Who among us will not be pleased after a hard day's work to lie down in a cozy, fresh, soft bed. Quality bed linen is a key moment in the interior design of the bedroom. Today, manufacturers provide a huge selection not only in types of fabric, but also in colors. It is now possible to choose a sleeping set for every taste and budget, and in order for it to serve for a long time, it is necessary to ensure high-quality care for the product.
Keeping laundry fresh
First of all, it is necessary that the bed linen is well ventilated. There are a few hacks for this:
- Choose quality fabrics such as linen, cotton, satin or silk. Natural fabrics provide access to air, which means that bed linen will stay fresh longer.
- After sleeping, make it a habit not to make your bed right away. Let the fabric breathe.10-15 minutes will be enough to keep the bed fresh.
- After washing, try to dry bed linen on the balcony in summer and winter. Of course, this is only worth doing if the sun on your balcony is not too bright, because the color may fade. Also, if the windows of the balcony do not overlook the roadway, because in this case the linen will not be especially clean even after washing.
Try to wash the kit as much as possible, according to the manufacturer's recommendations. It is considered normal to change underwear about once a week. Otherwise, the bed set will quickly lose its appearance, accumulating bacteria and dust on itself. Folk methods can make high-quality fabric softener at home.
To do this, you need to mix only four components in a container: baking soda, nine percent vinegar, water, essential oil. Preparing this conditioner is easy. Mix a glass of water and a glass of soda, and then add six glasses of vinegar. Soda and vinegar will enter into a chemical reaction, after which six more glasses of water must be added to the mixture. To add freshness and individual aromas to your home air conditioner, add twenty drops of any essential oil to the resulting mixture.
After all, pour the product into a container that can be tightly closed, and your conditioner is ready. Use it every time you wash, just add half a glass. Such a home air conditioner will last for a long time, in addition, it is quite economical, and any housewife has access to all the components in the kitchen.
Washing new bed linen
It is very important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations, especially during the first wash. Once you have purchased a kit, it must be washed before use to make it soft and wash away industrial dust. It is recommended to turn the bed linen inside out with each wash so as not to wash the pattern. In the rare case that the manufacturer left no recommendations, or you threw out the tag, remember the basic washing conditions that are suitable for any fabric. Hand wash or delicate machine wash at 30-40C will keep your bedding bright and soft.
