There's nothing quite like the feeling of slipping into bed or wrapping yourself in a fresh, vibrant towel. Over time, though, our linens can lose their brightness. Fear not, for a natural and speedy solution is at hand! In this blog, I explore how to bring back the brilliance to your bedding and towels, the natural way.
Before we begin, gather the tools of transformation:
-
Natural Laundry Detergent & Fabric Softener
-
Alternative Bleach
-
Natural Stain Remover
-
A basin or sink
-
Abundant natural sunlight
Step 1: Bright, plush linens start with sorting. Separate sheets and towels from your other laundry and set aside to wash separately. This will avoid bunching and tangling during the wash cycle. Next, scan linens for stains...
Step 2: Pre-Treat Stains
Start by identifying any stubborn stains on your bedding or towels. I then apply my Stain Remover directly to the stains, gently massaging it into the fabric. This powerful yet gentle formula works to break down stains without compromising the integrity of your linens.
Step 3: Soak & Swirl
Fill a basin or sink with lukewarm water and add a recommended amount of Alternative Bleach to the warm water. Submerge your linens into the prepared solution, ensuring they are fully saturated. Allow them to soak for the recommended duration, usually as per the product instructions or around 15-30 minutes. This will brighten whites and remove further stains effectively.
After this, drain out the water and wash as normal using a Natural Laundry Detergent. If you love extra soft and cozy bedding & towels, give linens the full spa treatment and add a natural Fabric Softener to the wash along with your detergent.
Step 4: Let the Sun Work Its Magic
Harness the natural power of sunlight by placing your linens in a bright, sunlit area to dry. The combination of cleaning agents and sunlight will work wonders in revitalising the colours of your bedding and towels.
