Due to 3 mistakes, beautiful pillowcases, sheets and duvet covers quickly become covered in pilling and sometimes even holes.
In addition, the color changes. The bed linen becomes dull, and it seems as if the items were poorly washed.
There are 3 most common reasons why this happens.
The drum is full to capacity
Modern washing machines are designed for an average of 5-6 kg of laundry. But experts do not recommend loading the drum 100%.
It is better to leave some volume in reserve. The optimal option is considered to be 80% of the total volume and weight. In this case, the fabric will wash and rinse better.
Towels
During the washing process, terry towels act as a kind of “sandpaper” on bed linen.
Due to friction from rough surfaces, pilling and holes appear on sheets, pillowcases and duvet covers.
Lots of powder
If the product is also cheap or simply not suitable for the given bed linen, then there is a high probability that the product will fade.
Experts advise choosing “soft” gels and carefully calculating the dosage in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
