How to Care for Sheets

Step 1

Spray or blot oil or dirt stains on the sheets with a prewash spot remover, and gently brush the spot with a toothbrush.

Step 2

Fill the washer with warm water, and add 1 cup of laundry detergent to the water. Distribute the sheets evenly into the washer to prevent it from becoming imbalanced.

Step 3

Dry the sheets as instructed on their label, or on a low heat setting.

Step 4

Change your bed's sheets weekly to reduce germs and stains from your body's natural oils and sweat.

Step 5

Fold your bed linens and store them in a cool, dry storage closet to prevent musty odors.
