Keeping your bedding fresh and clean

Sleep. So important, yet so deviant. Anything can disrupt sleep: mild sounds, lights, and bad bedding. When your bed is musty and emits unwanted odours, it leads to sleeplessness. What should you do for a restful night’s sleep? Cut the noise, blackout lights, and most of all, clean your bedding regularly. This is one of the most vital activities to ensure your sanctuary is cosy, inviting, comfortable, and hygienic. Ever entered a hotel room and smelled the aroma of fresh sheets and linen? That’s what your home should also feel like. 

How to keep your bedding fresh?

Wash your bed linens with high-quality detergents and softeners. These will ensure your bedding stays soft, smelling fresh, and feeling clean. You must also use water at its highest heat to kill germs and bacteria. 

Use a disinfectant, especially if you think someone sick has been using the bed continuously. The chemical eliminates germs and bacteria. Of course, you must check the manufacturer’s instructions for optimal outcomes. 

Hang your bedding out in the sun to naturally freshen it. The UV rays help kill musty odours, germs, and bacteria. Remove any wrinkles before you put them on the line to ensure a smooth finish. 

Mattresses can significantly affect hygiene. It is essential to get a good-quality protector so that bacteria, spills, stains, and allergens don’t affect the mattress directly. Remove the cover every few weeks to keep it fresh. 

Frequency of washing

Keep a washing routine to ensure your bedding stays fresh and clean. The frequency of washing, however, depends upon the type of bedding and linen you possess. 

How often should I wash my bedding?

You should wash your bedding regularly to keep it clean, fresh, and hygienic. The frequency can vary depending on the type and how often it is used. The schedule may go something like this— 

Comforters and bedspreads—3–6 months

Mattress covers and protectors—2–3 months

Bed Pillows – 3 – 6 months

Wash bed linens using the proper water temperature and the right amount of detergent. Always refer to the manufacturer’s instructions before washing.
