To minimize wrinkles in your sheets, dry them separately from your other items and on the lowest heat setting. Remove them immediately from the dryer once they're done (this prevents the wrinkles from setting in) and fold the sheet on a flat surface, making sure to smooth and press the sheet flat with your hands as you fold.

Tip of the day: To keep your bed linens smelling fresh in your linen closet, place fabric softener sheets between the folds of your blankets, sheets and comforters.

To keep your bed cool and breathable during
summer, look for natural fabrics, such as cotton and silk. These fabrics
will naturally wick moisture away from your skin, keeping you cool
while you sleep. You'll want to avoid synthetic fabrics such as satin and polyester because they aren't as breathable.
In addition, you'll want to look for sheets that are lower in thread
count, like Echelon Home's Egyptian Percale sheets. They're a great choice for your
summer bedding because they are lightweight and crisp. Higher thread
count sheets have a tighter weave and tend to be heavier and less
breathable.

When washing and drying your bed sheets, avoid very hot temperatures. The high heat will weaken the fibers.

To keep your white bed linens looking bright and brand new, you should wash them separately from all other non-white items. And, using bleach is a big no-no! This will break down the fibers in the fabric and eventually cause your beautiful white linens to start to yellow. Instead, use a oxygen-based stain fighter to get rid of any stains.
