An Expert's Guide on How to Keep Your White Bedding Bright White

 If you're a fan of all-white bedding, you might have struggled with keeping your sheets and towels as bright white as the day you bought them. Keeping your whites bright requires some dedication, but it can definitely be managed if you keep on top of it!

How to Wash White Bedding and Towels

There are a few things to know to avoid having your white bedding yellow over time. Always follow the manufacturer's washing instructions, but here are some helpful tips:

  • Wash in cold or warm water. 
  • Don't add too much soap - it can coat the fibers of your sheets, leading to sticky soap buildup that attracts dust and grime.
  • Never wash anything with a protein stain (i.e. blood) in hot water - heat sets protein stains. Instead, dab the stain with cold water and soak in cold water and some OxiClean or other stain remover. 
  • Wash your whites separately from your colors, and separate your sheets and towels (even if they're all white). Towels are bulkier than sheets, so you want them to wash on their own.
  • Never use fabric softener on towels: white towels or any towels. It coats the fibers 
  • Here's a biggie - do not use bleach! Bleach causes yellowing over time. OxiClean's White Revive is a better option. Use it like you would bleach - put it in the bleach dispenser of your washer. 
  • For sheets that have yellowed with age or sweat, add 1/2 cup of baking soda sprinkled in your washer, followed by 1/2 cup of white vinegar once the clothes are in. Add detergent like normal, too. 

How to Keep Your White Bedding and Towels White

  • Wash your makeup off before bed - waterproof mascara is especially hard to get out. 
  • Avoid eating, drinking, and wearing street clothes in bed.
  • Clean sheets regularly - every 1-2 weeks, more if you share the bed with pets.
  • Clean towels every 2-3 washes. 
  • Spot treat stains immediately. 
  • Lint roll your white duvet cover if pet hair gets on it.
