Why are hotel bed sheets white?

Usually the sheets in hotels are white and, although it is increasingly common to find sheets and towels in other colors, the trend for white continues to predominate in the vast majority of hotels.

Have you ever wondered why they use sheets so clean and shiny that they seem new every time? Will it be for cleaning, fashion, hygiene, taste ... or why? Resuinsa , a leading company in hospitality textiles, gives you some reasons:

WHITE MEANS CLEANING

One of the most important elements of hotel rooms is to convey cleanliness, since different people pass through the same hotel room every day, and it is very relevant for the guest to find a clean, comfortable room with a renewed appearance.

A white sheet can be washed at a higher temperature and can be treated with disinfectants that provide completely sanitized and clean sheets. The white allows to detect any sample of dirt immediately, providing greater cleaning security than any other color, and that gives peace of mind and confidence. Just what you want to achieve.

THE QUALITY OF WHITE

White is the color that best conveys technical quality, measured objectively, and also in perceived quality, subjectively appreciated. White is the symbol of luxury. Whiteness inspires luxury and sophistication and is associated with purity and cleanliness. Not just in sight, but you're supposed to sleep better, and feel better in a white bed.

EASY REPLACEMENT OF A SINGLE PART

At a logistical level, maintaining white sheets is much easier than with colored sheets. If a part is broken or worn, it can be replaced, without the need to change the entire bedding set.

WHITE NEVER GOES OUT OF FASHION

It seems that it has no secrets, but the fashion for white beds has not always been there. When the first hotels started promoting their white beds in the 1990s, most hotels used colored sheets, because they were easier to keep clean. It had an effect of total renovation, with a whiteness with aura in the middle of the room, which has been expanding.

White is a timeless color, which always matches any other color in the light spectrum. You can renew a room periodically by changing textile accessories such as blankets, plaids, cushions, quadrants and bedspreads according to the latest fashion, and keep the sheets white without the need for further investment.

For all these reasons, Resuinsa's most successful product for hotels is white sheets, high-quality, long-lasting pieces that have endless possibilities to combine and create personal styles for each hotel and space.

You don't know how to buy bed sheets, but here's help .

Get used to the idea that, more or less, it will be like discovering that sun protection factor 100 does not work and that Humphrey Bogart never said Play it again, Sam in Casablanca . Are you ready?

Just because you buy high thread count sheets does not mean they are of better quality . Indeed, MORE is not always BETTER.

It's amazing, but true. Our colleagues from the US edition of The Huffington Post spoke with Nancy Koltes , designer of luxury bedding, and Shannon Maher, professor at the Fashion Institute of Technology , to try to uncover this lie.

What is the misunderstanding?

The thread count , Maher defined as "the number of threads per square inch " having tissue seems to have become a great marketing ideal.

"It's an invention of the American market ," Koltes said. In particular, thread count is not so much a "lie" as a counterfeit way of determining the quality of sheets, especially when used as the only way to define quality. Much like we associate the labels "low-fat" or "organic" with food, bedding distributors extended this idea to their luxury lines in the mid-1990s, Koltes explains. But with the new millennium, the "thread count lie" has reached new heights with the introduction of the first line of over 1000 threads per square inch . "It's just a promotional thing. Thread counting doesn't mean quality," says Koltes. However,

So what should we do?

Rather than relying solely on thread count when shopping for the perfect sheets, consider the following factors as well:

• Fiber: According to Maher, most sheets are made of cotton, but we should look for a longer fiber. "Longer fibers are ideal, because spinning them gives them strength, which means less carding." Egyptian cotton, which Koltes calls the standard of excellence, has a long grain . Other good quality fiber options include pima and supima cotton , organic, cotton-polyester, and even bamboo .

• Fabric: According to the Real Simple website , the fabric of the sheets "affects the touch, appearance, longevity and price." There are many types of fabrics, but " calico is the most prominent, " explains Maher. "It is a balanced fabric , like that of a basket, and gives a feeling of freshness." Maher also suggests satin , which is "a little softer and warmer than calico."

Numbers are not everything: Even if a sheet has more threads, the number can be inflated by manipulating the manufacturing process with a poor quality thread. As a general rule, it is best to buy sheets with a minimum 200 thread count. From 800, the amount does not matter .

To help and protect consumers, the Federal Market Commission is trying to crack down on deceptive techniques and technology designed to increase thread counts, as well as misleading advertising.

• Location: Not all sheets are made equal. In an interview with New York Magazine , Amanda Mettler, purchasing manager for Gracious Home , said: "I can guarantee that a 200 thread count from Italy is better than a 1000 thread count from Pakistan." It is considered that in France and Italy are some of the best manufacturers of sheets, although fiber using not always come from those countries (Egyptian cotton is one of the most used).

• Price Matters: Maher reminds customers that "price and quality definitely go hand in hand."

• Finish is everything: Most sheets are finished with chemical processes so they won't wrinkle or shrink . Although it's okay for sheets not to wrinkle, try to find ones made of organic cotton, without chemicals .

So remember ...

You have to find a balance when buying sheets. For more information, you can consult this guide (in English) with tips to choose the best ones based on your budget.

6 mistakes you're making when washing sheets

There are few things that give us so much satisfaction at bedtime than falling into a bed covered in freshly washed sheets.

But enjoying that benefit at the end of the day certainly takes effort, and avoiding some mistakes you're making when washing sheets .

1. You wait too long between washes

You don't wear the sheets like you do your favorite gym pants or jeans, but you do spend a lot of time there.

And night after night, germs, sweat, and body oils build up quickly. So the most you can wait to change your sheets is two weeks, although once a week is even better.

2. You forget to pre-treat stains

If there are no stains there is obviously no need to treat the sheets. But it is always a good idea to check that there are no makeup residues on the covers, or to check that children's bedding is not stained with colored pencils.

A prewash stain remover can help remove any stains .

3. You overload the washing machine

We know it can be tempting to wash the sheets on your entire family's beds in one load, but in reality you will have to do two washes to get the job done, because sheets need room to turn to stay clean .

4. You don't choose the right wash cycle

Choosing a long or deep wash cycle is not necessary. It's okay to wash your sheets on the regular cycle , because this softer, shorter option will make your sheets wrinkle less.

You should also choose a temperature setting that will not damage the fabric, but is effective when it comes to cleaning. The hotter the water, the more germs it will kill.

5. You leave the sheets in the dryer too long

Bedding may take a little longer to dry than a regular load of clothes, but leaving your sheets in the dryer "just in case" is what can cause them to shrink.

The best way to dry your sheets is on a low setting for the shortest time possible. This minimizes shrinkage and helps reduce wrinkles.

6. You dry the sheets along with the towels

Not all fabrics are the same, so it is best to keep different fabrics in separate drying loads . Sheets dry faster than towels, so when the sheets are dry, the towels will probably still be wet.

 TAKE CARE OF YOUR FLANNEL GARMENTS

• Wash your flannel clothes with  Norit Machine , its formula cares for and protects fabrics with the same care as if you did it by hand.
• Avoid the use of fabric softeners as they can cause increased pilling (detachment of fiber balls).
• Select a short program and at a low temperature, avoiding intense spinning.
• Do not twist flannel garments, you could deform them or break their fibers. Treat them gently when laying them out.
• After washing flannel garments in the washing machine, try not to wash light-colored garments, this will prevent the lint that the flannel may have loosened from remaining on the garments.
