how do hotels keep sheets white?

Clean white bed sheets are a trademark of high-quality luxury hotels. According to colour psychology, white sheets convey a sense of purity, cleanliness and comfort, so there’s little wonder why it’s the shade of choice for upscale hotels across the world. We all know, however, that white fabric stains easily, so how do you keep your bed sheets shining with a luxurious five-star flair?

Probably the most fundamental step is to separate your whites and colours when starting up a wash. Dyes from coloured fabrics, clothes and bedlinen can easily bleed into your precious pearly whites when they’re mixed in a washing cycle – so start by separating them out. It’s also best to wash bedding separately from clothes, towels, and other lint-producing fabrics to avoid bobbling on your sheets.

The best hotels use high-power detergents and industrial-grade washing machines to keep their sheets clean, but a careful washing routine can get you the same results at home. Your white bed sheets will thank you for keeping your washing machine in good condition, so deep cleaning your drum every 1-3 months is a vital step. Natural cleaning agents like vinegar and baking soda can help keep your machine spotless and sparkling while acting as bleaching agents for white bed linen.

Once you’ve got your machine in good nick, it’s time to think about what cleaning products are best. Contrary to popular belief, you should never use bleach to whiten your bedding. Chemical bleach can be damaging to bedlinen’s delicate fibres, and will eventually give protein stains like sweat, saliva or blood a yellowish tinge if used repeatedly. The best cleaning products for white bed sheets are high-quality powders and detergents that are rich in enzymes, as these help to break up any stains that have set in.
