Is it time for you to clean your bedsheets again? Have you considered easier, greener ways to get the job done? There are a lot of chemical-free ways to tackle this chore.
There is no better feeling than laying down on changed, fresh sheets at the end of a long day. Consider making the most out of it by using healthier alternatives to cleaning your sheets.
For that, here are a few green-cleaning ways you might want to try out:
Turn down the temperature
Using a colder washing temperature uses less energy compared to a hot setting. It also keeps your machine from shrinking your sheets or causing the colors to fade.
If you want a greener way of washing your sheets, turn down the temperature. This will also help you save more money from utility costs.
Consider detergents with natural ingredients
You might want to rethink washing your sheets with commercials bleach or detergents. It’s time to start looking into ones that contain organic ingredients.
Chemical-free bleach is convenient but you can also consider ingredients like lemon juice or citric acid which can make for a natural cleaning solution. You don’t need to go out of your way to buy commercial ones.
Wash with baking soda
Pour half a cup of baking soda as you put your sheets into your washing machine. This will result in a solution that brightens and deodorizes your sheets. For the best result, make sure to soak it for about 30 minutes.
Air drying
Air drying your sheets has been a time-tested and proven method of cleaning sheets long before washing machines.
Instead of relying on a dryer, you may hang your sheets outside to give them a natural, sun-soaked drying. It gives them a nice and fresh scent that will make it easier for you to relax.
You can also consider hiring a cleaning company to give your bedroom the tenderness, love, and care it needs. Clean House Services is well-equipped and trained for the job, so give us a call and learn how we can help out!
