There are 5 popular mistakes when washing bed linen that every home makes at least once without even realizing it.
All of them significantly reduce the service life of linen, and if we are going to talk about saving, then this is clearly not the topic, otherwise the sets will have to be updated one after another.
Therefore, if you want to avoid unplanned expenses, do the following.
1. Wash separately
Bed linen should not be shoved into the drum together with towels and anything similar in color and fabric composition. This will cause things to mix up and not be washed or rinsed well. Not to mention the temperature regime, which must be observed taking into account the features of the fabric composition and the detergents used.
2. Air conditioning is unnecessary
Savvy housewives have long noticed that this product is difficult to wash out of fibers. Its gradual accumulation in the material makes things hard, the laundry does not absorb moisture well, dries longer, and wears out faster.
3. Change more often
On the one hand, frequent washing reduces the lifespan of linen, but not as much as changing it infrequently. The less often you change sheets and pillowcases, the higher the temperature will have to be raised in order to wash them the first time, and this again harms the matter.
4. Washing mode
If we are talking about washing temperature, then 50 degrees is the upper limit. The optimal option for spinning is 700-800 revolutions per minute. Such laundry can be ironed after washing without steaming.
5. Powder
Many housewives agree that it is better to stock up on washing gel for this case. Powder is worse rinsed out of fabric, more often leads to allergic reactions, which is already fraught with health problems.
