Why you should wash your new bed sheets

There are several reasons why new sheets should be washed when we buy them, but there are 2 that we consider to be the most important:

• * The first reason, and perhaps the most important, has to do with the making and tinting of the sheets. Although in general, when we talk about quality sheets, all products pass strict quality controls, before going on sale.

Even with all these controls, some things must be taken into account: During the manufacturing process of the sheets, the fabric is subjected to different processes, such as dyeing, printing, finishing, etc. This is why we must wash the sheets, duvet covers and in general all the bedding before using it .

• * The second reason, why we must wash the sheets, is the softness. The composition, density and texture of the fabric vary from one model to another. While cotton predominates in some, polyester or any other fiber does it in others. In the same way, some sheets are "thicker" or have more passes than others. These variations in fabrics make the sheets feel rougher or softer.

If we want to have the maximum softness of the fabric from the first moment, it is highly recommended to wash the bedding, before the first use, since we will soften the possible roughness that it may have as a result of the manufacturing process.

Tips for washing new sheets

The first thing you should do before washing your new set of sheets is to always read the manufacturer's instructions . The manufacturer is the one who knows best how to treat their product. You have to take into account, for example, that 100% cotton sheets tend to shrink a bit. This should not worry you, because manufacturers already take this into account when making sheets.

In any case, we repeat that in order not to have any problems, and that our bedding will last us a long time in the best conditions, it is best to follow the manufacturer's washing instructions.
