Why You Should Wash Your Bed Linen Before Using It (Yes, Even the Fancy Ones)

Ah, the joy of brand-new bed sheets. So crisp. So clean-looking. So folded by angels in that nice bag! You bring them home, rip off the packaging like it’s Christmas morning, and your bed is about to glow like a Pinterest board.

BUT WAIT. HOLD THAT FLUFFY PILLOW.

Before you jump into your fresh cotton cloud, there’s something important you should know:

🧼 You have to wash those sheets first. Seriously.

I know, I know. They look clean. They smell like a department store. But they’ve been on a journey, and not the soul-searching kind. We’re talking factories, warehouses, trucks, shelves, and about 27 different people touching them with their “I’m-just-doing-my-job” hands.

New bed linens are often treated with things like “Starch” to keep them wrinkle-free in the store, but your skin? Yeah, it’s not a fan of starch!!!

Even if they were never touched by bare hands, there’s a chance your sheets have collected mystery specks along their packaging parade. Washing them gives you peace of mind and fewer sneezes.

You deserve sheets that smell like lavender, not warehouse. Sheets that feel like sunshine, not starch. Sheets that say, “You’re a majestic being who deserves softness.”

The Good News?

One wash is all it takes! Toss ’em in the washer, add your fave detergent (bonus points for one that smells like dreams), dry, and boom—your bed is now a cozy, safe, clean haven of glory.

Wash ‘em. Love ‘em. Sleep like the champion napper you are. 😴🌸✨
