Bedding for the Dorm

September is fast approaching and it's time to think of bedding for the Dorm. Sheet sets now come in Twin Extra Long as well as the regular length in Egyptian cotton. Egyptian cotton washes well and is very soft and silky to sleep on, so is a good choice for the Dorm bed. A bed in a bag is another good choice for your dorm room as the colors are nice and will add a cheery touch to your room away from home. A bed in a bag comes with an alternate down comforter the whole set is easy wash and dry. Add a couple of wild pillow shams and you are all set to start to get back to your studies.

3 uses for Sateen for your decorating

3 uses for Sateen in your decorating adventures:
1. Many draperies come in a Sateen weave, usually called damask in heavier fabrics and sateen stripe in the lighter fabrics.

2. Bedding uses Sateen and damask weaves in sheets and pillowcases, duvet covers, pillow shams, comforter covers, and bed skirts.

3. Furnishings often have sateen or damask covering on couches, chairs, cushions for decor, tablecloths,and table runners.

Using these different weights and textures can add some real class and beauty to your decor'. If you can't find a big enough tablecloth set a sateen sheet and trim it down to fit the table and rehem it.

Washing Instructions for Egyptian Cotton Bedding

Since my last blog on bedding for the Dorm, I felt it was only fitting to make up a washing instruction sheet for the care of your Egyptian cotton sheets and duvet covers etc.
1. Wash Your Egyptian cotton sheets and pillowcases once a week.
2. Use an Eco friendly detergent,most stores carry a line of nice Green Products.
3. Wash the sheets and pillowcases in one load, you can add the duvet cover and pillow shams also.
4. Use Warm water for the first 2 or 3 washings to insure they don't shrink too much. But after that I would use hot water to kill any dust mites or bugs that may get in your bed.
5. Rinse with cold water.
6. Give the sheets and pillowcases a good shake when you remove them from the washer and put into the dryer, dry on the gentle cycle and fold as soon as they are removed from the dryer. It keeps them smooth.

Your sheets will stay beautiful for years.
