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.

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.

This is probably pretty silly, but I've just discovered Downy. My mom always used dryer sheets growing up, so I never knew what "Downy soft" was. Well, now I do. I can't even believe it.... it works much better than dryer sheets. Sheets and towels come out so much softer, it is quite amazing. I prefer the non-smelly type of Downy that has no dyes or fragrances.
And it's okay if you have an older washing machine because you can put the Downy in this ball thing that dispenses it at the right time. The ball cost all of $1.42 at Target!
I washed my favorite 600 Stripe Egyptian Cotton sheets with Downy... they were already great and some of my favorite, but they came out better than ever!
