Generally, each is accompanied detailed instruction on care and operation from the manufacturer. However, it will not be superfluous to familiarize yourself with the nuances that depend on the material of the product.

Cotton

Bedding made from natural raw materials is considered the best, as it does not cause irritation. Cotton products should be stored in a closet or chest of drawers so that direct sunlight does not fall on it - they are prone to yellowing and tarnishing. To keep them fresh and aromatic longer, place a bag of fragrant herbs next to them.

Hand wash is best. Machine washable only on hand wash at 40°C. Press at a power of less than 600 rotations per minute.

You can remove stains by any specialized means, it stably tolerates the action of aggressive bleaches. If you want to resort to folk methods, remember that acetic, citric and other acids are prohibited.

When ironing on the iron, set “cotton” - the machine heats up to 200°C. If there are kinks or folds, use steam treatment.

satin

It belongs to cotton fabrics and is characterized by a beautiful sheen, which is achieved due to the double twist of the thread. Expensive high-quality textiles are sewn from satin, which is characterized by increased strength. It practically does not wrinkle, the structure of the canvas prevents the appearance of pellets and rubbing.

The satin set can be cleaned in a gentle mode at 40-45 ° C, spinning - no higher than 600. Avoid powders containing bleaching components. The material is quite durable, able to withstand up to four hundred washing cycles.

You still need to iron textiles: maximum - 200 ° C, iron with front side. If you have a set of VIP satin in front of you, then lower the mark to 150.

Coarse calico

Another type of cotton fabric. For its production, a cross-weaving of thick threads is used, so it is a little rough to the touch.

Before erasing, carefully study what paints the drawing was applied with - the temperature index of the water depends on this. Play it safe and choose a delicate position where the spin does not exceed 600 rpm. It is appropriate to add conditioner to the powder.

The coarse calico withstands the impact of the drying chamber and open space. Iron inside out at 200°C.

Atlas

It is elegant, luxurious, gives a pleasant coolness. Distinguish between polyester and silk - care depends on its variety. For example, acetate and silk satin are dry clean only. And the rest of the subspecies can be washed by hand or in a typewriter at 30-60 ° C. Mild cleaners, antistatic agents are best suited.

For ironing, select the “silk” function - ironing with a humidifier at 150 degrees.

Silk

Such sets are considered luxury and premium, especially if they are made from real silkworm cocoons. If you don’t want to throw money away, store duvet covers and sheets in cardboard boxes. You can also wrap in white paper with a neutral hydrogen environment or gauze.

The best option is dry cleaning. But if only available machine wash, then make sure that manual mode is selected, the temperature is 30°C. Does not welcome push-ups, twisting and rubbing. Rinse alternately with warm and cold water. Do not dry in the sun or near heat sources!

Silk is ironed exclusively from the inside out with an iron heated to 130 ° C. Do not wet it to avoid streaks.

Bamboo

Bamboo fiber sheets are very soft and strong enough, have hypoallergenic properties and an antibacterial environment. At the same time, it requires careful handling - it cannot be dry-cleaned and bleached. Automatic drying - only sparing.

Jacquard

Jacquard lingerie is a work of art. It is made from several dozen threads. different colors and quality. Complex weaving creates an unusual embossed pattern. Accordingly, his distinctive features dictate the basics of appeal:

• avoid direct contact with sunlight and heating devices (minimum distance from the fireplace or radiator - 30 cm);
• bleaching is prohibited;
• dry type of cleansing is welcome;
• wash in water, not warmer than 30 degrees;
• no spin;
• iron inside out at 130 degrees.

It is difficult to keep up with modern production. Products from new, combined materials are constantly appearing, using the latest decorative elements. When buying, you get a quality product, which comes with a clear instruction with all the markings provided.

SanPiNs for children and medical institutions It is recommended to change bed linen as it gets dirty, but at the same time at least once a week. The same periodicity can be followed at home - in a week the linen loses its freshness, but does not yet have time to get greasy, and as a result it is easily washed off.

IN winter time When a person sweats less, and pajamas and warm nightgowns are used for sleep, bed linen can be changed every two weeks. By the way, in many European countries it is customary to change linen every 10-14 days, but there the beds are firstly ventilated, and secondly, the air temperature in the bedroom is often lower than usual for Russians.

Pillowcases that come into contact not only with the skin, but also with the hair (especially if the hair is oily) usually get dirty faster - especially since in this case, the remnants of night creams can accumulate on the fabric, decorative cosmetics etc. At the same time, the tissue is in contact with the skin of the face all night. Therefore, it is better to change pillowcases more often - once every 2-3 days.

The bed of feverish patients is best washed after one day of use. If this is not possible, it is necessary to at least put a clean pillowcase on the pillow every day.

Preparing laundry for washing

• by type of fabric(the washing mode for different sets may be different);


• 
  according to the degree of dyeing of the fabric(it is better to wash white and light colors separately from color ones, even if these are items from the same set);


• 
  according to the degree of pollution(only sheets that are slightly sweat-soaked do not need to be washed on an intensive cycle, this will lead to premature wear of the fabric).

Duvet covers, pillowcases or mattress covers are usually turned inside out before washing - this will get rid of the dirt that accumulates in the corners.

If there are stains (for example, blood) on sheets made of colored delicate fabrics, they must be treated with a stain remover before washing. Soiled cotton or linen sheets do not require such treatment - it will be enough to adjust the washing regimen.

How to calculate the weight of bed linen for washing

The washing machine has load limits - they are calculated by the weight of dry laundry. At the same time, if we are talking about washing sheets and duvet covers, it must be borne in mind that this is quite bulk products. And in order for them to stretch well, it is better not to load the machine completely: the weight of dry laundry should be about one and a half times less than the maximum load.

Approximate bed linen weight:

• one and a half duvet cover - 500-700 grams,


• pillowcase - 200 grams,


• sheet - 350-500 grams.

How and at what temperature to wash bed linen

Before automatic washing machines became widespread, laundry was usually washed in very hot water, and often boiled to bleach and further sanitize. Now there is no need for such a "harsh" washing - modern technology in combination with modern detergents allows you to wash clothes with more low temperatures ah, which ensures better preservation of the fabric.

The optimal temperature for washing light-colored linen bed linen and linen made from thick cotton fabrics can be considered 60 degrees - this temperature is sufficient for disinfection, and the washing efficiency is quite high. If desired, you can wash such fabrics and at more high temperatures- linen is disinfected better this way, but linen will wear out faster. For washing such products, you can use a powder for white laundry or an all-purpose powder. To wash heavily soiled laundry (including stained sheets), you can use powdered bleaches or detergent boosters, as well as liquid bleaches for washing machines.

Colored bed linen and linen made of delicate fabrics are washed at 30-50 degrees. For colored linen, products for colored fabrics are used (marked with Color on the package). You can use liquid shampoos for washing - they are designed for use at low temperatures, and wash things quite well. Heavily soiled laundry is pre-soaked or pre-washed. Linen that is washed at low temperatures should be ironed before use - even if you are not a fan of ironing bed linen.

For washing children's bedding, use detergents for washing children's things. Typically, children's underwear is made from natural fabrics, which allows it to be washed at fairly high temperatures.

Exact recommendations for washing bed linen are contained on product labels or kit packaging - they indicate the recommended washing temperature, drying mode, the possibility or impossibility of using bleach, and so on. If we are talking about an expensive set of delicate fabrics or colored underwear with voluminous patterns, it is better to read the recommendations and follow them.
