You should try washing your linen in cold water if they are not heavily soiled as it will help in increasing the life of your bed linen.
- Washer Setting - It is typically a safe bet to choose the gentle cycle if of your washing machine to wash your linen.
- Use only mild detergents. You can occasionally use a combination of baking soda and white vinegar as a substitute of bleach and fabric softener to get the whiteness and softness. Add half a cup of baking soda with your detergent at the beginning of the wash cycle. Then, at the start of the rinse cycle, pour in half a cup of white vinegar.
- Never use bleach. Bleach also eats away at the fibers in your linens and can cause a gradual yellowing of your whites.
- Avoid fabric softeners. They will decrease the absorbency of your linens especially towels.

- Iron your sheets – To achieve crisp clean and polished look always iron your linen.
