New bed linen that has just been bought in a shop looks fresh and clean.
However, some housewives advise to wash new bed linen before using.
The reason is that the process of linen production consists of several steps.
Much dust and microbes fall onto the linen during the process of manufacturing.
Moreover, producers of linen do their best to make it look good, so they use special impregnation to make linen tough and bright for a long period of time.
Impregnation is safe for your health, though some customers don't like its flavour.
Manufactures of bed linen also advise to wash it before using.
How to wash a new bed linen
Choose a powder that doesn't bleach fabrics. If your bed linen is coloured, buy a powder with a label for coloured fabrics.
Turn the linen inside out and hold it in three layers before putting in the washing machine.
If your set of linen is made of cotton or flax, you should wash it with the temperature of 40 degrees in a quick mode.
Rinse the linen with conditioner after main washing.
Choose cold-rinse option in your machine to wash the linen made of wool and silk.
