It's time to get the quilts and thicker blankets out of the closets. Since this bedding has been in the closet for a long time, you need to restore its softness and freshness before putting it away.
How to quickly and efficiently restore color, softness and freshness to bedding that has been sitting in the closet for a long time?
You should wash the sheets in the washing machine by mixing washing powder with half a cup baking soda, and then add half a cup instead of fabric softener of alcoholic vinegar and start a normal wash cycle.
The baking soda works to naturally lighten and leave a fresh scent, while the alcohol vinegar acts as an emollient.
Also, don't make these mistakes:
Do not wash sheets together with towels
The towels are rough in texture. When they come into contact with the softer fibers of the sheets during washing and drying, they become hard and at the same time damaged, which means that the sheets are destroyed more quickly.
Do not leave it in the washing machine for too long
Make sure you take the washed bedding out of the washing machine and dry it as soon as possible. This way, it will be softer, more fragrant and much less wrinkled than if it had been waiting for long hours in the washing machine.
Do not use too much powder or softener
Be careful with the amount, as too much powder and fabric softener can damage the fibers.
