How to keep your white bed sheets white?

 How do you stay your white bed sheets white? I LOVE white sheets. I snooze with them and have for years. Occasionally I change to a design or darker color, but mostly I always come back to them.

If you also love white sheets you’ll recognize that over time they start to yellow.

Why do they yellow? Well, it’s attractive obvious – sweat, body oils, makeup and not washing them every 7-10 days will turn them a funny color.

White Bed Sheets



Did you expect I’d recommend bleaching them? NO, do not bleach your white sheets or pillow covers. Bleach will whiten them for a time, but over time the bleach only adds to the yellowing. It will also reduce the life of your bedsheets.

So what should you apply for a usual cycle wash?

·         Baking soda

·         Vinegar

When washing your white bedsheets, add half a mug of baking soda with your detergent at the beginning of the wash cycle. Then, at the start of the clean cycle, flood in half a cup of white vinegar. Or if your washing machine has divide compartments for the flood, just add the vinegar in there at the beginning.


White Bedsheets

If you need a deep soaking session to really get rid of the yellow try:

·         1 cup vinegar

·         Lemon essential oil

·         2tbsp dishwashing liquid


After about an hour of soaking does a usual cool water machine wash? Then follow once more with the baking soda/vinegar wash above.

For a more whitening boost, hang your bedsheet to dry in the sun. Sunlight has likely bleaching capabilities plus they’ll smell amazingly fresh!

 There you go! Bet you’re off to revive your old bedding now.
