Agree, it is hardly possible to use all the pillowcases and sheets in the house at the same time.

That's why some of them literally remain locked in the closet for years while the owners actively use their favorite bedding sets.

Due to the long period of time spent locked up, duvet covers and other textiles begin to emit an unpleasant smell. If you are faced with such a problem, you will find a solution in this article.

Collect all the laundry that is emitting an unwanted odor and place it in the washing machine drum.

Add vinegar here (you can pour it into the detergent compartment, it doesn’t matter).

All that remains is to wash all the bed linen at a temperature of at least 60 degrees.

And then the laundry should dry properly, and it will be better if you send it out to dry in the open air.

If you don't want to wash a whole shelf of clothes from your closet at once, try steaming them with an iron. But even in this case, the bed linen should be thoroughly dried after the procedure.

Earlier we wrote about how to iron things without an iron – with a saucepan.
