HOW TO... freshen up bedding
✓ Air your bedding everyday, opening the window for at least 20 minutes when you get up and folding back the duvets or sheets, and try to wash bed linen once a week, twice in the summer months if possible. Take a look at the care label and wash at the highest temperature it allows. If whites are looking grey then you could be using insufficient detergent, either because the load size is too large or you live in a hard water area. Drying white sheets out in the sun, or storing them in a warm airing cupboard, can cause them to yellow so try to dry them in the shade.
