Selection Tips
In addition to the size of bed linen, attention should be paid to other points.
- Package. Firstly, it is there that all the necessary information about the product is written. Having read it carefully, you can understand whether it is a 2-bed bed or a single bed. Secondly, neat and stylish packaging indicates that the brand treats its customers with respect and pays a lot of attention to detail. This means that the products he produces are of high quality.
- The density of the fabric. This parameter is one of the main indicators of quality. The higher the density, the longer the product will last.
- Features of tailoring. All items included in the kit must be sewn from a single piece of fabric, and not from separate parts. Attention must also be paid to the seam. It should be smooth and neat. There should be no protruding threads on the turn.
- Smell. High-quality terry linen has a slight smell of new textiles. If it smells unpleasant, it means there is a lot of "chemistry" in its composition. Poor laundry will shed over time, stain the skin, or even cause an allergic reaction. If the fabric smells like mold, then it was not properly transported or stored. It is better not to buy such a kit, because it will not last long.
- Colour. To determine how high-quality dye has been used in the production of warm underwear, you can simply rub it gently with your fingers. If a colored spot remains on your hand, it is best to refuse to buy a kit.
- Features of terry yarn. There are 4 main types of it: single, combed, double and twisted. The best option for bed linen is double yarn. It is soft, dense and retains its visual appeal for a long time. It is also worth paying attention to the twisted terry - it does not deteriorate from washing and remains pleasant to the touch for a long time.
The choice of pattern depends on the taste preferences of the buyer. The main thing is that the patterns are not blurry and indistinct, because this can also indicate the low quality of bed linen.
Care rules
In order for terry products to retain their attractiveness longer, you need to provide them with proper care.
- Laundry must be properly washed. The water temperature must be at least 60 degrees. It is best to wash your laundry separately from other items. This should be done by choosing a gentle spin mode.
- It is not recommended to iron terry items after washing. They just need to be gently shaken off and hung up to dry. In this case, the material will retain its softness and will not stretch.
- In order not to spoil the product, you must not pull out the "clues" that have appeared on it. This can lead to further unraveling of the canvas.
If you choose high-quality terry bedding and take proper care of it, it will last a long time and will always delight users with its pleasant appearance and quality.
