Avoid very hot temperatures when washing and drying; they weaken fibers.
Use mild detergent and wait until it’s diluted before putting sheets in the washer. Undiluted detergents can discolor fabric. And don’t overdo the detergent: If it isn’t completely rinsed out, sheets will feel stiff.
Avoid brighteners and other bleaching agents; they weaken and discolor fibers. To brighten whites, add 1/4 cup lemon juice to the wash cycle instead of bleach.
Dry on the low or medium heat setting; overdrying sheets weakens fibers and bakes off finishes.
Store laundered, completely dry sheets in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight.
Keep three sets of sheets for each bed and rotate weekly.
To keep sets together and the linen closet neat, store each set in a matching pillowcase.
