Bedding should 'avoid wear and tear'
Published: 10 November 2008
The current financial climate demands that many people re-use such things as bedding as much as possible, with an American reporter offering tips to keep duvet covers and comforters in top shape to save money.
An American reporter has highlighted the need for more conservative care for bedding during the current financial slowdown.Susan Fornoff, a bedding expert from the San Francisco Chronicle, said: "We all know how to keep our clothes and bedding and towels looking unfrayed and unfaded: Don't wash them and, especially, don't dry them."
However, she highlighted that a person could not well leave them as they were as they could end up soiled and holding questionable smells.
Ms Fornoff recommended bed linen which used plain and twill weaves in the fabric as it was more likely to last longer than sateen sheets, with white cotton sheets untreated for wrinkles also looking great for the longest period of time as they could not fade and would have a smarter appearance for longer.
Design Public recommended that people wash bedspreads and duvet covers in cool or lukewarm water on a gentle spin to also avoid breakdown in fibres.
