Buying a new set of bed linen is certainly a pleasant event.
There is only one thought that darkens it, which haunts many housewives: is it necessary to wash new bed linen before using it?
In short, yes: before you put a new set of sheets on it, you need to wash it – machine or hand.
There are several reasons that explain the necessity of this action.
Firstly, this will disinfect the linen before contact with the skin, and secondly, it will remove any remaining dyes and soften the fabric.
According to the rules, the first wash of duvet covers and pillowcases is carried out using a very small amount of detergent and at a temperature not exceeding 40 degrees.
When discussing the issue of detergents used, gels are considered the best option, especially if the set is made of delicate fabrics.
Powder granules often do not dissolve completely (especially when washing at low temperatures), and the same thing happens with the shell of washing capsules.
And if you want the fabric to become softer and more pleasant to the body, and the linen to acquire a light aroma, add conditioner to the gel.
