The manufacturer’s instructions on washing and care are a handy guide to refer to when you wash the bed sheet for the first time. Most single and double bed sheets can be washed in the washing machine, provided you follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Most single bed sheets may be washed in warm to cool water, with a normal tumble cycle (unless a lower one is specified), low spin and without the use of bleach. If you think the bed sheet material is too stiff or scratchy, you may use a good quality fabric softener in the wash.
Single bed sheets from leading brand like Spaces may also be ironed on low heat. It is recommended that you wash bed sheets separately and do not dry clean them.
It is best to look for a high quality single bed sheet with hassle-free washing and care. If the washing takes too much of your time, or if it cannot be washed at home, then it’s probably not a good investment. You can stock up on a few great colours and patterns, and liven up your bedroom in a jiffy!
