Sometimes washing bed linen is a difficult task. Still, you need to ensure that the material is not damaged, and the items are clean and fresh.

Therefore, before throwing pillowcases and duvet covers into the drum of the machine, you need to consider a few simple rules.

Preparing for washing

Before washing, bed linen should be turned inside out. This will help preserve its color.

It is also advisable to wash colored items separately from white ones.

In addition, you need to separate your laundry by material. You should not wash synthetics and natural materials together, otherwise the fabric may be damaged.

It is also important to remember that children's pillowcases and sheets should always be washed separately from adults'.

Loading things

In order for the laundry to be washed well and the washing machine not to be overloaded, it is necessary to observe the loading norm. For example, if the items are made of cotton, then you can load a full drum, but at the same time, duvet covers and other accessories should lie loosely, and not tightly.

When it comes to synthetics, it is acceptable to load the drum only halfway, and in the case where you need to wash delicate fabrics, it is acceptable to load the machine a third full.

Drying

The spin cycle in the machine can be set to maximum.

It is better to dry clothes in the open air. If this is not possible, then a tumble dryer with a gentle mode will do.

You can also hang things indoors. It is important that it is well ventilated. You cannot leave pillowcases and other linen on heating devices.
