Sleeping between fresh, soft sheets made of natural materials is one of life’s small great pleasures. At Aiguavista, we believe that caring for your sheets is a gesture of self-love and a connection to everyday life. Our sheets are made from noble fabrics like organic linen, lyocell linen, and hemp, and dyed in unique colors inspired by the light and calm of the Mediterranean. For this reason, their care deserves attention, tenderness, and simplicity. Here, we share how to keep them perfect with practical and sustainable tips.
A Care Ritual for Rest
How often you change your sheets can directly affect the quality of your sleep. Ideally, they should be washed every one to two weeks. In warmer months or if you suffer from allergies, you may need to wash them more frequently. How often sheets should be changed also depends on usage: if you share your bed with a pet or sweat a lot at night, a weekly wash is recommended.
The Perfect Temperature to Maintain Softness and Color
One of the most common questions is: at what temperature should sheets be washed? The answer depends on the type of fabric and the level of dirt. For Aiguavista sheets, made with natural fibers, we recommend washing them between 30 °C and 40 °C. This temperature is sufficient for effective cleaning, preserves the texture of the fabrics, and respects the unique colors of our Mediterranean-inspired palette.
Avoid very high temperatures, especially for sheets dyed with natural dyes. White sheets can occasionally be washed at 60 °C to disinfect them, but it’s not necessary for every wash. The temperature for washing sheets should always depend on the type of fabric. And if in doubt, always check the care label.
Treating Stains Gently: Cleaning that Respects the Fabric
Stains on sheets can appear without warning. Knowing how to remove blood stains is essential: use cold water and salt or hydrogen peroxide applied directly to the area. Avoid hot water, as it can set the stain.
Another common concern is how to remove yellowing from sheets, especially on white or natural fabrics. You can use baking soda mixed with lemon, or soak them in water with white vinegar before washing. This treatment is effective and gentle on the fibers.
And if you ever need to remove blood stains, remember to act as soon as possible: the fresher the stain, the easier it is to remove. Knowing how to remove blood stains from sheets is one of those simple skills that save your favorite pieces.
Caring for the Invisible: The Washing Cycle Matters Too
It’s not just about how you wash your sheets, but also which program you use. Which program should you use to wash sheets? Choose a delicate or cotton cycle with a gentle spin, especially if using linen or hemp fabrics. Use mild detergents, without artificial fragrances or harsh bleaches.
Yes, the washing temperature also affects the maintenance of natural fabrics’ properties: their drape, texture, and color. Washing white or colored sheets may vary, but it’s always better to choose mindful washing practices.
Natural Whiteness: Gentle Tricks that Work
If you have white sheets and wonder how to whiten them without damaging them, the key is to avoid harsh chemical products. Opt for natural remedies like baking soda or lemon juice with baking soda. Add them to the detergent drawer or dissolve in water for a prewash.
These methods are respectful not only to the fabrics but also to your skin and the environment. At Aiguavista, we prioritize cleaning that cares: for you, your home, and the planet.
For Tough Stains: Calm, Quick Action, and Natural Remedies
For unexpected situations, like removing blood stains, the key is speed and gentleness. Use cold water, mild soap, and avoid scrubbing vigorously. For yellow or persistent stains, vinegar or baking soda baths work wonderfully.
And if you’re wondering at what temperature to wash sheets, remember: less is more. Less heat means longer-lasting softness.
Sleeping Between Noble Fibers, Living Consciously
Caring for your sheets also means caring for the environment in which you rest. Our fabrics of organic linen, lyocell linen, and hemp not only breathe with your body—they connect you with nature. Keeping them clean and well-maintained is part of this circle of respect.
And don’t forget that in our bedding store you’ll find fitted sheets and top sheets for beds of 180, 160, 150, 140, and 90 cm, designed to make your bedroom a space full of calm, beauty, and sustainability.
