It's cold and damp outside, drying days are few, and the cost of water and electricity are at an all-time high. However, those beds still need changing. If you're thinking of turning down the washing machine temperature dial to save energy and costs, the question of what figure to set it at to ensure that your bedding is still hygienically clean may have raised its head.
And then, of course, there's the dilemma of the frequency of changing the sheets. Thankfully, Express.co.uk spoke to several laundry experts who revealed the best temperature to wash bedding, how often, and their thoughts on using a laundry cleanser.
Questions that raised the debate began on Facebook group, Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips. Asking whether 60 degrees Celsius was “the best wash to put bed clothes and sheets on”, replies flooded in. One person said: “I use 60 for bedding and towels. 30 for everything else.” Another agreed: “I put mine on 60 so they get really clean and it kills bacteria.” And a third said: “Always do 60 for bedding & towels.”
