When washing sheets, pour in a bowl of water, no matter how dirty or smelly, you can easily wash it!
How often do you wash your bed linen at home?
I don't know if you have the same distress as me: I clean the bed sheets at home once every 10 days or so, but the sheets are still dirty, especially the place where my husband lies when he sleeps, there are always "yellow stains".
Why do our bed sheets in the house have the problem of yellowing? How do you wash your sheets to get rid of these yellow stains and make them look as clean as new? Let's find out together.
01 Why do bed sheets turn yellow?
You may also find that the bed sheets at home will appear yellow after a period of use, and it is difficult to clean, why do bed sheets turn yellow? There are four main reasons.
The first reason is sebum production problems.
We have nearly 8 hours of sleep every day, and the oil secreted by sebum will remain on the sheets, especially the sebum secretion of male friends is more vigorous, which is also the reason why some male friends' bed sheets are more likely to turn yellow.
The squalene contained in our cortex, if it gets on the sheets, the yellowing of the sheets will occur.
When there is such a problem, there is no way to clean up ordinary laundry detergent at all, so the sheets will become more and more yellow.
The second reason is the sweat produced by the body.
In addition to the oil secreted by the cortex, our body also secretes some sweat when we sleep at night, which also causes the sheets to turn yellow more easily.
In our sweat, there are a lot of acids.
These acids are also prone to yellowing of the sheets and covers, and are difficult to clean.
The third reason is that the washing method is incorrect.
When most friends clean the sheets, they throw the sheets directly into the washing machine, pour the laundry detergent, and press the start button of the washing machine and forget it.
The laundry detergent we usually use cannot remove the yellow stains on the sheets, so even if we wash them many times, there is still no way to clean them, and the sheets may be damaged.
In addition, in order to remove the dirt on the sheets, some friends will use some so-called super stain removal products or directly add 84 bleach solution when cleaning the sheets, and this cleaning method is also incorrect.
If you add bleaching ingredients when washing the sheets, not only will there be no way to clean the sheets, but it may cause the sheets to turn yellow.
The fourth reason is mites and other problems.
If mites appear on the sheets, it will not only cause the sheets to appear yellow and dirty, but also affect our skin, which is prone to itching and redness.
Therefore, when washing the sheets, it is not only necessary to clean the dirt on the sheets, but also to fill the sheets, and it is best to expose the washed sheets to the sun to kill the remaining mites and bacteria on the sheets through ultraviolet rays.

Friends who have used explosive salt know that the cleaning effect of explosive salt will be better, and it will not cause damage to the bed sheet itself, and it has a certain disinfection and sterilization function, which can clean up the remaining mites and bacteria on the bed sheet.
White vinegar is added because white vinegar itself has a certain softening effect and can help soften the fibers of the sheets.
