Linen Home Care Instructions

Bed linens come in lots of colors, designs, fabrics, thread counts and prices. This range of product
effects the care needed to wash bed linens. It's important to wash linens properly in order to maintain
the color and quality of the fabric. When you purchase the linens for your dorm room, be sure to check
the washing instructions before you clean them. Most manufacturers will provide you with specific
instructions for washing and drying your bed linens.

When you get your new linens back to your dorm room, take the washing instructions out of the
package and put them in a safe place. If the instructions are on the linen tags, remove the tags and save
them for later use. You might want to keep the instructions with all of your other washing products.

If you accidentally misplace your instructions, the following tips will help you when it comes time to
launder your bed linens. Wash your sheets and pillowcases on a cool or warm water temperature. Set
the washing machine to a gentle cycle. Add a small amount of liquid laundry detergent. If necessary,
put your sheets through a second rinse cycle to remove any excess detergent from them. Stay away
from using any bleach products on your sheets. This chemical can quickly damage the fibers of the
fabric.

When drying your sheets, place them in the dryer at a medium heat temperature. Take your sheets
out of the dryer as soon as the cycle is complete. If you leave your sheets in the dryer too long, they
will develop lots of wrinkles. If you have accidentally left them in the dryer too long, you can quickly
remove the wrinkles with a damp cloth. Place the damp cloth into the dryer and turn the machine back
on for about ten minutes. Fold your sheets and if you like them particularly flat, iron them.

Summer is halfway over. Soon, you're going to be starting college for real and playing a college sport for which a coach actually recruited you. Let's assume the sport is baseball. Let's further assume that you haven't been recruited to play at the University of Miami, Stanford, the University of Virginia or the winner of this year's College World Series . You're an above-average player and, according to the slots available and probabilities, you're probably in a NCAA Division III program. (Even if you're in a fairly big time Division I program, you might want to finish reading this article. A significant number of you guys get tired of being bench jockeys and transfer to D III's for playing time and the ability to be a stud player in a small pond.) Status Check - What the NCAA Calls You The NCAA refers to you as a " student athlete " in all its many publications, forms, notifications and rulebooks. The term is never ...

Adjustable Split King Beds: 2 Twin Extra-Long Size Beds Combined

On the surface, the answer to "What is a split king mattress?" may seem quite simple -- but there are several different types of split king beds to choose from. No matter what your budget or your particular circumstances, there is a split king that will suit you just perfectly. Why Are Split Kings Made?   A split king is made as a solution for comfortable sleeping for a couple. The bed is divided into two sections so that each person has their own customized side of the bed. This would allow for one person to have a firm mattress while the other person has a soft one, or for one person to have an electric blanket while the other one can sleep blissfully in the chilly night air that they prefer. Sometimes a split king is made for people with medical issues so that the person needing specific medical bedding -- like a bed that sits up and reclines automatically for example -- can have it on their own side but not on the side of the person who is not in need...
