You are ready for the best sleep and suddenly, you feel uncomfortable because of the sheets that are rough. Even though you may have the perfect mattress, sleeping on soft sheets can disrupt your sleep.
But don't worry because a baking soda + vinegar trick will make them silky smooth. Now, this method does not apply to silk sheets, as they require special care. But if you have cotton, linen, flannel or polyester sheets, you can use it as a solution.
Here's how to do it:
1. Put the sheets in the washing machine and add 1 cup of baking soda to the detergent. Choose a lukewarm or hot water process. Do not throw away washing detergent.
2. Before the rinse cycle starts, change the water temperature to cold and add half a cup of vinegar. You should add the vinegar separately to the baking soda. Let the washing machine finish the washing process.
For convenience, you can put baking soda in place of detergent and vinegar in place of fabric softener, so they won't mix during the wash.
3. Honor the sheets and let them dry.
4. After they are dry, wash them again with normal detergent and softener.
