Many housewives complain about bed linen wearing out too quickly: some sheets and pillowcases become dull and worn out very early.
You have to buy new products several times a year.
However, there are housewives who manage to keep their bed linen fresh, durable and bright for a long time.
What explains this "strangeness"? The answer is simple: some women wash sheets, duvet covers and pillowcases correctly, while others make gross mistakes.
So, what should you not do with your bedding if you want it to last as long as possible?
Wash rarely
Frequent washing should cause the material to wear out too quickly.
This rule applies to almost everything.
Exceptions are duvet covers, pillowcases and sheets.
There is a simple explanation: these things get a lot of sweat and skin particles. These stains need to be removed quite often.
Bed linen should be washed weekly.
Inappropriate washing mode
Do not wash pillowcases and sheets in water that is hotter than 40 degrees.
Many housewives wash bed linen at a temperature of 60 degrees, and then are surprised that the material quickly deteriorates.
Also, do not make the spin speed too high: it can seriously damage the fabric. Instead of 1200, choose 800.
Application of air conditioner
All types of bed linen are included in the list of things that cannot be “treated” with conditioner.
This product leaves a film on the surface of the product, which deprives the material of its absorbent properties. In addition, dust mites may appear.
There is another important point: when washing sheets and pillowcases, do not overdo it with washing powder.
