To keep your bed sheets smelling fresh and feeling crisp, proper storage is key. Here’s how:
Wash and dry thoroughly
Make sure your sheets are completely dry before storing to prevent musty smells or mildew.
Fold neatly
Smooth out wrinkles and fold them flat to save space and prevent creasing.
Use breathable storage
Skip plastic tubs. Opt for fabric storage bags, cotton pillowcases, or open shelves to let air circulate.
Add a natural freshener
Pop in a sachet of lavender, cedar, or even a dryer sheet for a gentle scent.
Rotate regularly
Use your oldest set next to keep everything in rotation and avoid that “sitting too long” smell.
Bonus Tip: Store your flat sheet, fitted sheet, and matching pillowcases inside one of the pillowcases a neat little bundle that’s easy to grab when it’s time to change the bed.
