I. Bedding – when blankets and pillows beg for air

Most of us diligently change our linens every week. But what's inside – blankets, fillings, pillows – often remains buried in the mystery of dust mites and sweat from months past. Well, it's time for an intervention.

Blankets and pillows need to be washed. Yes, even if they are “inside”. And if they're fluffy, then especially – because the musty smell has never been sexy.

Ideally, it would be:

• Wash your blanket 2 to 4 times a year (at least during the change of seasons),
• pillows every 2–3 months.

Be sure to read the label before washing. Down, as we know, is delicate. Unlike us, it does not renew itself if we break it. If the label says “only dry cleaning", then it probably means you'll need to find a local dry cleaner. In all other cases, you can wash your down bedding at home - under one condition: that you have a big enough drum.

Squeezing a blanket into a washing machine that is too small is like pushing yogurt back into a pot – it may sound brave, but the result will not be impressive. If the machine allows it, use gentle cycle, temperature around 40 °C, and special detergent for downRegular powders tend to clump feathers together – which is the last thing you want under your head.

But the real trick comes when drying. Attention: tennis balls. Yes, this isn't a sports article, but they work wonders in the drum - a ball or two gently hits the fluffy parts during drying and prevents everything from clumping together in frustration. The result? The blanket will be puffed up again, airy and... well, almost ready for an Insta story with the tag #HotelVibes.

Dry for a long time, on medium heat. And when you think it's dry – leave it for a while longer. a few hours in the air. Moisture likes to hide. Just like dust mites. And it takes a few hours to blow out.

So – how you wash your bedding is pretty simple!

How to remove yellow stains from bedding

Yellow stains on bedding are a common problem, caused by sweat, body oils, and makeup residue. To effectively remove these stains, use a combination of baking soda and white vinegar. Apply a paste of baking soda and water to the stain, then pour white vinegar over it. Leave it for 30 minutes, then wash the bedding as usual. This method is natural, safe for fabrics, and environmentally friendly, while also effectively removing stains and unpleasant odors.

II. Bed linen – covers, sheets and what we really feel on our skin

There is no dilemma here. You wash this often. Every 7-10 days. If it's hot, even more often – because no, your skin is not sterile, and yes, night sweats are a thing.

Sheets and comforters are less delicate than blankets, but they also deserve VIP treatment. If you have cotton underwear, wash it without a bad conscience 60°C – enough to kill bacteria and freshen the fabric. If you have something more gentle – linen, silk, bamboo – hold on colder cycle (30–40 °C). And yes, labels are still your friend.

Now for the magic. How do you wash your bed linens?

Add to the machine in addition to your regular detergent 1/2 cup baking soda. Why? Because baking soda makes laundry brighter, softer, and neutralizes odors without perfumes that try to overpower reality.

Finally? 1 cup of white vinegar in the last rinse. Not to make a salad out of sheets, but because vinegar removes detergent residue, naturally softens the fabric, and leaves that intangible feeling of "cleanliness" that no fabric softener can recreate.

The golden rule when drying is: Don't wait for the sheets to become Savinja prosciutto.. When drying is complete, take them out immediately. No wrinkles, no stress. If possible, dry in the sun – UV light is a natural bleach, and the sun's wind is the only flavoring agent we recommend in nature.

And I – Tennis balls come in handy again. Although queens are downy, they will also give the sheets more airiness and prevent them from ever getting tangled up into one big, unrecognizable textile ball.

Final impression? A bed like from a magazine

When you wash both blankets and covers, you get a result that you can feel, smell and even see. That fresh, white bed that you crawl into with the feeling that all is right in this world.
No fabric softeners, no chlorine, no perfume called "mountain waterfall." Just natural remedies, a good temperature, and a few tricks that even Hilton would approve of.
