You’ve always wanted a bedroom that looks like the ones in the home beautiful magazines. You’ve bought your hot bedding and you love it. But how do you care for it to keep it looking hot for years to come?

Different fabrics used in bedding require different types of care and have different washing requirements. Wash silk in a hot wash and spin, for example, will not do your silk sheets a lot of good.

Luckily for us the manufacturers provide us with the correct instructions for washing your sheets and other bedding right there on the bedding. Always look for a label that tells you the fabric type and how to wash it. It is better to write these instructions down and keep them in the laundry for quick reference. If you have only one type of bedding in the house you’ll probably remember it but it you have a few different types of sheets made from different types of fabrics then you may well find that you need to refer to the instructions again sometimes.

And of course labels can fade, and when you need to remember the wash you can’t read it.

Basically there are a few tips that you should follow to get it right. You really don’t need to wash in really hot water. Use cool or lukewarm water. It is rare that the sheets are really dirty. And don’t use bleach, it harms the fabric.

Use a gently cycle and don’t overdo the detergent, sheets don’t need a lot of washing.

If you’re using a dryer then don’t dry your sheets too long. If you do you’ll create wrinkles, and if you’ve done that you can deal with the wrinkles by throwing a damp cloth into the dryer to reintroduce some moisture. Dry sheets till just dry and no more.

Then hand fold your sheets as they come out of the dryer.

Now a big question. You have a comforter. Should you wash it yourself? Generally no, you can do more harm than good and your washing machine probably isn’t big enough. And if you really want to then you must read the washing instructions really carefully, some types of fill must be dry cleaned. Do it wrong and you’ll be really disappointed. Down for example should be cleaned at the laundromat. And don’t wash it too often, it isn’t necessary. And you must use a cover.

The bottom line is that all bedding comes with instructions on the proper care and washing requirements for that type of sheets. Read the instructions and follow them to the letter and you shouldn’t go wrong.

Read and follow the washing instructions carefully, don’t wash too often, and you’ll have a hot looking bedroom into the future, and you’ll be using your hot bedding for years. I have some bedding that I still love 20 years after I bought it.
