🧼 Choosing the Right Detergent

• ✔ Use a mild detergent
• ✔ Liquid detergent is recommended
• ❌ Avoid bleach (except for occasional professional use)

Natural Alternatives

• White vinegar (small amount)
• Baking soda

👉 Fabric softener is not recommended, as it coats fibers and reduces breathability.

☀️ Drying: A Key Step

• Air drying is highly recommended
• Tumble drying is allowed at low temperature
• Remove bedding while slightly damp to reduce wrinkles

💡 For professional use, opt for short and regular drying cycles.

✨ Ironing and Storage

• Iron when the fabric is still slightly damp
• Use medium heat for cotton and linen
• Fold neatly and store in a dry place

👉 Well-ironed bedding enhances the feeling of cleanliness and quality.

🧴 How to Remove Stains Without Damaging the Fabric

• Act immediately after the stain appears
• Use Marseille soap or baking soda
• Never put stained bedding in the dryer, as heat sets stains permanently

🏨 Tips for Hotels & Hospitality Professionals

• Rotate bedding sets regularly
• Label and track each batch of linens
• Store bedding in a dry, well-ventilated area
• Choose fabrics designed for intensive laundering

👉 Well-maintained bedding improves guest experience and reduces replacement costs.
