Think washing bedding is simple? As laundry experts from Good Housekeeping note, avoiding these four pitfalls keeps your linens looking new longer.
Your bedding doesn't get as soiled as sportswear or underwear, so opt for a mild detergent in small amounts. Overdoing it leaves residue and fades fabrics prematurely.
Towels shed lint that clings to sheets and duvet covers. Their rough texture also wears down delicate bedding fibers, shortening their lifespan.
Leaving pure cotton bedding in the dryer too long causes shrinkage. Once it happens, replacement is often necessary.
Dumping damp sheets straight from the washer leads to deep creases. Shake them out first for smoother results without extra ironing.
