Washing is an important stage of cleaning and maintaining cleanliness in the house. Of course, almost every member of the modern generation knows how to use a washing machine correctly. However, not all housewives guess that it is necessary to wash bed linen in a special way. This is the only way it will serve for a long time, will not wear out and will not lose its bright and rich color.
How to wash bed linen
According to experts, it is best to wash bed linen once a week. If we are talking about the summer period, then it is better to increase the amount of washing - once every 5 days. In addition to the frequency of washing, it is also important to pay attention to the temperature you choose when setting the washing machine mode. Too high temperature and too low - equally bad.
Linen made of cotton, linen or satin is perfectly cleaned at a temperature of 60 degrees. If the linen made of the same material is white, then it should be washed at a slightly higher temperature. However, it is important to consider that linen can shrink if washed at a temperature of more than 70 degrees. Also, washing at too high a temperature can cause premature wear of the fabric.
That is why it is better to wash linen made of bamboo, poplin and synthetics at a temperature of 40 degrees. If you have a bed made of silk or jacquard, then choose 30 degrees. By the way, ticks and other pests are destroyed only at a temperature of more than 50 degrees. Since this temperature is far from suitable for every type of fabric, it is worth adding a little oxygen bleach to the detergent, which has the ability to destroy microorganisms even in slightly warm water.
