Prewash of new sheets

The sheets that come out of the package can feel a little rough from the addition of chemicals during the manufacturing process. Regular detergent can block harsh chemicals, thus preventing bed sheets from feeling their utmost softness. To combat this, it is important to pre-wash your sheets with baking soda and vinegar before using them. Use a cup of baking soda to start the wash and then add a cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle. After this wash, the bed sheets will be ready to use.

Sheet washing process

The sheets should be washed regularly once a week. Depending on your lifestyle, the once-a-week rule can be stretched. For those who travel often and aren't using their bed, they can stretch out the regular washings to accommodate the days when the sheets are sleeping. Those who sweat in bed every night will want to do more laundry often.

Take the sheets off the bed

Peel the sheets off the bed to prepare for washing. Before throwing away the machine, read the care label to make sure there are no brand-specific care requirements for specialty fabric.

Put the sheets in the washing machine

Put the sheet sets in the washing machine in a load reserved for sheets only. If you have a little more room to put extra items, you can add a couple of cotton T-shirts, or some underwear, that belongs to the same color family as the bedding.

Do not mix towels in the wash with sheets, as the roughness of the towels will work much like sandpaper to make the sheets wear faster. Towels can also produce fluff balls that will end up covering the sheets when thrown together. Make sure not to over tie in the washing machine. An overloaded machine will cause the blades to not be washed completely and may even cause the machine's motor to break.

Add detergent

After the sheets are in the machine ready to be washed, it's time to add the detergent. Per the instructions for the load size, measure the detergent and put it in the washing machine. Make a note of your machine's requirements as to where the soap should be placed.

Like some machines, the detergent can be thrown out along with the load, while others have a special compartment. Make sure not to use too much detergent as this could cause the sheets to wear out faster than you would like. Typically a quarter cup of liquid is enough for a regular size load. If the sheets are unusually dirty, you may want to add a little more soap.

Choose wash cycle

The new machines can have so many configurations that it is like flying an airplane. It is important to choose the correct cycle of the machine to suit the cleaning requirements of the sheets. Some contemporary machines have a cycle made specifically for this type of fabric. If yours doesn't have a special sheet setting, put the clothes on a regular cycle. Typically, you'll want to wear a warm setting and reserve a very high temperature only when the sheets are heavily soiled from illness. Keep in mind that regular washing on a very hot setting will make the blades wear out faster.

Put in wash supplement

If you want, you can add a supplement to help wash the sheets. There are natural ingredients that can enhance the cleaning process to prepare the sheets to enhance the sleep experience.
A quarter cup of lemon juice in the wash cycle will work to clarify. Lemon juice is a perfect alternative to a strong bleach or brightening chemical additive. A cup of white vinegar added to the rinse cycle will ensure that any minimal amount of detergent is completely removed.
