Washing bed linen under special control of experienced housewives. It is believed that high temperature reduces the service life of sheets and duvet covers.

But if you need to wash the set after a long illness, then you can’t rinse all the bacilli in cool water. What should you do?

In fact, to get a nearly sterile set, you don’t need to turn on the washing mode with a water temperature of 90 degrees Celsius.

And it is also frivolous to believe that with a 40-degree wash, the settled bacilli will probably die.

There are no problems with white linen – you can splash a little chlorine bleach, but this is not the most humane method.

An option available to every housewife for washing bed linen of any color is to add a little baking soda to the household chemicals tray along with the powder.

It is capable of destroying bacteria and making laundry almost sterile.

Don't forget to treat your mattress and pillow too!
