How to Care for Your Bed Linen During Winter?

All of us love crisp and cleaner beds don’t we? But guess what during winters apart from our skin, our bed linen also takes a beat down. We as individuals on average spend nearly a third of our life in bed, creating ample wear and tear on our bed sheets. And even though mattresses, blankets, or comforters are more cumbersome to take care of, bed linen is something you can manage with limited effort.

Following are the ways to take good care of your bed linen because in the words of Game of Thrones ‘Winter is here!’

1. Read the labels!

While it’s fairly a common point but most of us tend to overlook the wash care label stamped upon our bed sheets. Not only do different fabrics require a specific type of washes, patterns, geometry, and color used are susceptible to water temperatures and sunlight that can reduce the life span of your bed linen. Hence reading the wash label and acting accordingly helps to take care of bed linens in a sophisticated way.

2. Using a fabric conditioner

Winters are specifically harsh upon the minute cotton fiber bed sheets due to wear and tear caused by temperature changes day and night. Fabric conditioners are formulated to not only soften the cotton fabric but also contain anti-bacterial properties to help you get rid of microbes invisible to the naked eye. 

3. Do not Overload.

Either washing or drying two things your bed linen cramps for is space to move and to breathe. Overloading washing machines with excessive clothing compromises the space available for bed linen to move and hence not only develops creases but might leave them untidy even after washing.

Also, linen is a breathable fabric and hence requires at least an hour after being exposed to the dryer to allow it to fill itself with air in between the layers.

4. Store sincerely.

Now that our bed linens are all tidy and neat the tough is already done. But, to ensure its longevity we require a rather spacious but well-kept space. Sanitizing storage with water and vinegar or a cleansing agent not only gets rid of dust and dirt but prevents any action of microbes present in the shade to escape the wrath of heat.

Hence, while we are guessing that some of us love winters, we are entirely sure that all of us love our bed linens. Keep the above-mentioned suggestions in mind next time on your laundry day and equip your arsenal with all the dragon glass you need against the fall of winter.
