“BEING INFORMED IS EQUIVALENT TO HAVING POWER”
Before you put that bedding stock in that laundry machine, make sure you read the label attached. The label has instructions on how to wash your quilts. A basic understanding of your quilt cover fabric can save it from being destroyed. Not all fabrics require the same washing tactics. For instance, if you have a quilt cover or a bedsheet that is made of pure cotton, place it in your machine, add your detergent, it should have ingredients that are mild and friendly, not harsh, and make sure the water is set to warm. Not too cold and not too hot. The hot temperature of the water will shrink your sheets thus, make sure you avoid that. It needs to be washed at least every two weeks.
Therefore, it is highly significant that you read the fabric label for it to last long and provide you the same comfort that it did when you bought it first.
“KNOW THE UNKNOWN- VACUUM CLEANING”
What is that one thing that is a major part of your bed? Your mattress, right. Ever known that your mattress requires the same amount of cleaning as your bed linens and quilt covers do. Now you must be thinking of a way to clean your mattress. You do not have to fill a bucket of detergent and water to clean it up, and you can not even put it in a laundry, then what? Well, here is the secret, your vacuum cleaner becomes the savior. It is a good thing if you are already flipping your mattress, at least once a year, but it needs deep cleansing too.

Wait about half an hour and then use your vacuum cleaner to take in all the bad smells and dirt it has been carrying for a long time.
There are some UV vacuums available, specific in this regard, which help in sanitizing your mattress and keeping it clean from dust and mites.
“SCOURING IS OVERWHELMING”
We often see our heavy quilt covers laying in the laundry area and waiting for the magic to come and clean them. Well, here is one trick that still requires some physical effort from you. When washing heavy duvets, if you own a front-loading laundry machine, cheers to you just wrap it in, use a gentle detergent, and turn that washer on. Make sure you take into account some precautions including:

“CLEAN SHEETS AND PILLOWCASES= FRESH VIBES”
Most of us own standard sheets and pillowcases. There is no hard rule when it comes to cleaning, but both of the accessories need cleaning at least twice a week. The washing machine you own is enough for it but as mentioned before using a mild detergent, helps keep the crisp and freshness of your sheets and pillowcases for a long period. Moreover, avoid using detergents with fragrances it might not be good for the fabric and your skin as well. Instead, use fragrance oil. That will keep the fabric in its original shape and odorless.
However, if you own a luxurious and delicate set of pillowcases and sheets, you need to set your washer to delicate settings and read the labels to further know whether it requires cold or warm water and the temperature of the dryer. It is significant to know.
