Posted by markwahl barg on September 24th, 2019

If you have planned to wash linens at home in your washing machine, there are certain things you need to take into consideration.

Depending on the material, the number of degrees with which you can wash your bedding differs. Again, it is important to note the care instructions of the bed linen. If this is no longer available, follow the recommendations below:

Since pure cotton sheets can be washed at the highest washing temperature, you should use this material preferably if you suffer from allergies, so that all mites and bacteria can be reliably removed.

How often does bed linen be washed?

As a rule, a change of bed linen every 14 days is sufficient. Allergy sufferers, however, should wash the sheets every week so as not to give bacteria and germs a chance.

Even in summer, it is advisable to change the bed linen every week, as you are more likely to sweat.

If stains, such as blood, urine, feces or semen land on the sheets, of course, an immediate change is necessary. Especially bed linen for families with babies or toddlers must, therefore, be cleaned more frequently.

Even after a cold washing, the bed linen makes sense to remove all germs.

Tip by Laundry service: Remember to wash your duvet regularly, because there are also many bacteria and mites.

Wash bed linen properly - practical tips:

Finally, we give you here more tips that you should consider when washing the bed linen:

Do not load your washing machine with too much bedding, because for a thorough cleaning bedding needs enough space in the washing machine drum.

Before washing, close all zips or buttons so that the duvet covers do not fill with smaller pieces.

Before using new bedding for the first time you should wash it once in the washing machine. As a result, any production residues are removed and also the smell is pleasantly fresh after the first wash.

Do not wash your sheets with hard materials such as jeans.

To protect the fibers, you should turn the sheets to the left before washing. Because the high revolutions when spinning otherwise ensure increased fiber abrasion and colors and patterns could fade.
