Glowing bed linen

Any modern person approaches the choice of bed linen with special scrupulousness. And it's not only about safety and comfort during sleep, but also about the beauty of the duvet cover with pillowcases. The appearance and design of the bed linen creates a special atmosphere for relaxation. Today, luminous bedding is a fashionable trend. Someone might say that such underwear is ridiculous, but in fact it is ideal for adults and children who are afraid of the dark.

Luminous bed linen can be called a novelty of this season. The development of light elements occurs due to the addition of a small amount of phosphor to the dye composition, with which the image is applied to the fabric. In the daytime, it is impossible to see the glow of the bed linen, but when night falls and the lights in the house are turned off, adults and children can feel the extraordinary atmosphere of light illumination.

A modern person chooses luminous bedding not only because it looks spectacular. This underwear has many features. First of all, it is the composition. Manufacturers of textile products regularly carry out all kinds of experiments to create an attractive fabric format.

But the luminous bedding scares people a little. And this is not surprising, because today everything that is unique and unusual often turns out to be unhealthy. However, any bed linen after production undergoes accreditation, on the basis of which it receives a quality certificate, which indicates all the elements used in production. If any flaw has been identified, the products are not allowed for sale.

Another important feature of luminous bedding is ease of maintenance and storage.

Today on sale there is a wide variety of luminous sleeping sets for every taste and color. Both adults and children will be able to choose for themselves the most convenient and comfortable bedding that suits their interests. Adults tend to prefer solid color sets. And children and adolescents choose variations with space prints, movie characters, favorite characters of computer games.

When the topic of glowing bedding arises in a conversation, every adult has thoughts in his head about the fabric used in the production of sleeping items. And this is not surprising, because backlit bedding is something new, unusual, unique, and most importantly, little-known.

In the industrial environment, luminous tissue is called fluorescent or luminescent matter. This type of fabric has many differences. The difference is felt not only with tactile contact, but also in terms of appearance. In the daytime, an image made on bed linen looks like an ordinary picture, but in the dark at night, a luminous border begins to appear in the drawing, and some elements are emphasized.

The fluorescent material is of moderate density. Some claim that it has a lot in common with opaque organza. Traditionally, the front side is smooth and even. Even after many washes, it does not lose its shape, does not stretch. As for the color palette, silver, yellow, white or toxic green paint is most often applied to the fabric.

When using optical fiber, the finest threads are connected and fixed to each other using a special weaving machine. Polyester fibers are weaved in a standard plain way on the most common machine, after which the dyeing procedure takes place.

Further, it is proposed to understand in more detail what advantages and disadvantages a fluorescent fabric has. You should start with the pros:

• glow in the dark;
• strength;
• multifunctionality;
• wear resistance;
• resistance to sunlight;
• ease of care;
• lack of crease.

Now it is proposed to deal with the cons:

• high price;
• impressive weight;
• lack of hygroscopicity;
• accumulated static electricity.

To date, specialists from weaving factories are conducting many experiments, with the help of which they are trying to eliminate all the disadvantages of fluorescent fabric presented. They are also looking for other paint colors to create brighter bedding sets for children and adults.

We are all accustomed to the fact that colorful bright bedding is most often made for children and adolescents. But sometimes an adult also wants to slightly deviate from the traditional classics and use bedding, which, for example, depicts the night sky with the moon and stars. Such a landscape looks unique if the heavenly bodies are highlighted with silver or yellow paint. And also the variation of bed linen, made in the design "space", looks great. Along the linen of the duvet cover stretches the milky way, surrounded by small stars shining in the distance.

And yet, most of the luminous bedding designs are designed specifically for children and teenagers. For example, Sleeping sets featuring LOL dolls glowing in the dark are very popular among little girls. Boys will be delighted when on their duvet cover there will be a drawing of the dragon Toothless, preparing to break into the sky.

Well, for teenage gamers, the variations of glowing bedding are impossible to count. Of course, these are designer images of Counter-Strike moments. Pictures from the modern shooter PUBG are no less popular. And for novice gamers, several models of sleeping sets with images from the game Minecraft have been developed.

Having learned in detail about the features of luminous bedding, you need to understand the rules for caring for it. Someone might think that it is enough to load the bed linen into the drum of the washing machine and start the standard wash cycle. Unfortunately, this approach can lead to the disappearance of the glowing effect, because of which the bed linen will cease to fulfill its interesting function, namely: creating light in the dark. First of all, housewives need to remember several important rules.

• Bed linen must be turned inside out before sending it to the washing machine.
• It is extremely important to use only mild detergents for washing.
• Do not wash at an intensive mode. Glowing bedding should be washed with a delicate wash.
• After the delicate program has finished, it is necessary to remove the bed linen from the washing machine. Under no circumstances should you start an additional rinse.
• Dry fluorescent cloth away from sunlight. This material is not afraid of contact with ultraviolet light when it is dry. But if it is wet or damp, direct sunlight can harm the coloring composition, which will cause the image to fade or stop illuminating.
• Any hostess subjects bed linen to ironing. When heat treatment of the luminous set, set the lowest temperature on the iron. Iron the fluorescent fabric from the wrong side.

In addition to the rules presented, you should heed a few tips from housewives who have already purchased glowing underwear and even managed to ruin it.

• In no case should you add bleach or any other means to remove stubborn dirt.
• It is not recommended to store glowing bed linen folded several times. It is best to hang it on a hanger in your closet.
• If you need to get rid of heavy dirt, you should contact a professional dry cleaner, where experienced craftsmen will rid the fabric of different types of dirt.
