    Step 2: Sorting blankets and pillowcases is a necessary step that cannot be overlooked. With blankets and pillowcases of different materials and colors, you need to divide them into multiple washes. This will prevent fabric damage or color fading.

    Step 3: After sorting, you need to shake off the dust and dirt on the sheets and pillowcases. This not only helps the washing step to be cleaner. It also helps your washing machine increase its lifespan.

    Step 4: You should use specialized laundry detergent to dab on stains and wait about 10-15 minutes before officially starting washing. This step allows the detergent to work effectively in removing stains, helping blankets and pillowcases to be washed cleaner.

    Step 5: The effective way to clean, smell good bedding and pillows is to use fabric softener that has a long-lasting scent. Currently on the market there are many types of fabric softeners with superior scent retention formulas. In addition, you can also add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to the fabric softener to make the fragrance more clear. Your bedding and mattress will always smell fresh all week long.

    For latex pillowcases, due to their natural mold resistance, every week when cleaning the pillowcase, you just need to shake off the pillow surface to limit dust and dirt adhesion. To be more careful, you can use a mattress vacuum cleaner to remove dust, hair and other dirt from the pillow.

You will do the same thing as washing clothes by hand, trying to rub out yellow stains or wringing out the entire pillow. Washing the pillowcase gently and carefully not only helps the pillow stay cleaner but also helps the pillow retain its shape longer than machine washing.
