Tricks for washing your sheets without having to iron them

For many people, washing their bed sheets is a ritual that includes leaving them clean, but also wrinkle-free. Historically, the latter is done using an iron. Unfortunately, the iron is one of the most hated household appliances.

Well, the popular tricks, tips, and methods for washing sheets and leaving them crease-free are now going viral on social media. This is wonderful news for all those who hate ironing, but who still appreciate smooth sheets. Keep reading, as below, we’re going to break down all the tips for you.

1. Use baking soda in the wash: tricks for not ironing your sheets

According to popular opinion on social networks, when it comes to not having to iron your sheets, the key ingredient is adding baking soda to your wash. This natural ingredient contains antibacterial and deodorizing properties that are ideal for leaving your bedding clean.

Place your sheets in the washing machine as you normally would. Then, add two tablespoons of baking soda along with 100 ml of vinegar to enhance the disinfectant action. Of course, don’t forget to add your usual laundry detergent and select your regular wash cycle.

If you’re wondering whether you can use this trick to wash white and colored sheets alike, the answer is yes! These products won’t damage the fibers or the color. In fact, many people have replaced bleach with baking soda to whiten their sheets, since using bleach in excess, can damage the fabric.

NOTE: make sure you don’t put fabric softener in the washing machine! You won’t need it because vinegar acts in a similar way.

2. Add essential oil

Although the first step is essential to ensuring your sheets are clean, this second and most powerful viral trick will ensure your sheets are smooth and wrinkle-free.

This perfumed product is already available in specialized stores, but you can make your own with homemade ingredients. To make your own textile perfume with essential oils you’ll need the following ingredients:

• White vinegar (1 cup)
• Essential oil (scent of your choice)
• Fabric softener
• Spray container
• Water (half a liter)

Step-by-step guide

• Open your spray container and pour in all of the ingredients.
• Mix well.
• Check the aroma, if it smells of vinegar, add a few more drops of essential oil.
• Once dry, stretch the sheets out flat.
• Spray the product on the sheets without making them too wet.
• Let it dry for five minutes.

That’s it! Not only will you have clean, smooth sheets, but gorgeous-smelling bedding too.

NOTE: although the idea is to have a fragrant smell, don’t overuse this product. This is because oil and grease from the essential oil can stain sheets.

3. Another fragrant option

If you don’t have the ingredients that we mentioned before, there’s another, easier way to make a homemade textile perfume. You’ll need the following ingredients:

• White vinegar (100 ml)
• Hot water
• Glycerin soap
• Spray container

Step-by-step guide

• Thoroughly mix the hot water and soap in a bowl.
• Add the white vinegar and let it sit for a few minutes.
• Place this mixture in the spray container.
• Lay the sheets out on a flat surface and spray the product on the sheets without making them too wet.
• Let it dry for five minutes.

That’s it! You can forget about ironing your sheets and just enjoy your wrinkle-free bedding.
