At what temperature should you wash? How often to change bedding

It is impossible to imagine comfortable sleep and relaxation without such an important attribute as bed linen. In order for your laundry to last as long as possible, while maintaining its impeccable appearance and rich color, you need to know how to wash and care for it correctly.

Rules

In order for the bedding to remain neat for a long time and maintain its appearance, The following rules must be observed:

  • Be sure to follow the recommendations indicated on the product packaging and labels. As a rule, the composition of the material and information on ironing, washing and bleaching modes are indicated there;
  • Before using a new set of bed linen, it is recommended to wash it using the pre-wash mode;
  • Before loading laundry into the washing machine, you need to turn it inside out. If there are locks on duvet covers and pillowcases, it is important to close them so as not to tear the fabric;
  • Colored fabrics must be washed separately from white ones. Otherwise, snow-white textiles will take on a completely different shade;
  • Bed linen of different fabric composition is washed separately from each other, at a certain washing mode and temperature;




  • You cannot load the drum of the machine more than halfway, otherwise things will not stretch well;
  • Children's underwear sets must be washed with special products containing safe ingredients and separately from adult clothes;
  • It is not recommended to wash bed linen at home at the same time as clothing;
  • Avoid using bleach as it will destroy the color of the fabric;
  • It is advisable to use liquid gels for washing; they are completely washed out of things;
  • If aggressive chemicals were used during washing, then the items should be rinsed at least twice.



Methods

Today, housewives wash bed linen in a washing machine or by hand.

To wash things efficiently in an automatic machine, you need to know at what temperature to do it and using what program.

To set one or another mode for washing, you should first find out what fabric the product is made from. For example, cotton items are washed on a special program for cotton, and silk linen and bright colored sets are washed on a program for delicate items at a water temperature of no more than 40 degrees. For synthetic materials, select the “synthetic” program.


Sometimes there are situations when you have to wash sets by hand. For example, if the washing machine suddenly breaks down or the power goes out in the house. Let's figure out how to properly wash laundry by hand.

First you need to soak the bedding in water and add laundry detergent. The water temperature must correspond to that indicated on the product label. The water should completely cover the laundry. After about an hour, all you have to do is rinse your items thoroughly until the water is clean and free of foam.



By type of fabric

The longevity of bedding is directly related to proper care. Washing products and choosing the desired mode depend on the type of fabric:

  • Cotton, linen. To wash cotton and linen, fairly high temperatures are used. The optimal temperature is 60 degrees, but in case of disinfection of products, washing at 95 degrees is possible. We also allow spinning at maximum speed;
  • Satin. To care for it, use powders without bleach. Suitable temperature – 40-60 degrees, spin – 600 rpm. With proper care, satin sets will remain bright and neat after 200 or even 300 washes;
  • Bamboo. Bamboo fabric is washed without the use of bleach, chemical cleaning, on a delicate cycle at 30 degrees, using a low spin;
  • Calico. Do not pre-soak to prevent color change. The recommended temperature is 40 degrees. Calico sets can withstand about 200 washes;




  • Silk. Silk bed linen is washed by hand without spinning. Maximum temperature – 30 degrees. To soften the fabric and have an antistatic effect, it is worth using conditioner. Despite the fact that silk is an elite material, it can withstand about 300 washes;
  • Poplin. Durable, unpretentious and virtually wrinkle-resistant fabric. Poplin linen is washed on the “cotton” program and spun at 600 rpm;
  • Percale. This fabric is considered one of the best, but does not require special care. The first wash of the product should be carried out at 20 degrees, all other washes at 60;
  • Jacquard. Refers to elite types of textiles. To ensure that jacquard linen remains bright much longer, it is washed at a temperature of no more than 40 degrees;
  • Viscose. This material is very delicate. It is important to wash it at temperatures from 20 to 40 degrees. Products made from viscose must not be wrung out.




Colored

Before washing bedding, be sure to sort it into colored and white.

Even if you know that colored sets do not fade, their proximity to white clothes in the washing machine is still unacceptable.

The first few times after purchasing colored clothes are washed at a temperature of 20-30 degrees. In the future, washing at 40 or 60 degrees is possible. For such fabrics, detergents for washing colored laundry are used. Typically, these powders and liquid gels are labeled “Color.” If a colored item is heavily soiled, wash it in the “pre-wash” mode.



Children's

In order for the youngest members of the household to have a sound and healthy sleep, you need to know how to properly care for children's bedding.

Previously, the main aspect in washing children's clothes was boiling. Now, with the advent of automatic washing machines and special care products, washing has begun to look different. The main thing is to follow some rules:

  • Children's clothes must be washed separately from the clothes of other family members. It is best to have a separate laundry basket for them;
  • It is recommended to wash immediately so that the material absorbs less dirt;
  • Use only hypoallergenic washing powders and gels made specifically for children;
  • If there are traces of juice, baby food or other food on the product, then it must be washed before the main wash;
  • Rinse the laundry thoroughly;
  • Do not dry outside to avoid dirt getting on the textiles;
  • It is recommended to iron children's underwear at least until the child reaches three years of age.



Newborn bedding needs to be washed at a temperature of 90-95 degrees or using a special program in a washing machine for washing children's clothes. For bedding of older children, the washing mode is set depending on the type of fabric. Most often, children's products are made of cotton. After the main wash, it is necessary to rinse the laundry additionally to completely remove any remaining product.

The right detergents for washing baby clothes should be virtually odorless. Their label usually has a 0+ sign. The composition should not contain fragrances, chlorine and phosphates.

When pouring powder into the machine, it is important to follow the recommended dosage.



Getting rid of yellowness

Lovers of bed linen in snow-white tones notice that after a short period of time their favorite light sets turn yellow or become gray. The reason is that the elements in the powder react with hardness salts in the water, thus coloring the material. In addition, bedding becomes yellow if it is not used for a long time or if it is stored next to stale items.

There are many ways to return the white color to a product. But you need to keep in mind that not all fabrics can be bleached, and it is best to dry clean laundry made from delicate fabrics.


You can find a wide range of whitening products in household chemical stores. They are optical, oxygen and chlorine based. Their features:

  • Optical brighteners are contained in powders. They only create a visual effect of whiteness, but in reality no whitening occurs, since they do not remove dirt and stains;
  • Oxygen bleaches are safe because they do not contain chlorine. They bleach effectively even in cold water and can be used on delicate types of fabrics. The only drawback of this product is the high price;
  • Chlorine-based products are inexpensive, perfectly disinfect and whiten products perfectly. Applicable for hand wash only. This type of bleach has quite a few disadvantages. It can damage fabric, is unsafe for the respiratory tract, and often causes an allergic reaction. When using this product, it is necessary to ventilate the room, use a protective mask and gloves.



In addition to store-bought bleaches, many people use traditional methods. Let's look at a few of the most common ones:

  • Boiling. Cotton and linen items can be washed at very high temperatures, so boiling is permitted for these fabrics. In addition to being effective at bleaching, boiling is great for removing odors if it has been stored wet. The boiling process is as follows:
    1. A white cloth is placed on the bottom of the enamel pan;
    2. Make a solution from soap or powder. Stains can be additionally soaped;
    3. A well-straightened set of linen is placed in a pan and filled with the prepared soap solution;
    4. If there is severe contamination, add 1 tablespoon of ammonia to the container;
    5. Boil the laundry for at least an hour, stirring with a wooden stick.



  • Another whitening product known to housewives since Soviet times is "White". It contains chlorine, for this reason it can only be used for hand washing and only for cotton products. To prepare the solution, you need to add 1 tablespoon of “Whiteness” to 3 liters of water. Place items in the solution for half an hour, then rinse thoroughly;
  • Baking soda It is also a good and safe bleach. Add 5 tablespoons of ammonia to 10 liters of water and mix with 10 tablespoons of soda. Light-colored underwear is placed in the prepared solution for 2-3 hours. Then they wash it in an automatic machine;
  • Hydrogen peroxide bleaches all types of fabric well. You need to wash your clothes first. Prepare a solution by mixing 30 ml of peroxide, 30 ml of ammonia and 5 liters of water. Soak washed laundry in the resulting solution for half an hour. After this, rinse and dry.




How to remove stains?

To remove stains from heavily soiled bed linen at home, it must first be soaked in water at a temperature no higher than 40 degrees. It is especially important to observe the temperature regime during washing if there are stains on the textiles from cake, cream or other similar products, since at high temperatures they tend to coagulate, and it will be very difficult to get rid of these stains later.

If you add a few grams of soda, powder or ammonia solution to the water where the bedding will be soaked, most of the contaminants will soften and be removed. For very dirty laundry, adding powder during pre-soaking is mandatory.

You can also use it to remove stains pre-wash in a machine. The temperature should be set to 60 degrees. In this program, laundry is prepared for the main wash from half an hour to an hour. The main wash will remove any remaining stains.


A full and comfortable sleep largely depends on the quality, cleanliness and freshness of bed linen. In this article, we will be happy to tell you in what mode and at what temperature you need to wash bed linen in a washing machine.

A few facts from history

Painting "Washerwomen". Artist Albert Gustav Aristide Edelfelt.

Washing bed linen is a rather complex and responsible process, even in our time, in the era of modern washing units. It’s hard to imagine how difficult this process was in past centuries! In the old days there was even a separate caste of workers - laundresses. From morning until sunset, in any weather, women worked on the banks of the river or sea over kilograms of dirty linen and clothes.

By the way, the prototype of the washing machine was invented... by sailors! As is known, women were not taken on board the ship. Therefore, male sailors had to solve the laundry problem themselves. And they found a way out: they simply hung their dirty laundry overboard. Under the influence of a strong countercurrent and boiling water, it was washed off perfectly.

The first automatic clothes washing machine was invented only in 1949. In the 50s, mass production of washing units began.

How to properly wash bed linen in a washing machine? We will tell you about this further.

Laundry preparation stage

It is very important to sort your laundry before washing.

Before washing laundry, it is necessary to sort it: white and colored items must be washed separately. You also need to sort the sets by material, because the choice of washing mode largely depends on the type of fabric. In addition, it would not be superfluous to sort the laundry according to the degree of soiling (dirtier laundry needs careful washing, but less soiled sets can simply be “refreshed”).

Even before you start washing, you need to turn the laundry inside out, removing dust, hair, threads and feathers from the corners and folds.

Selecting a bed linen washing mode

Correctly selected mode is the key to washing quality

In what mode should you wash bed linen in a washing machine? This is largely determined by the type of fabric. Let's look at the different options:

  • linen and cotton (white linen): wash at 60-90 degrees and with maximum spin;
  • linen and cotton (colored linen): wash at 40 degrees to keep all colors bright and expressive;
  • silk: wash at water temperature up to 30 degrees and without spinning (it is also necessary to use special detergents for this type of fabric);
  • satin: wash at 40-60 degrees;
  • synthetic fabrics: wash at 30-40 degrees, using a special washing mode (or delicate mode if the first is not available);
  • bamboo or cambric: wash at 30-40 degrees on a delicate cycle and with minimal spin.

These are universal fabric recommendations. But it is best to follow the instructions given by the direct manufacturer of a particular kit. To do this, you need to cut off and save the information label when purchasing a new set of underwear.

How often should you wash your bed linen?

It is necessary to wash clothes no more than once a week (in winter - once every two weeks). This is quite enough to comply with generally accepted hygiene standards. More intensive washing will only worsen the appearance of the bedding set and significantly reduce its service life. It's important to note that pillowcases tend to get dirty much faster. They can be washed more often than sheets or duvet covers.

Do I need to wash a new set of bed linen just bought in a store? The answer here is clear: yes, it is necessary. Manufacturers often treat their products with chemicals that are harmful to humans. Washing your clothes will help rid them of these harmful particles.

Use conditioner when washing bed linen - there is no such thing as too much freshness

  • the total weight of bed linen for washing should not be too large (products should move freely along the drum);
  • It is better not to put handkerchiefs, socks, stockings and underwear in the washing machine along with sheets and pillowcases - it is much easier to wash small items separately;
  • it is important to monitor the cleanliness of the washing machine drum, promptly removing dirt and debris from the rubber seal;
  • Ironing clothes significantly worsens its hygroscopic properties, so it is advisable to avoid it (if possible).

Are you earning enough?

Check if this applies to you:

  • there is enough money from paycheck to paycheck;
  • the salary is only enough for rent and food;
  • debts and loans take away everything that is obtained with great difficulty;
  • all promotions go to someone else;
  • you are sure that you are paid too little at work.

Perhaps your money has been damaged. This amulet will help relieve lack of money

Knowing at what temperature (in the machine) to wash your bed linen, you will preserve the colorful colors and durability of the material. For natural ones, use a temperature of up to 60 degrees and a speed of no more than 1,200, and for delicate ones – 30–40°C with a minimum number of revolutions. Heat treat children's underwear at 800 rpm and be sure to iron them. If the stains that appear on the sheets cannot be removed at home, contact a dry cleaner.

The modern choice of bed linen puzzles housewives, especially young ones, since each set requires its own care. A special feature of the processing of such products is the structure of the fabric, the mode and at what temperature to wash the linen (bed) so as not to thin the fabric and preserve the color.

How to properly wash bedding in a machine

Washing bedding by hand is a labor-intensive process, since oversized bedding is now popular.

In such cases, it is almost impossible to pay attention to the entire area of ​​the duvet cover or sheet. The best way out is to wash it in a machine, but a number of nuances must be observed so that the fabric does not fade or “shrink” after washing.

Which program to use

It is important to change bedding on time, otherwise it will affect the process and quality of washing. If snow-white linen is heavily soiled, soaking is required, otherwise the fabric will soon wash out and turn gray. Modern ones are equipped with a soaking function, so be sure to turn it on if you didn’t change the bed on time.

The mode is chosen based on the fabric from which the set is made.

Table 1. Programs for washing adult bedding in a machine

Most sets consist of several types of fabric and have a pattern, so it is important to look at the manufacturer’s label before washing. The icons describe in detail how to process this particular set, and whether it can be machine washed at all. Before you start washing, be sure to read the manufacturer's information to avoid unpleasant consequences.

Selecting the temperature regime

This nuance is also described on the label, but if the icons are missing for some reason, rely on the general recommendations.

General characteristics:

  • Wash white, very dirty sets made of linen, cotton, calico at 90 degrees. Coloreds cannot tolerate temperatures exceeding 40°C;
  • bamboo – up to 40°C;
  • flannel – up to 60°C;
  • synthetics, silk, 3D, satin, jacquard (for example, Diana sets) - maximum 30°C;
  • wool, terry and knitted fabrics – 30–40°C.

Silk and wool products absolutely do not tolerate boiling. After the procedure, the tissue shrinks or loses its shape, so under no circumstances should you resort to exceeding the optimal temperature.

The correct temperature for washing bed linen will avoid fading and damage to the fabric!

Selecting a detergent

The selection of detergent depends on the type of set: adult/children, degree of soiling and color.

  • We use bleaches, “Whiteness”, hydrogen peroxide only for white (not delicate) so that;
  • Lightly soiled colored items from any fabric are washed with vinegar, soda, ammonia, and heavily soiled items are washed with powder with the addition of dry or liquid “Vanish”;
  • diapers, accessories from blankets, pillows, kits for discharging a newborn with baby powders and hypoallergenic stain removers, folk remedies.

Take care of children's underwear with full responsibility. Do not use ordinary powders and stain removers, otherwise the child will have an allergic reaction, accompanied by prolonged treatment.

Features of washing different bedding

Bedding made from natural fabrics is the easiest to wash, because it is less demanding in terms of temperature and washing mode, but delicate ones (bamboo, cambric, silk) require special care.

We wash bedding made from cambric and bamboo

Washing cambric or bamboo bed linen in a washing machine requires a minimum temperature not exceeding 30°C.

It is best to process such products by hand, because they are very delicate and do not tolerate careless treatment. However, if you still prefer to wash in a machine, avoid spinning at high speeds and set them to the lowest speed manually.

Instructions for processing cambric and bamboo in a machine:

  1. If there are stains, wash them by hand.
  2. Place the product in the drum.
  3. Set to delicate wash.

After turning off the machine, immediately take out the laundry, shake it and hang it straightened on the line. In most cases this eliminates the need for ironing.

It is much more difficult to get out of bed, or.

Silk underwear

Silk products (not of Chinese origin) are expensive, but they need to be cared for in the same way as bamboo.

Use stain removers and powders only as a last resort. Wash your clothes in a timely manner and if stubborn stains appear, try to remove them with improvised means.

If you do not trust folk remedies, use liquid powder specifically designed for silk products (in combination with a softener).

Which mode is best to wash, at what temperature, see the table.

Table 2. Washing parameters

We wash baby clothes (newborn)

At what degrees to wash baby bedding is usually set in the program by the manufacturer of the washing machine.

Usually it is 50–60°C. Considering that things may be stained with feces, stains from yogurt, baby formula, and other products, pre-wash them by soaking them in a solution of folk remedies:

  1. Mix 1 tbsp. vinegar, 50 g soda, 2-3 tbsp. l. ammonia and hydrogen peroxide in 5 liters of water.
  2. Immerse dirty diapers in the solution for 2 hours.
  3. Wash stains by hand with laundry soap.
  4. Place the wrung out bedding into the drum.
  5. Add baby powder to a special container.
  6. Start the machine in the “baby clothes” mode, setting 800 revolutions (spin) and washing temperature – 60°C.

The fresher the stains, the easier and better their removal. After this treatment, the baby's bedding will look like new. But if the laundry is very bright, reduce the washing temperature to 40°C to prevent it from fading.

After drying, be sure to iron and smooth out the folds that are pressing on the newborn’s back.

How to wash bed linen without a washing machine

Without an automatic machine, it is very difficult to wash bedding, because after it gets wet, it becomes heavy.

First of all, wash the stains in a solution of folk ingredients or stain remover. Further:

  1. Fill the bath with water.
  2. Add dry or liquid powder to suit the fabric and color.
  3. Leave to sit for an hour.
  4. Wash your laundry by hand.
  5. Squeeze, but do not twist too much to avoid damaging the fibers.

After hand washing and drying, the laundry will be wrinkled. Be sure to iron it, fold it several times, and put it in a storage place.

How often to change bedding

Bed linen should be changed regularly, and not when it gets dirty, because your health depends on it.

Replacing dirty laundry with new ones

Factors requiring frequent washing:

  • dust mites. They actively develop in unwashed laundry. May provoke decreased immunity or an allergic reaction;
  • bacterial diseases. Favorable flora for pathogens is sweat absorbed by the sheet and duvet cover;
  • aesthetic beauty. Sleeping on freshly washed laundry is much more pleasant than sleeping on a worn and stained set with fur, dandruff and hair.

In summer, change your bedding weekly, as sweating increases in hot weather. In winter, once every 2 weeks is enough, but if you sweat often in cold times, then be sure to wash your sheets once every 7 days.

Instructions for the care and use of bed linen

  • be sure to wash new clothes;
  • Avoid using bleaches and powders containing chlorine;
  • turn items inside out before washing;
  • wash each set separately;
  • Treat products made of polyester and natural fabrics separately from each other. This way they will remain soft longer;
  • When starting the machine, be sure to take into account the recommendations indicated on the manufacturer’s label;
  • do not fill the drum more than 50%;
  • damp products can be ironed more easily and with better quality;
  • iron from inside out.

If you have a stain that is difficult to remove, take it to a dry cleaner to remove it. Specialists will carefully remove it using special tools and equipment. Of course, the cost of the procedure is high, but only it can restore your favorite underwear.

Larisa, August 28, 2018.

The question often arises: “Is it necessary before making their bed for the first time?” The opinions of housewives usually differ: some consider this a necessary procedure, others can do without it. The arguments put forward are very different. However, the opinion of the bed linen suppliers themselves is clear: new bed linen should be washed. And there are a number of reasons for this.

Why you need to wash new bedding

So, why do manufacturers insist that new bedding needs to be washed? There are a number of reasons:

  • Finishing. This is a special coating, a composition that is applied to fabric to make colors brighter and more saturated. Also, the design turns out a little shiny, and the canvas itself is hard, as if it had been starched. This treatment gives the linen a more attractive appearance, more tempting for buyers when displayed. By the way, thanks to the finished coating, the fabric folds easier, which also creates additional convenience for sellers.
  • Possibility of damage to the integrity of the packaging during transportation. And this opens up enormous opportunities for various microorganisms, infections, allergens, etc. So, when purchasing linen in damaged packaging, it is imperative to wash it, since the risk of contaminating things with something increases significantly.
  • Allergies and irritations can be caused by the same dressing, since in this case various chemical compounds are used.
  • Poor-quality linen, if laid on without washing, will almost certainly stain the new owners. So you can wake up in the morning green, blue, red or colorful.
  • Not everyone likes the specific smell of new things; it can irritate and interfere with sleep.
  • It is also worse to sleep on hard textiles.
  • It is unknown in what conditions the underwear is sewn. Often the fabric lies directly on the floor, in the dirt, and there is a column of dust in the workshops. At first glance, these contaminants may be invisible, but this will not add comfort to sleep;
  • There may be mechanical particles in or on the fabric (sand, threads, etc.) that will cause discomfort and interfere with a healthy, sound sleep.
  • Various microorganisms readily settle on natural fabrics: bed and dust mites, lice, etc.
  • Storage conditions unknown. If the rules and deadlines are not followed, things may become infected, for example, with mold bacteria.

It is also unknown who touched this linen. Perhaps he was not a very healthy person. There may be other ethical considerations

Why do you need washing?

During the first wash, many functions are performed at once. Thanks to her:

  • The laundry becomes soft;
  • The specific factory smell is lost;
  • Chemicals and excess paint are washed off;
  • Dust, bacteria and microorganisms that may have accumulated during transportation and storage are washed away.

Such a simple measure allows you to achieve a significant result, and also allows you to reduce the risk of infection with something or an allergic reaction to almost zero. Based on all of the above, we can come to a clear conclusion: new bedding needs to be washed.

If you also iron new bed linen, this will also be an antimicrobial treatment. When heated, almost all pathogenic bacteria die.

Is it possible to do without washing?

Is it possible not to wash new bed linen? Of course, you can lay the set directly on the bed and not complicate your life with additional washing and ironing... But this will be done at your own peril and risk, since no one will guarantee that the items are completely safe, do not contain harmful substances and microorganisms, will cause allergies, etc. Is it worth the risk to save 30 minutes? Here everyone decides for themselves. Moreover, possible treatment can cost many times more.

Usually housewives who do not wash new things explain it this way:

  • Love the crispy new underwear;
  • The smell of a new set attracts you;
  • Save time on washing and ironing;
  • They simply do not attach importance to everything listed above;
  • They do not consider washing new clothes a mandatory hygienic procedure.

How to wash new bedding

Of course, no one wants to ruin new bedding. To avoid this, you need to follow a few simple rules:

  • Read the information on the label, it will indicate the composition of the fabric, the features of its care and washing rules;
  • A new set is washed on the left side, so the pillowcases and duvet cover need to be turned inside out;
  • The first wash is not really washing, but rinsing things in slightly soapy, cool water, followed by rinsing. Hand washing is recommended, especially for natural and delicate fabrics;
  • When washing in a machine, select a fast mode and set a low temperature (from 30 to 50 degrees, depending on the material). You can select gentle mode;
  • Things do not rub when washed by hand, so abrasions, bald spots, areas without paint or patterns may appear;
  • During the first wash, do not use stain removers, stabilizers, especially bleaches. A simple powder or special gel is enough. You can add a little conditioner when rinsing. When washing by hand, use vinegar to refresh and fix the color;
  • When washing several sets, you should not mix white and colored clothes; colored linen will almost certainly stain;
  • Also, do not wash sets that require different temperatures together.

After washing, items are hung and dried. Then the pillowcases, sheets and duvet covers are ironed as usual, and allowed to rest and cool. And only then can you make the bed with new bedding. After such a gentle wash, it will not lose any of its newness, but will become softer and more pleasant to the body. That's all for the question: “Do you need to wash new bedding?”

What mode is best to wash bed linen in a washing machine? It depends on what material the sleep accessories are made of. You should always carefully read the recommendations from the laundry manufacturer, and it is also important to follow them; the temperature and modes of washing and so-called ironing are directly indicated there. Such data is on the labels that are sewn to the duvet cover or to the sheet.

Before using a new set of purchased linen, it is recommended to wash it. In such a situation, you can only use pre-wash, the mode of which is set on the washing machine, but in general, pre-soaking should not be done.

Before washing, it is necessary to sort the bed linen, since it can be made from different fabrics, which have their own washing modes. White is washed separately from colored, and in the first case you will need a special powder with bleach.

What mode is used to wash cotton clothes??

New snow-white cotton underwear, which has not yet lost its original appearance, is recommended to be washed on the “cotton 60 degrees” cycle. If the whiteness of the fabrics is partially lost, set the “cotton 90-95 degrees” mode. If there are so-called difficult-to-remove stains on the sheets or pillowcases, then turn on the pre-soaking program and add bleach.

For colored cotton bed linen, a temperature of 40 degrees is sufficient, while you can maintain the richness and brightness of the colors, and also remove any existing dirt. Stain remover should only be used when necessary.

What mode should you use to wash linen in a washing machine??

The optimal temperature for linen, white or colored, is 60 degrees, this is considered a universal mode for such fabric. In addition, bedding can be washed more efficiently if you first soap it and soak it in water for an hour.

What mode is better to wash silk bedding in a washing machine??

Natural silk linen is very beautiful; it is washed on the so-called delicate cycle, where the temperature is set to 30 degrees. No bleach is used. A so-called water softener is used. In addition, they set the spin cycle to a minimum.

What mode is used to wash synthetic laundry??

Synthetic linen is washed at 30-40 degrees. Bleaching agents are usually not added, and it should not be boiled, otherwise it will lose its original shape.

What mode do machines use to wash velvet linen??

Bed linen made from luxurious velvet fabrics is washed by hand, and the water should not exceed 30 degrees. It is better to use a so-called gel detergent, without bleach. Wring out such underwear very carefully, without twisting. It is dried in a shady, ventilated place, after allowing excess water to drain.

Conclusion

The mode used to wash the laundry will be determined by what fabric the sheets, pillowcases and duvet covers are made from, and the degree of contamination also matters.
