Washing bed linen is a difficult task for many housewives.

And this is not surprising, because they have to make a difficult decision: how to simultaneously clean sheets and duvet covers from sweat and grease stains without damaging the color and texture of the fabric.

To successfully solve the first problem, you need a temperature of 90 degrees, but in this case, you should be prepared for the fact that after 2 hours in the washing machine, even the highest quality product will acquire a worn-out appearance.

If you use a delicate wash with a temperature not exceeding 40 degrees, this will not be enough for complete laundry hygiene.

Through trial and error, it was found that the optimal temperature for washing bed linen is 60 degrees.

In addition, if you want to enjoy the washing results, approach the choice of washing powder and fabric softener with full responsibility.

As much as we would like to believe in a fairy tale, budget laundry detergents are distinguished by their low cost because the concentration of active components in their composition is 2-3 times lower than in expensive detergents.

There are no such strict requirements for fabric softener, the main thing is that you use it when washing, since tap water in most cases can be described as hard, which over time has a negative effect on the fabric.
