Incorrect washing of bed linen. What 7 mistakes can ruin it forever

21.05.2023 01:00

If your bedding quickly becomes unusable, don't immediately blame the washing machine.

Fabrics can also lose their color if they are not cared for properly. What we do wrong:

1. Ignore the label

It is on the product label that the manufacturer provides information on the washing mode, temperature and other important details.

2. Wash after obvious stains

In this case, the fabric becomes heavily clogged with dirt particles, epithelium, sweat. Externally, it gradually becomes worn out even after washing. It is recommended to wash the bed linen twice a month.

3. Overdoing it with powder

In this case, the fabric fiber quickly becomes unusable and wears out. Excess powder is difficult to rinse out.

4. Wash bedding along with clothes

Towels, clothes and linens require specific washing modes. Friction in the machine of different fabrics will contribute to their wear, and all sorts of locks and buttons can easily damage the material of sheets and duvet covers.

5. Choose a strong mode

It is better to wash in the intensity recommended by the manufacturers. Or choose more gentle modes.

6. Allow the machine to be overloaded

If you overload the washing machine, the laundry will hardly rinse well. There should always be some free space in the drum.

7. We dry it incorrectly

It is not advisable to overdry the material. This will cause the fabric to shrink and wrinkle. Linen should be ironed while still damp. And bright items should not be dried in the open sun, so that the fabric does not fade.
