on the shelves in the closet, where it waits its turn. But is it worth spending so much time and effort if the linen will get wrinkled one way or another?
It turns out that ironing bed linen after washing and drying is not the healthiest thing to do.
Even though ironed sheets and duvet covers look neater, this is not yet an argument in favor of ironing.
Experts claim that after heat treatment the fabric becomes less hygroscopic, i.e. it absorbs moisture worse.
This is especially important in the summer, when wet sheets can cause skin diseases, irritation or allergies.
What can we say about the fact that along with this, the quality of night rest also decreases.
The only time when the question of ironing should not exist at all is when ironing children's clothes.
Additional heat treatment helps to destroy any bacteria remaining after washing.
