clean the sheets and remove all bacteria

“Before starting the washing process, it is crucial to know the quality of the fabric of our sheets,” emphasizes home cleaning expert, María López. “This first step allows us to select products and washing machine settings precisely, ensuring optimal care of the linens and their long-term durability.”

Once the quality of the fabric has been determined, the next step is to load the washing machine with a few items, thus preventing excess clothing from interfering with the washing process. According to specialists, washing sheets separately from other garments, such as pillowcases or blankets, contributes to more effective cleaning and prevents cross-contamination.

However, the most innovative aspect of this trick lies in the temperature of the water used during washing. Contrary to popular belief that hot water is the best option for eliminating germs and bacteria, experts suggest that a washing temperature that does not exceed 60 degrees Celsius is equally effective and friendlier to the durability of the sheets.

“By selecting a washing program with hot or warm water, we are guaranteeing a deep cleaning of the sheets without compromising their quality,” explains López. “This approach allows us to completely eliminate germs, mites and bacteria that can lodge in bedding, ensuring a more hygienic and healthy sleeping environment.”
