They revealed that if you keep your sheets in the bathroom (or even next to it) - you need to stop it immediately.
Many people believe that linens and towels should be stored in bathroom closets - but this is "the worst thing you can do," the experts said, adding: "The closet there can be extremely humid, causing mold and/or mildew to grow if the linens are left there for long periods."

Is the correct method for changing the bedding is when they are still wet after washing?
In addition, the next time you wash your sheets, you should wash them in a specific way to ensure that they are hygienic before they even reach the closet where you keep them.
"You should always wash the sheets in a hot wash of 60 degrees, so that all the sweat, dust and other nasty bacteria will be killed," they recommended.

The full list of tips for properly washing the linens
1. Read the label on the bedding so that you can direct the washing machine according to the type of fabric.
2. Treat the stains first before washing.
Wash blood stains with cold water.
3. Choose the correct temperature and spin speed based on the label, and adjust according to the degree of dirt on the bedding.
For example, using a high spin speed of 800 rpm combined with hot water temperature will do wonders for removing body oil stains from bedding. If there are no kishm stains, modern detergents can do a decent job even in cold water, causing less wear and tear.
4. Do not overload the machine, linens need room to move in the drum to be cleaned.
5. Do not use softener sheets or laundry detergent because they damage the fabric.
6. On the other hand, dryer softener balls are great to prevent the sheets from tangling themselves while drying.
7. If it is possible - hang the sheets to air dry outside every now and then.
The sunlight helps them in the disinfection process and will leave a fresh smell if there are no environmental hazards in the area.
8. Iron the sheets to kill the last bacteria and dust mite remnants that may have survived the washing process.
