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.

Bedding Choices for the College Dorm

Are you planning to replace your old and worn bedding before heading back to college? I have some suggestions that might be fun for your away from home room.
For the Boys - Try a Black, Brown, Burgundy or Navy Blue 8 pce bed in a bag set or 4 pce comforter set. Team these up with some funky pillow shams.

For the Girls - Try a Pink, Taupe or Blue 4 pce comforter set and pick matching or contrasting color sheet set. Or a 8 pce bed in a bag set. Pillow Shams of many wild and wonderful colors can put a great touch to your bed.

Some Eco Facts on Bamboo Sheets !

Why Bamboo? Bamboo is a perfectly natural organic product and does not need any pesticides or other chemicals. It is naturally antibacterial and allergen free. Did you know that Bamboo stays cool in summer and warm in winter so is Heavenly to sleep on?
Don't worry bamboo shoots won't grow up through your body while you sleep! That only happens in King Kong Movies.......
As for the Environmentally conscious person you will be pleased to know that Bamboo is one of the world's fastest growing, greenest, and most renewable resources. Bamboo plants can grow up to a foot a day and because they grow so densely, a forest of Bamboo has about 40% more biomass than a Hardwood Forest, so can reduce about 40% more carbon than a Hardwood Forest.

Some Bamboo products have Egyptian Cotton mixed in to make it softer, stronger and more absorbent. Some cottons grown in North America are processed using pounds of chemicals, per pound of cotton, more than any other crop uses. Some of this ends up in our clothing and bedding etc. but most of it ends up the the Rivers and flows into the Gulf of Mexico's Dead Zone.
Eating Organically is great for the environment but our clothing, towels, sheets, and other textile processes probably have a harsher impact on our world.
Sleep peacefully on vegan/animal friendly Bamboo sheets from Sheer Heaven Luxury Bedding. Buy Now! before it's too late.

Why do Mountain Climbers wear Silk Underwear ?

The Mountain climbers that I have met tell me that silk is very warm and protects them better than a lot of other winter underwear. Also it is light and soft to the touch. Well you must try our Silk bedding and you will find that it is really warm in the winter and not the least bit clammy. In the summer it is cool and fresh to sleep in.
If you need to buy silk sheets and pillow cases or a silk comforter filled with silk, this is luxury you won't want to miss.

While on the subject of Gramma's Coverlette, I would like to add that after 100 plus years you must think the thing is just filthy. Not so Gramma put that sucker in the big galvanized tub and put it on the stove and boiled the heck out of it, then squeezed it out by twisting it, then hung it on the line for 5 days to dry.
Aren't we lucky today to have that wonderful washer dryer combo, we would have Gramma's coverlette washed and dryed in about an hour, and very sanitized I might add, no leaves or twigs stuck in it, and not to mention no risk of bird poo!!!
ps. See what happens when Gramma leaves her wash tub outside to cool - Really big problem........
