People are always looking for ways to make the bedroom as relaxing and comfortable as possible and with good reason. It is easier to fall asleep and recharge when sleeping in a cozy and beautiful place. Beddings are a big part of creating a comfortable bedroom. Here are ways to always keep your bedding in tip-top shape.
1. Wash Your Sheets Regularly and Properly
It would be best if you washed your sheets once every week or after two weeks, depending on your sleeping patterns and when you would like to wash them based on your preferences.
For example, stylish Modafashionada bedding has dark colors, and so can’t be washed the same way as white ones. Experts recommend using warm or cold water when washing your bedsheets because it will help protect the color and keep the fabric from shrinking. Hot water can easily destroy your bedding.
2. Use Oxygenated or Natural Bleach If Necessary
Always remember to remove makeup before going to bed to avoid staining the bedding (and keep your skin healthier). If there is any staining, bleach is your best friend.
If you have to bleach your sheets, choose oxygenated bleach over chlorine bleach because the latter is too aggressive on bedding fabrics. You can also use natural bleach.
3. Dry Sheets and Prevent Wrinkles
After washing them, put them inside the dryer on moderate heat. Take them out of the dryer when still a little damp and lay them flat to prevent them from wrinkling. When they dry up completely, spread them on the bed, or fold them nicely, and store them in a dry and cool place.
4. Wash Duvets and Comforters Depending on Their Fillings
The washing process for your duvet or comforter is almost the same as for bedsheets. You can clean them weekly or monthly, depending on how you use them. If you don’t use a top sheet when sleeping, wash it once a week.
Each blanket may need a different washing method because they have different fillings, such as polyester fiber, cotton batting, or wool. Always check the manufacturers’ washing instructions before you start washing them because some of the old comforters cannot be washed at home.
Even though most duvets can be cleaned in the machine, it is hard for them to fit into them. If this happens, use a bathtub or children’s swimming pool and walk on it to remove stains.
4. Clean Your Pillows Often
If you want your pillows to last for as long as possible, a zippered pillow protector will come in handy. It will ensure that the middle of your pillow is protected from dirt such as body oils, hair, and pet fur, which can get inside the pillow.
Wash the pillow protectors once every month and the pillows at least twice a year. Fortunately for you, most pillows can be washed in a machine. Check the label to firm first before tossing it into the washer. Use liquid detergent instead of powder and rinse them more than once.
When it comes to drying them, be mindful of the fillings. Set the lowest heat for leather and down pillows, and low heat for polyester pillows.
5. Clean Your Mattress with Baking Soda
If your mattress has tiny stain spots, baking soda will do the trick, but a steam cleaner will be a better choice if the stain has grime. Cleaning your mattress properly using these methods will help reduce your allergies, decrease dust mites and improve your sleeping patterns and health.
Keep Where You Sleep Hygenic
Your bed should offer comfort and privacy. Therefore, it is worth investing time and effort to care for your bedding so you will always have a clean place to rest. Follow these tips for the best results.
