That’s why it’s important to factor in the temperature while you wash your bed linens in washing machine.

 

140° F/60° C FOR OPTIMUM CLEANING

  • Cotton sheets are best washed in warm water
  • Opting for 140°F/60° C for washing bedding is ideal
  • The temperature acts effectually in eliminating bacteria, killing bed bugs and dust mites
  • It also reduces their lifecycle, removing grease and stains and giving fresh and crisp sheets
  • Statistics and research all point in favour of the 60°C/140°F wash as it acts in reducing allergens too
  • Do not wash colored bedding at 60°C/140°F wash
  • The high water temperature might cause the colors to get faded
  • Make sure your sheets can withstand the heat

 

USE OF CLEANING AGENTS LIKE DETERGENT AND BLEACH

  • The high-temperature wash along with a good detergent kills the bacteria, viruses, fungi and germs from the bed linen
  • Adding bleach to the wash cycle cleans the sheets effectively
  • Read instructions for the proper bleach quantity to be used before using
  • Use color bleach for colored clothes

 

HOW OFTEN SHOULD BEDDING BE WASHED?

A weekly wash is ideal in the following scenarios if;

  • You sleep daily on the bed
  • When you and your partner sweat a lot
  • You or your partner suffer from a contagious disease
  • When your pet sleeps with you.

 

POST-WASH CARE

  • You can sanitize your bed linens post wash by using fabric disinfectants and sprays
  • Please remember to use fabric sprays only as those meant for other surfaces may not be as effective on fabric
