You should wash your bed linen as often as possible to enjoy clean and fresh sheets and pillowcases.

However, bacteria often accumulate in large quantities on such things, which can negatively affect health.

But many argue about what temperature such things should be washed at to ensure a high-quality procedure.

As experts note, the ideal temperature is 60 degrees.

This is the best way to destroy germs that accumulate in the fabric.

But here a lot also depends on the material.

This temperature is perfect for washing duvet covers and pillowcases made of linen, satin and calico.

If you need to wash cotton, it is better to set the temperature to 40 degrees.

When it comes to more delicate materials, such as silk, it is better to wash such items at 30 degrees.
