Rest easy.


There’s nothing as comfortable as a freshly made bed, with crisp clean sheets, luxurious pillows and cozy warm blankets, quilts or duvets. Online resource Remodelista offers tips about bedding laundry, here are a few highlights. Use a minimum of a low-impact detergent, avoid heat and never use softener or dryer sheets — they make fabric less absorbent. Bring pillows, quilts and duvets to a professional, they’re tricky and hard to dry in a home machine. Don’t let the bedroom become stuffy, consider using an essential oil like lavender, rose geranium or cedar to add freshness.
