Taking Care of your Bed & Bath Linen

Bed and bath linen are essential parts of our daily lives, integrating into our vital activities. In fact, can you imagine life without a towel, bathing robe or bathrobe (for many), bath towels, bath mats, bath sheets, bathroom rugs, or even bed sheets?  

Chances are, probably not! If you add things like cushion covers, quilts, bed covers, comforters, Dohars, bedspreads, Dohar blankets, quilt covers, and other bed linen into the mix, you will realize how vast a category this actually is! However, taking proper care of your bedding and bath linen is a must to ensure their longevity and quality. Buying these products is the first and easiest step in the journey with these essential products. Taking care of linens determines how long they will serve you with proper quality and great usage experiences. 

How to Choose High-Quality Bed and Bath Linens?  

Selecting superior bed and bath linens involves considering various factors, including comfort, durability, and overall satisfaction. To guide you in choosing the finest options, here are some tips for both bed and bath linens:  

Bed Linen:  

• Design and Style:

  While functionality is essential, don't forget about the aesthetics. Choose bed linens that complement your bedroom decor and personal style. Our Exquisite Kalakari Haath Collection, Rangana Collection, and SPUN collection by SPACES, bed linens, including bedsheets, come in attractive and colourful designs and become a bridge to comfort and happiness.  

• Material Matters:

  Opt for high-quality and pure cotton, renowned for its softness and durability. Selecting high-quality materials is crucial for a restful sleep, whether you're looking for blankets, quilts, dohars, pillow covers, or other bedding essentials. 

• Breathability and Comfort:

  Linen, being breathable and growing softer over time, is an excellent choice, particularly in warmer climates.

• Fit Matters:

  Ensure that the sheets properly fit your mattress, especially with deep pockets for thicker mattresses.  

• Protectors:

  Invest in mattress and pillow protectors to prolong the life of your bed linens. These protective layers protect against stains, moisture, and allergens, keeping your bedding fresh and clean.  

Bath Linen:  

• Absorbency Champion:

  Egyptian or Turkish Cotton is prized for its absorbency and softness, while Bamboo or Microfiber excel in quick-drying properties.  

• Weight Wisdom:

  Towel weight is measured in grams per square meter (GSM). Aim for a range between 400-600 GSM for a perfect balance of thickness and absorbency.

• Construction Considerations:

  Look for double-turned edges and double stitching, as these contribute to the durability of bath towels.

• Size Selection:

  Consider the sizes of bath towels, hand towels, and washcloths to ensure they align with your practical needs.

• Softness Standard:

  Softness is crucial for comfort, and washing towels before use can enhance their softness.  

By keeping these tips in mind, you'll be well-equipped to select bed and bath linens that offer the utmost quality, comfort, and longevity.  

How to Keep Your Bed and Bath Linen Fresh and Durable?

Ensuring your bed and bath linens stay fresh and durable requires consistent care and proper maintenance. Here are some guidelines to help you preserve the quality of your linens:  

For Bed Linens:  

• Wash bed linens regularly, preferably every one to two weeks.  
• Adhere to the care instructions on the labels to prevent fabric damage.  
• Wash light and dark-coloured linens separately to prevent colour bleeding.  
• Opt for cold water as it is gentler on fabrics, helping retain colours and prevent shrinkage.  
• Use a mild, eco-friendly detergent to avoid harsh chemicals that may harm fibres.  
• Avoid overloading the washing machine to ensure adequate cleaning and reduce wear and tear.  
• Tumble dry on low heat or, better yet, line dry to preserve fabric quality.  

• Remove linens promptly from the dryer to prevent wrinkles.  
• Store linens in a cool, dry place, avoiding damp areas to prevent mould and mildew.  

For Bath Linens 

• After each use, hang bath towels to dry to prevent bacterial growth and maintain freshness.  
• Wash bath towels separately from clothing to avoid lint transfer.  
• Please refrain from using fabric softeners, as they can reduce towel absorbency. Occasionally, vinegar is used to remove detergent residue and restore absorbency.  
• Periodically wash bath linens with hot water and a cup of white vinegar to eliminate built-up detergent and bacteria.  
• Recognize that towels have a lifespan; replace them when they become frayed, thin, or lose their absorbency.  

We all know that there are several varieties of towels online today, including several cotton towels with premier materials. You will find cotton bath towels and bathrobes online and options like bathing gowns, towel sets, and face towels or hand towels. In the bed linen category, you can always find several kinds of bed sheets online as well. These include cotton bedsheets and other accessories, including blankets, cushion covers, bed comforters, and more.   

But have you ever considered how best you can take care of your precious bed and bath linen? Here are some quick tips that will make caring for your linens a breeze!  

Tips for taking care of bed and bath linen impeccably  

These tips will help you immensely with maintaining your bed and bath linen products in the best possible way. They include the following:  

• It is always recommended that you wash your bed sheets and towels on a weekly basis. This will help keep them clean and well-maintained above everything else.  

• You can also wash your pillows and comforters once each month. This is necessary for combating things like dust, foul odours, chemical build-up, and dead cells. There is a residue from dirt, oil, and detergent, which also has to be removed.  
• Wash your towels in smaller loads and only in tandem with other towels. Add a cup of vinegar for the washing cycle in order to get rid of chemical build-up.  
• You can also put half a cup of baking soda into the washing process for musty odours. Do not add baking soda and vinegar together in the same washing cycle though.  
• Machine washing is ideal for pillows, comforters, and bedsheets. You can also rub chalk on greasy stains to eliminate them. If they are non-oil stains, then you can use cold water to clean them up. Oil-based stains need to be soaked in hot water before cleaning.  
• Always air dry or tumble dry your linens. If possible, remove your bed linen from the washing machine before completely drying. You can then air dry them to get rid of wrinkles.  

Silica gel sachets can be used in the storage zone for linen. This will help combat moisture successfully, while fragrant silica gel sachets will also scent your bed and bath linens nicely. You can use lavender for a peaceful and refreshing sleep. The best part is that it is also a natural insect repellent!
