GIVE YOUR GUESTS A GREAT NIGHT’S REST Tips for Washing Your Bedding at Home
cleaners or insufficient time between guests, causing you to clean the items at home in your washing machine and dryer. When done properly, there’s nothing wrong with cleaning your bedding at home. When you put your sheets and pillowcases into the washer, keep them separate from your garments, especially towels and other items that might shed. Washing towels in a home machine produces lint, which can stick to your sheets and bedding. This can cause your sheets to look like they’re pilling or wearing away. Also, don’t overfill the machine, trying to get all of your bedding done at once. Trying to wash too much at once can harm your machine while not cleaning your clothes as efficiently as you would hope. If you’re washing white sheets, you might feel inclined to add bleach to ensure they stay as white as possible, but this could have an adverse effect. Traditional bleach
from the local grocery or hardware store is often made from chlorine, which will cause your items to become yellow or gray over time. Use OxiClean or apply soap directly to any stains for a better solution. In addition to avoiding bleach, you should stay away from fabric softener and dryer sheets when washing bedding. Using fabric softener and dryer sheets makes your bedding less absorbent, causing it to develop an odor over time. If you’re worried about wrinkles, use a clothesline instead of a dryer, or remake the bed as soon as you’ve finished cleaning your bedding. Use these tips in accordance with your bedding’s recommended wash instructions to clean your sheets as efficiently as possible at home. If your bedding still isn’t as fresh as you want it to be, bring it to us, and we’ll do everything we can to clean it, allowing you to rest easy.
