People 'must take care of bedding to prolong lifespan'
Published: 08 December 2008
Bedspreads, pillow cases and duvet covers should be kept in great shape if a person is to get their money's worth out of the item, with one source providing tips for the owner to ensure their bed linen lasts as long as possible.
If you want to keep your sheets looking healthy and clean as well as getting plenty of wear and tear out of them, a few tips must be followed, according to one blogger.Crossteam Properties said that cooler water was always the best way to go unless otherwise specified, with lighter washing cycles also recommended if a person decides to wash it regularly when it is fairly clean.
Bleach is a no-go for pretty much any fabric "unless absolutely necessary", Crossteam continues, as it has the habit of breaking down most materials.
When drying, it concluded, bed linen should always be folded as this lessens the wrinkles and prevents further fibre breakdown.
Last month, in a piece for the San Francisco Chronicle, Susan Fornoff said that after repeated washing, white cotton bed linen looked the best for longest.
