Proper care of your bed and bath linens is essential for maintaining their quality and extending their lifespan. Follow these straightforward steps to keep your linens looking and feeling their best.

Rotate Regularly

• Bedding: Change your bed linens, including sheet sets, every two weeks. For a fresher feel, consider changing pillowcases weekly, especially if you frequently use hair and skin care products.
• Bath Linens: Wash bath towels weekly to keep them fresh and clean.

Tip: Regular rotation of bedding and towels significantly enhances their durability.

Pretreat Stains

To tackle old and new stains from makeup, lotion, and body oils, apply a stain remover directly to the affected areas before laundering.

Tip: Dinginess and yellowing often result from dirt, oil, and mineral buildup. To prevent this, wash and dry your linens separately from clothing.

Launder with Care

• Machine Wash: Use a normal cycle with cold to warm water for optimal cleaning. Remember, using too much detergent can leave a residue, making towels feel stiff—so when in doubt, use less.
• Tumble Dry: Set your dryer to a low heat and low tumble cycle to preserve the fibers, colors, and elasticity of your linens. Limiting drying time is key to maintaining their quality.

Store Properly

Store your bedding and bath linens in a clean, dry area. Avoid plastic storage, as it can lead to yellowing. Instead, opt for breathable cotton storage bags to protect your linens from moisture and pests.

Avoid Certain Products

When washing towels, steer clear of fabric softeners and dryer sheets. While they may make your laundry feel softer, they can reduce the absorbency of your towels over time.
