Dear Linen Doctor, “I want to invest in some new sheets, but wonder how long can I expect them to last?
I think you’ll find that an investment in fine linens will pay dividends night after night after night!
With proper care, your fine bed linens can last for many years. In order to assure the long life of your bed linens, it is best to alternate the use of each set on a weekly basis. Three sets of sheets for each bed is a good guideline to follow - one on the bed, one in the wash, one in the closet.
In between each use, launder and store your linens in a well-ventilated space. For best results when laundering, use a non-chlorine bleach and gentle liquid detergent. Wash on a gentle cycle with warm water. Line dry or tumble dry until slightly damp. Over-drying or drying on too hot a setting is the single biggest factor in reducing the life of your sheets.
