You”ve always wanted a bedroom that looks like the ones in the home beautiful magazines. You”ve bought your hot bedding and you love it. But how do you care for it to keep it looking hot for years to come?
Different fabrics can be used in bedding, and they require different types of care and washing. For example washing silk in a hot wash and spin will not do it any favors.
But we”re well provided for by the bedding manufacturers. They supply us with proper washing instructions on the bedding. There is always a label that tells us the washing procedure that we need use. You should always write these down as after a while we may not be able to read it. So keep it in the laundry for reference if you forget. And it”s possible to forget if you have different types of bedding with different fabrics in the house.
And when you come to refer to the instructions on the label you can sometimes find that the label has faded and you cannot read them, so write them down.
Basically there are a few tips that you should follow to get it right. You really don”t need to wash in really hot water. Use cool or lukewarm water. It is rare that the sheets are really dirty. And don”t use bleach, it harms the fabric.
You don”t need a lot of detergent to wash sheets, take it easy, and use a gently cycle.
If you”re using a dryer then don”t dry your sheets too long. If you do you”ll create wrinkles, and if you”ve done that you can deal with the wrinkles by throwing a damp cloth into the dryer to reintroduce some moisture. Dry sheets till just dry and no more.
Then hand fold your sheets as they come out of the dryer.
Now a big question. You have a comforter. Should you wash it yourself? Generally no, you can do more harm than good and your washing machine probably isn”t big enough. And if you really want to then you must read the washing instructions really carefully, some types of fill must be dry cleaned. Do it wrong and you”ll be really disappointed. Down for example should be cleaned at the laundromat. And don”t wash it too often, it isn”t necessary. And you must use a cover.
The bottom line is that all bedding comes with instructions on the proper care and washing requirements for that type of sheets. Read the instructions and follow them to the letter and you shouldn”t go wrong.
Do that and you”ll be using your bedding for years to come, and it will still be looking good. You”ll still have that hot looking bedroom.
