Separate by Color: Sort sheets into whites, light colors, and dark colors to prevent color bleeding.

Use Mild Detergent: Choose a gentle detergent suitable for your sheets to avoid irritation and maintain fabric quality.

Warm Water: Wash sheets in warm water to effectively remove body oils and dirt, unless cold water is recommended.

Gentle Cycle: Use a gentle or normal cycle on your washing machine to prevent damage to the fabric.

Avoid Overloading: Don't overcrowd the washing machine; this ensures thorough cleaning and rinsing.

Low Heat Drying: Preferably line dry to preserve fabric quality, or use a low heat setting in the dryer to prevent shrinking.
