How To Wash Your White Sheets
Here are a few fundamental steps you can take to get sheets that are snow white and soft to the touch:
- Never fill your washing machine to more than 80% capacity. If you overload it, your clothes and sheets will not come out perfectly clean. They may absorb the detergent, which can leave unslightly residue.
- Wash your white sheets in hot water at around 130°F. Lower temperatures fail to remove stains and won't get them that bright white color you're looking for.
- Finally, the secret to getting soft hotel-quality sheets: white vinegar. Just add half a cup to your load before the rinse cycle. It's cheaper and more effective than store-bought fabric softeners. It's also 100% natural!
