Investing in high quality linens is worth it, if, you take care of them. Quality linens last for years. Instead of buying new sheets every year or two, buying a few good sets may last you the rest of your life.

Start with a well-known brand, Scheuer Linens is one. Buy as high of a thread count as you can afford. Second, buy as many sets as you can afford. I like to keep a minimum of 3 sets per bed. Third, buy a plain white or neutral color. I know you might be tempted to buy one of the fabulous textures or colors but unless you’re absolutely sure that you will still love teal in 15 years, stick with a neutral color.

Change your sheets weekly at minimum, or twice per week. Wash sheets, alone ‘one set’ per wash load in luke warm water (never hot), use a good quality soap for linens, use fabric softners minimally or, not at all. Put in a few drops of lavendar water in the rinse cycle.

Dry sheets well, fold and store in a cool, dry closet or drawer until needed.

Nothing ends a day better than slipping into a well made, freshly cleaned bed. Spoil yourself and enjoy a fresh made bed more often with the steps above.
