Martha Stewart, the famous TV personality recommends that you “use hydrated bleach and warm water to wash your beddings, if you have the time, iron them. This gives your beddings the feeling of being new.” Here are basic tips to care for your beddings.

Wash your beddings
Washing your beddings thoroughly is the first step to caring for them. You should use a non-bleach detergent to wash them. Also, endeavor to rinse properly before drying. If you have many different materials to wash at a goal, ensure you sort them out according to their colors to avoid one color bleaching on the other.

Air your beddings
Drying your beddings, especially your duvet keeps it clean and free from smell. Drying your bedsheet, pillowcase, mattress protector, and duvet under the sun after a thorough wash makes it dry fast, but then, you don’t have to over sun them as too much heat from the sun can hurt your materials. On the other hand, if you feel your bedding doesn’t smell very fresh and you are not ready to wash it, so long as it is not dirty, you can just air it before use at night.

Iron and store your beddings
After a proper wash and dry process, the next thing you want to consider is to iron your beddings, fold them neatly and store them in a place where air can still touch them. If you are big on a nice scent, you could lightly spray them to maintain freshness before the next time you use them.
