After a long day of working, studying, or caring for the kids, the odds are good that you dream of retreating to your bedroom and cozying up under the covers. Unfortunately, it’s hard to rest and recharge if your private sanctum doesn’t meet your expectations. Over time, even the highest-quality bedding items can develop discoloration and stains that make them less than appealing. The good news is there are steps you can take to protect your sheets, comforters, and pillows and remove stains when they do arrive to ruin your day. At Latest Bedding, we’re passionate about supplying premium bedding that stands the test of time and holds up well through multiple washes. Want to love your primary bedroom again? Here are some of our top tips for keeping your bedding beautiful and stain-free throughout the years, courtesy of our experts.
Prevent Stains Before They Appear
If you have kids, pets, or a messy spouse, the odds are your bedding will develop stains from time to time. However, sometimes it’s possible to prevent these discolorations in the first place. Certain bedding products and accessories are designed to protect more costly pieces from damage. For example, pillow protectors exist to safeguard both your pillow and your pillowcase. Durable and washable, a good protector is worth its weight in gold. Take for example this Egyptian Cotton Pillow Protector Set from luxury designer Pure Parima. Boasting Cotton Egypt Association seal of approval, this set includes two pillow protectors and serves as a much-needed barrier between your pillowcase and your skin. As a result, your case and pillow are less likely to develop sweat stains or experience discoloration from your skin’s oils. As a bonus, the protector keeps dust mites and other pests from burrowing in your pillow, safeguarding both your hair and skin. Note that all Pure Parima Egyptian cotton bedding products are made without harsh chemicals or substances, so you can feel good about where family members are resting their heads at night.
Another great piece for protecting your bedding, the Sensa White Duvet Cover keeps your duvet clean, pristine, and stain-free. Crafted from innovative Sensotex fabric, which includes both natural eucalyptus and algae extract, the duvet cover wins acclaim thanks to its silky soft texture. Additionally, the material is known to be stronger than the competition and less prone to crumpling, so it always looks fresh and crisp. The result is a beautiful bedding option ideal for masters and guest rooms alike.
As well as being silky soft, Sensotex is eco-friendly. That means customers can feel good about the product they’re purchasing. And because this duvet cover is highly breathable, sleepers are less likely to wake up in a pool of sweat. For this reason, the Sensa Cover is a great choice for hot sleepers and anyone with acne or sensitive skin.
Wash Sheets and Pillowcases Regularly
You probably know that it’s important to wash your sheets once a week. The same goes for your duvet cover and pillowcase. What you might not realize is that duvets and pillows also require periodic washing. Experts recommend tossing your duvet or comforter in the wash every one to two months with additional spot cleaning as needed. Similarly, pillows should be laundered a couple of times a year to prevent a buildup of stains and odors. The fact is that neglecting to wash your pillow can increase asthma or rhinitis symptoms, thereby interfering with your ability to rest.
While many bedding products can be laundered at home in a washer and dryer, others require occasional dry cleaning. For best results, follow the care instructions on your bedding label. Your bedding is an investment, and the last thing you want is for your carefully chosen pieces to fall apart in the wash.
Gently Treat Stains
It’s easy to panic when you see a stain on your beloved sheets or pillowcases. The good news is many stains can be removed provided that you notice them early. Whenever possible, we recommend using a natural, gentle remedy for treating yellowing and discoloration. For example, white vinegar, baking soda, and lemon juice are known to remove stains from bedding. Have a darker or more serious mark on your luxury comforter set? A great alternative to bleach, enzyme-based cleaners are used to break down stains that have a protein base, such as bodily oils. Depending on the fabric and the nature of the stain, you may want to let your treatment sit on the bedding item for an hour or so before tossing it in the wash. We also recommend letting bedding products air dry when time permits rather than throwing them in the dryer.
Choose Washable Comforter Collections
If you don’t want to cart your bedding to the dry cleaner every time a stain occurs, it may be wise to invest in washable comforter collections. The good news is Latest Bedding offers a wide selection of products that can be tossed safely into the washer and dryer.
Made from 100 percent machine washable cotton sateen, the Bebejan Watercolor Blue Set makes keeping a tidy bedroom a breeze. The set showcases a bold all-over floral pattern on the front with calming blue shades to help you sleep easily. On the back is a pinstripe pattern over a linen-textured fabric. The result is that customers can easily flip their comforter when they feel like a change of scenery or fold the top down for extra interest. Additionally, this contemporary collection comes with two matching pillow shams, a graphic embroidered pattern pillow, and a printed pillow. A sustainable fabric bag finishes off the set and provides an easy option for storage. The set is available in sizes queen and king and ships free.
Another great choice for nature lovers, the Bebejan Antique Flowers Ivory Set has a romantic floral appeal rooted in classic elegance. This 100 percent cotton collection gets added oomph from jewel-toned blossoms set against an ivory backdrop. However, you can easily flip over the set to showcase the more subdued reverse side. Machine washable and dryable for your convenience, the collection comes with an embroidered diamond patterned pillow and a printed pillow. Two matching shams with zipper closures and a reusable fabric bag finish off the look.
It’s a great choice for master bedrooms, guest rooms, and even gifts for loved ones.
Prefer a more neutral look in the bedroom? Simple yet striking, the Bebejan Kyle Black Comforter Set hides stains with ease. However, you can machine wash it without worrying that the cotton sateen will lose its softness. This reversible five-piece collection features a herringbone and tweed pattern on the front and a repetitive geometric print on the reverse. With shades of black and grey, the set is sure to go well with a wide range of bedding and decor. Along with a comforter, this Bebejan set includes two zipper pillow shams, an embroidered pillow with a tufted button, and a printed pillow. A bonus bag, also washable, allows you to store linens when they aren’t in use. Customers can choose from sizes queen and king.
Bebejan isn’t the only Latest Bedding brand to provide machine washable bedding at reasonable prices. Another bedding favorite, Rose Tree supplies a wide selection of luxury comforter sets that can be tossed in the wash. A great choice for fall and beyond, the Harrogate Multi 4-Piece Comforter Set features red as the dominant color and a paisley print that brings other lovely hues like tan along for the ride. At once traditional and modern, the oversized comforter is extra cozy for the cold nights ahead. And because it’s reversible, you have options when it comes to styling. The collection includes two shams and a coordinating bed skirt with a four-inch center pleat. It comes in sizes queen and king. Note that interested parties can opt to purchase additional Harrogate pieces, such as the Multi Paisley Breakfast Pillow, Decorative Throw Pillow, Window Panel Pair, and Window Valance. The result is you can spend less time hunting down matching accessories and more time enjoying your beautiful new bedroom.
