Bed linen that has not been washed for a long time develops fungi, mold and dust mites.
The surface becomes wet and this environment is excellent for the development of pathogens.
In what mode should you wash bed linen
The mode for washing bed linen directly depends on what material your sleep set is made of.
“Cotton and linen” mode: for heavily soiled laundry, the maximum temperature is set to 90C;
For washing delicate colored and white items with slight dirt, 40C is sufficient.
What to add when washing bed linen
Wash clothes in cool water on a delicate cycle.
Some experts suggest following these instructions: wash your bedding with a cup of baking soda first, then add white vinegar when rinsing.
Both baking soda and vinegar soften water, reducing the impact on soft tissue.
Where to store bed linen and towels
It is recommended to store bed linen as close as possible to the places where it is directly used or in specially designed storage areas - i.e. in bedrooms or storage rooms (dressing rooms).
As a rule, it is stored on a separate shelf in the wardrobe.
