Let"s select a program
What factors should you consider when selecting a cleaning mode? It is advised to consider the type of fabric used for sewing, the color, and the level of contamination of the set when selecting a washing program for bed linens. You can use the "Cotton" or "Quick Cotton" washing settings for light cotton accessories (satin, chintz, jacquard, and calico) depending on how dirty they are.
The mode will be similar if bed linens are made from the same natural materials but are colored; however, the water heating temperature needs to be changed to 40 ° C. 3D, 5D, and 7D linen is fairly common these days. How should it be washed properly to maintain the pattern’s brightness? The "Cotton" or "Quick Cotton" programs are still the same, in actuality. The water should only be even colder—30 °C is the ideal temperature for heating.
A spin speed of no more than 800 to 1000 revolutions per minute is recommended.
The "Delicate wash" option should be used when washing silk or satin bedding. Special care is needed for such delicate fabrics. Cleaning synthetic linen can be accomplished with the "Synthetics" program. Additionally, since synthetic bedding is bad for human health, it is best to avoid using it.
Boiling 95°C
Mattress covers composed of natural materials (cotton, linen, etc.) can be cleaned with extremely hot water. These materials can be boiled to produce linen. The process for boiling bed linens was as follows a few years ago:
- the bottom of a large enamel pan was covered with white textiles;
- a soap solution was prepared;
- deep stains on the fabric were previously well "soaped";
- bedding was placed in a saucepan, filled with soapy water made in advance;
- the laundry was boiled on the stove for an hour. Periodically, it was necessary to stir the processed items.
And while the boiling process used to merely make housewives uncomfortable due to its labor-intensive nature, these days it’s very simple to treat items with water that has been heated to 95 °C. LG’s "Cotton" mode in washing machines presupposes that the water heating temperature can be raised to 95 °C. Thus, choose a program, set the temperature and spin speed with the buttons, and begin washing.
Before washing
You should sort the items into batches before adding any to the automatic washing machine. It’s crucial to abide by the fundamental guidelines for bed linen care if you want to wash multiple sets at once in the machine.
- The main rule applicable to washing any items is to sort the items by color before loading them into the drum. White items must be washed separately from colored ones. Otherwise, light fabric may be stained.
- If you have linen and silk underwear prepared for washing, you will not be able to wash them in one go. It is important to separate items depending on the type of fabric they are made of. The cleaning programs for linen and silk items will differ.
- A special powder for washing baby items should be selected. That is why baby clothes are grouped separately from adult ones.
- Monitor the weight of the laundry you put in the drum. Observe the maximum load requirements of the machine. If you cram too many items into the washing machine, the equipment simply will not be able to work due to the excess weight. On average, a cotton set (sheet, duvet cover and 2 pillowcases) weighs about 2 kg.
- Pillowcases and duvet covers must be turned inside out before loading into the drum.
- Before putting bed linen in the washing machine, carefully study the information on the product label. The manufacturer"s instructions for cleaning items must be strictly followed.
- Do not pack the drum too tightly. The set of accessories for sleeping is quite voluminous, so if the machine has a small drum – wash one set of bed linen at a time. The quality of washing directly depends on the filling of the drum. If too many things are stuffed into the machine, the machine may not have time to cope with the dirt in the allotted washing time.
It won’t be possible to ruin the bed linens when washing them if you adhere to the fundamental guidelines. Skilled sorting, accurately filling the washing machine drum, and gathering data regarding the kind of fabric used to sew bed linens will all accomplish their tasks. You’ll be astounded by how clean and fresh the accessories are when you take them out of the washing machine after washing.

With the correct settings, washing bed linens in your LG washing machine is simple. The right mode—"Cotton," "Mixed Fabric," or "Bedding"—will guarantee that your sheets and pillowcases are cleaned gently and efficiently.
Don’t forget to modify the water’s temperature according to the kind and shade of your bed linens. Cooler temperatures are preferable for delicate fabrics and colors, while higher temperatures are ideal for whites and heavily soiled items.
To preserve and prolong the life of your bedding, don’t forget to take the spin speed and detergent type into account. These easy tips will help you maintain clean, comfortable, and fresh bed linens for a restful night’s sleep.
It is recommended to use the "Cotton" or "Bedding" mode on an LG washing machine for washing bed linens. This mode offers a longer cycle with higher temperatures and more vigorous drum movements, ensuring a thorough clean while protecting the fabric.
