You’ve put your bed sheets in the wash and they come out smelling nice! This may seem like the end of your laundry chores, but you could unintentionally be making laundry mistakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve compiled a list of 5 laundry mistakes you could be making when washing your bedsheets. If you’re guilty of making these mistakes, it’s time to stop if you want your sheets to have a longer life span!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Washing<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

1. Washing Only When Sheets Look Visibly Dirty<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A common laundry mistake most people make is they only wash their bedsheets when they are visibly dirty. This mistake leads to people washing their sheets every one or two months. Germs, sweats, and dirt build up over time and can cause negative effects to not only your sheets but also yourself. As a rule of thumb,<\/a> wash every two weeks and you can even schedule your laundry<\/a> if it helps you to remember! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Leaving Your Bedsheets on the Tumble Dryer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bedsheets need to be comfortable and in good condition for a good night\u2019s sleep<\/a>. However, if you\u2019re leaving your bedsheets on the tumble dryer, you are making a laundry mistake because this will shrink your bedsheets. To avoid uncomfortable bed sheets getting in the way of good sleep, we recommend drying your sheets in the drying line or rack for better longevity and results!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Mixing With Other Clothes and Towels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You love your clothes, sheets, and towels but they don\u2019t love each other. A laundry mistake people often make is they think mix their bedsheets with other clothes and towels<\/a>. If you mix everything in the washing machine, it\u2019s not efficient and the results won\u2019t be great. Every material has a different washing process and needs more room to circulate. It\u2019s best to have laundry days especially dedicated to your bedsheets for bigger space in the machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you find yourself too busy to have laundry days for your bedsheets, book<\/a> with us and we\u2019ll launder them<\/a> for you just before your bedtime!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Adding Too Much Laundry Detergent<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a common misconception that the dirtier the bedsheet, the more detergent<\/a> it needs. Unfortunately, this laundry mistake has been proven to do far more harm than good to your sheets. Not only can they leave a stain, leaving them looking less clean, but they also can damage your sheets and your washing machine. The more laundry detergent used, the higher the water use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We recommend using \u00bd cup of baking soda<\/a> and vinegar to wash your bedsheets for silky and soft results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Not Checking Label<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Everyone has been guilty of ignoring labels on products and food so naturally, it\u2019s a very common laundry mistake to not check the labels before you start washing your bedsheets. For proper laundry care, always read the labels carefully because every bedsheet has different washing requirements; cotton sheets are best washed at a lower temperature and some fabric bedsheets shouldn\u2019t be ironed<\/a> or put on the tumble dryer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you follow the instructions, you\u2019ll wash your bedsheets efficiently and keep them crisp and clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
