I’ve done exactly the same thing (white sheets, white bath towels and mats, white kitchen linens) for many years and I swear by it.
Thanks for this. I've never had white sheets. Always colored sheets and towels. Recently, I've been buying white sheets and towels. My home feel so happy and clean. I never thought I would be opened to it, but I'm in love so much I've also painted my entire apartment bright white. WOW, I've been missing out! :-))
I have a clothes line and love the smell of "sunshine".
Wish I could have a clothesline. Our HOA doesn’t approve. 😞
@@mimistans7715 I am sorry for your situation. 😥
Had one but a new neighbor likes to burn his leaves all the time! So haven’t line dried in a while.
@@sandygentry8455 that's a shame. Perhaps others can use his leaves for compost.
Had one at our old house. Need to put one at our new home. Definitely peaceful, clean, and refreshing!
I love white sheets too! I was just telling my son about how when I was growing up we did not have a dryer and our laundry day included line drying. Lots of work as a kid. But to this day, I can still remember the wonderful smell of fresh aired dried sheets! xoxo
Martha Carrillo Me too! Miss that smell!
Oh me too! The smell of line dried sheets 🥰
Oh my, it does smell good! Here in Portugal most people do not own a dryer. Everyone hangs their laundry to dry out on foldout racks.
I think we will be getting a dryer just for the sheets - they are so big!
@@vibrantly50 that’s still true in many places ( Germany, France, Italy, the Czech Republic, etc) and it’s frowned upon to admit one uses a dryer ( how wasteful! It’s so harmful for the environment! In Germany, especially, where they are outspoken about such things). I appreciated the perspective and am putting in a clothesline again.
I love white sheets and I never really thought about looking for them at the thrift store! Great tip! Thank you for that.
Can you tell that I’m binge watching you? Lol. I’m so behind.
Oh I just love your videos!!!!
Thank you for the whitening instructions!
Wow, that’s really interesting about how the old top loading machines worked.
I might just start buying white sheets!!! You have me convinced lol
And you are right! Nothing like sheets, bedding, dried on a wash line and smelling like sunshine!!!!!!
I have always loved thrifted white sheets especially with vintage edges! Your bed is beautiful! Love the layered bed skirts.
Love the smell of fresh sheets after they have been hung out on the line!
White is my favorite but I’ve always been afraid to use, thanks for the advice!
I love white bedding and curtains and towels/washcloths, simply because they look fresh and clean and the ways to wash them are to use bleach, or a mixture of white vinegar/lemons/baking soda, and to dry them hanging them in the sunlight helps bleach/whiten them. I love that aspect of white linens. However for everything else (especially for clothing) I'm definitely a black lover. Black clothing in general is easy to take care of and I feel like it lasts longer it doesn't show wrinkles, doesn't stain (unless if you bleach it) and even after you do accidentally bleach them you can buy at home laundry machine dyes and just re dye your black clothing and other fabrics.
I am new to the white sheets and towels world and have not regretted it a single day.... thank you for the helpful tips Sarah💕
I love white sheets. Easy to care for.
I just found your page and omg I love everything you do !!! I’m literally watching all your videos . Great ideas !!
I agree 100%!! I've always loved white sheets, quilts, linens. It just feels clean when you can "see" clean crisp white linens. Sure wish I had a clothesline..lots of childhood memories though of taking the laundry off for my mom! It always smelled sooo nice..you're right like sunshine!
That’s all I’ve ever used! I couldn’t agree more!
I love my clothes line. We use white cloth napkins and they always come out beautifully white!!
Cin
Same! I only buy old or Percale white sheets. I Love old-fashioned crisp, cool white sheets 🤗
I totally agree! All my bedding and sheets are white. I also have found some very good sheets at thrift stores. There is something so relaxing getting into an all white bed for a good night’s sleep!
Why can't we hit the notification bell? I miss so many of these videos without it.
I think it's because it's been rated for kids content.
Unsubscribe and the re-subscribe. It should let you change the notification status then.
Yes, Becky is right! If you unsubscribe and re-subscribe you should be able to get notifications! It's a glitch from when we previously marked a video as "made for children", when it was in fact, just our regular content. Lesson learned!
@@SheHoldsDearly thank you!
Since 2007, I only buy white cotton sheets and bath towels because it would remind me of being on vacation 😭. Now am 36, married with a toddler I continue to use white sheets and bath towels 😅
When my daughter was in her last year of highschool, she loved white. Had a white hoodie, white pants, by graduation she found the love of her life, and married him a few years later. But his dream was to become a heavy duty mechanic and open his own business. Her white clothes have been replaced with black, navy and dark gray. Her bath towels, kitchen towels, and bedding are black, navy and dark grey. They have a little girl now, all pinks, whites, and frilly girly clothes, and the occasional large dirty hand print from daddy. How can my daughter ever get her love of white back into her life? And still keep the other love of her life. Does Oxyclean work on oil and grease?
ajajajjajajaj....as a daughter of a deisel mechanic....your grandbaby could care less about white anything....her daddy is what matters and she will want to smell the oil and grease as she gets older and leaves her parents home because that is what a cozy and happy home will be to her....I know that for a fact!!
😂
Thank you so much for ALL the tips. And thank you so much for the thrifting checklist 💞
My mother used to hang the sheets out on the line all year long. In the winter she would bring them in when they were FROZEN. But crazy as that may seem the sheets smelled so fresh and clean. I don’t have room outside to do that but it is a memory that has stayed with me to this day. So smelling like sunshine? Yesssss.
yep yep yep! and white towels and sofa too. you can change everything with those basics.
How funny that I stumbled across your channel and this video in particular. I have been thinking for a while about getting all white sheets. This has persuaded me. Thank you 😊
I love our white sheets - it feels like a wee bit of luxury to get into a clean fresh bed made up with crisp white sheets!
I second that! I donated all of my colored sheets last year and only have three sets of high quality white sheets now (two for the master bedroom and one for the guest room). Your bedroom is gorgeous by the way.
We just started buying all white sheets!! They are so much more relaxing! Thank you for the cleaning tips!! I wish we had a utility sink but I'm def going to try soaking in my washing machine with that white revive!
Don't know if it's a south asian thing but we tend to wash clothes by hand quite often, so a larger bucket comes in handy for soaking sheets.
you got me into looking for white sheets!🥰
I learned something new! Thanks!
I wish I could have a clothes line, I love crisp towels & sheets dried on the line. I agree with you about the front load washers not cleaning as well, I currently have one & when it’s time to replace I’m going back to the agitator. I’m going to start looking for white sheets at the thrift store.
White bath and bed linens lover right here. Amen and hallelujah for clotheslines. I never thought I'd miss hanging out the laundry but I do. I looked on amazon and came across a collapsible version that might be the best I can get for my space. TH-cam put this video in my feed, so I watched lol 🤭
Love that collapsible clothes-lines are a thing for people with more limited space!
Great information, thanks for sharing
Yes, you are right about white! And....your hair is adorable. ☺
Thanks for this info! Also I love your blouse!!
I recently picked up a set (I think) of twin white sheets for our spare bedroom at a local thrift shoppe for a few dollars and I love them on the bed. Thank you for your dunking tips 😊, I am now planning to get some Oxiclean. I also love hanging out our sheets to dry and putting them right back on the bed - it’s perfection ❤️ I’ll be on the look out now for more for our Queen bed!
I agree! And same goes for towels! Only white!
Great tips!🌷
Great idea White sheet's I m going to buy them, and White towels. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I bought white sheets yesterday! Brightened the room. Looks very posh.
I only buy 750-1000 count sheets. They last our household at least 10 years or more! Well worth the discounted price that I pay at Winner's/Home Sense (Canadian stores). And I use Borax on sheets and towels every time I wash, works great. Occasionally use bleach when needed. I would dearly love to hang sheet's outside!!
Cotton heets should last a lifetime. I still have some of my mother's from the Fifties.
Very informative and helpful, think you're converting me haha. Gonna start looking for white sheets and vintage sheets. ☺️👍
I'm a thrifter too and I love the idea of not having to buy sets of sheets. This is a great idea!
8 kids here! White everything :) white sheets, white bath towels. Love love love.
We hang washing on the line all year round despite the most awful weather in the world I imagine. Haven't used my tumble drier more than a couple of times in ten years.
I love white sheets because its easy for me to see when they need to be washed again. I find myself washing them more often and I think that's much healthier for us than sleeping on our own old skin cells for weeks on end. Its easy to forget about when you have dark sheets
I wash mine every 2 weeks ... also it helps me keep my washing hygiene real great :) I don’t get them yellowing anyways :)
I have expensive bedding made from linen :) I use a gentle detergent and air dry them.
Really helpful video - thank you so much. I, too, like my whites whiter than white, but never quite knew how. Will be giving it a go. Have subscribed. Best wishes from England. Lottie
I always have wanted a clothes line!! We had one when I was kid growing up!!
I got your check list downloaded!! 🥰
I installed an indoor clothesline in my laundry room
Organic sheets here! So natural, undyed is fine with us.
I love our white sheets. I never thought of looking for sheets at thrift stores... that would save a ton of money!
I wouldn't have anything but a top loading machine, clothes get so much cleaner! Oxyclean is fantastic! I got cut really bad and bled all over my bathroom towels, rug, cloth makeup bag and my clothes. Had to go to the hospital for stitches. Didn't get to clean up the bloody things until the next day. Put everything in the washing machine with Oxyclean, let them soak about a couple of hours, even the makeup bag then washed them and there was no trace of the blood. I agree with hanging things on the line outside, everything smells so fresh! So sorry I sounded like an Oxyclean commercial I just love the stuff. A little tip for the utility sink, after I fill it with the hottest water I can I have a plunger I only use for sheets and things I need to whiten, saves your hands!
Thanks for all your great advice and God Bless You!
Never thought of white sheets only! That’s what I’ll do now. I recently bought a Speed Queen washer and hadn’t realized my clothes weren’t getting clean!
I miss the clothesline at my old house. The neighborhood we moved to 20 years ago frowns upon a clothesline. 😞
Yay great video, I have always used white, my children are grown now but we still use white I use a small amount of bleach AND oxy I have a top loader it’s a work horse 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💕🇺🇸. Something really great and relaxing about the feel of a pretty white sheet 🤗
I have allergies and need to bleach and then double rinse after that. I love the simplicity of them. White is country elegant.
I love love love white sheets.
My grandma and my mom always used white sheets and they where washing them with baking soda and white bar of soap( use turkish one Haçı şakir - only the white one). I also use baking soda for my sheets and they always come out very soft and fresh smelling and white.
How much baking soda
I have a Samsung front loader and it has a. "Whites" setting and it works.wondefully. I don't like bleach either an I use White Out on my sheets, towels, socks and undies. It is amazing!
I love to sleep on sheets dried in the sun, I do throw them in the dryer for 5/10 min which makes them softer, I do the same for towels.
White I can't sleep unless white! Also good for curtains furniture throws table clothes. Great for kids tents and recently face masks 3 layers .
White sheets and white towels for my home!
Thank you so much for sharing your ideas, I love white but don’t like bleach so I have few white sheets and towels for my guests , I live in the country and have cats and dogs but now knowing how to wash them will be buying more for regular use
You are so welcome!
I prefer all white bath towels as well. Hot water, soap and bleach . I am not a fan of thrifted sheets but will occasionally thrift pillow cases. I love Mrs. Meyers too.
I only have white sheers too! In fact all my living room furniture is white slipcovered.
somewhere along the way, I fancied deep navy blue or silver greay sheets and bedding.... I never went back... don't need to bleach out sheets to get them clean. I do like the look of white, but I don't like the idea that a bed or its sheets are 'dirty' because they are colored.
I love your channel...Just wanted to tell you that.
Oh thank you!
That's funny that you and everyone is pro-white linens, and anti bleach... Because I've started switching to white linens BECAUSE I'm using bleach + to kill germs in the wash - and my colors are fading. But white doesn't fade!
However, my white kitchen rags are turning gray... So I don't know if I'm doing it wrong, or if I should actually be using gray because my kids are just that messy.
I learned from a hotel worker to wash whites in cold or cool for the first wash without bleach and then hot with bleach for the second wash and that seems to remove stains better instead of any stains getting set in. Of course they have to use bleach in the hotel but I do this with baby oxyclean and it works for us. We have 5 kids (11 and under) and all white sheets. I wash their sheets twice a month and the pillowcase weekly. In the summer their feet are black but the sheets still look good!
Great tip, thank you!
I live in Toronto. I have found when I leave sheets and towels to dry outside they get all hard and rough. How do you soften them up again? Do you have this problem. We have very hard water.
New Subscriber here... love your content
Welcome!
Interesting! Thank you for this! Does it have to be that oxi clean or do the other kinds work too?
I've found this "White Revive Oxiclean" works the best for this purpose!
I only buy white sheets and towels as well, but it's because I bleach them. No septic system here, and throwing a little bleach in has a fresh scent I love. :):)
Newbie here! Isn't that teacup a Lochs of Scotland? I collect that.💙💙💙
Husband got rid of the front load washing machine, the clothes never came out clean in his opinion. Just purchased oxy clean for the whites!!
I just bought a new washer and almost went for front load... all my friends told me the same thing as your husband. It's not as clean as a regular washer! So I got good ol'top load.
I have a front load washer an I love it! My laundry is always so clean an smell so good. I will never go back to top load it didn’t clean my cloths. I can even wash my horse blankets in my front load washer an they come out so clean an smell so good.
I love the smell of bleach washed sheets hanged outside.
I won't buy a front loader. I have a top loader,but prefer and old wringer washer to let it go as long as I want.
My front loader gets my clothes really clean and most importantly it doesn’t rip them up like the blades in my old top loader did. It all depends on the brand and the quality. I have a newer LG washer and dryer. I also always wash for the longest possible length of time setting, because that’s what gets your clothes cleaner.
I was hoping you would show more of your decor in your rooms while you were talking about incorporating whites in any rooms.
This video was more specifically about our bedrooms, so I didn't share from the other rooms of the house. But if you're wanting to see the bathroom linens, for example, you can check out this blog post :sheholdsdearly.com/farmhouse-bathroom-reveal/
You had me sold until you told me how you wash them. I give you lots of credit though!
I love my cloth lines , and front washers are a waste of time and money , I actually have a old ringer washer I soak my sheets in and wash them ,
So funny this came up!! I’m looking for white sheets rn!! I just returned a small fortune worth of linen sheets . Not for us... I’m looking for a light , soft, buttery pair of white sheets ! I don’t have time to thrift rn because of Covid. Can u give me a recommendation for a set of king size white sheets ? Thank you !! And love your channel , new follower here!
I love the feel of percale. For summer, my microfiber sheets feel like light silk scarves.
I want to buy white percale bedding. But I have expensive linen bedding and I loooooove linen :)
I get claustrophobic in colored sheets....I just feel uncomfortable! I’ve only used white sheets for 30 years....
Can I ask where your rugs are from?? You have such lovely rugs in the home!
I love this! Thank you!
💯 white - bamboo sheets and flax linen covers here.
I tried stricture bamboo bedding but they heated me up soooo bad felt like I was sleeping in polyester even though they feel so soft. Currently sleeping in all white linen bedding. Fitted sheet pillowcases and cover :) love it! So comfy and cosy
Really want a percale set though
@@Ohkeh640 was it 100% bamboo? A lot are blended with polyester. Strange as bamboo literally is designed to cool you down. It’s one of its properties.
I disagree with the old top loaders, the agitator is too hard on fabric over time. I’ve had front loader then the old top loader than back to the new top loader w/o agitater and it’s like night and day. Oxi clean really does help with whites! Also as a guest, I prefer white sheets because I can “see” they are clean😂
I’m team front loader! I got a front loader in the first place because the agitator blades literally cut holes in my clothes and sheets!
Thanks very much. I have cream drapes that got wet downstairs while waiting for the laundry and they got black mould. I tried vinegar in the wash water, I tried bleach in the wash and still no luck getting out the grey stain from the cream. What do you recommend?
I'd try a _soak_ with the oxiclean white revive, a regular wash through the machine, and then LOTS of natural sun while it dries. And instead of hanging it up to dry, I'd lay it out flat across some chairs, or laid on the grass so that it gets full sun for as much of the day as you have a place for it. You can also try squirting lemon juice on them while they're still wet before they go out into the sun. I hope you have some success!
Agree . Egyptian cotton white sheets and pillow cases for me. Sarah, quick question, do you include quilt covers in this white ‘bedsheets’ recommendation?
Our current duvet happens to be white, but that hasn't always been the case! And my children have different colors on their beds. But white sheets for the base. :)
She Holds Dearly thanks Sarah. Have a great weekend.
I also love to buy white sheets when thrifting. Here's a tip for any blood stains ( when ya' have kids...it happens). I use hydrogen peroxide on a q-tip to pre treat and also put a bit in the wash and it ges rid of them!
Thank you for sharing!
I love white white white white all day everyday white, 95% of my home is white did i mention I love white Lol
I have white bedding made from linen which I adore. I want to find some nice cotton or cotton percale linen but they say not to use bleach or detergent with optical brighteners
But I love my expensive white bed linen he he
I bet it's luxurious! :)
Hi Dear Sarah. I'm sorry I can't find your thrifting list link. Could you help me? LUV your channel
Check now, I just added it. Thanks for letting me know! xoxo
I love your headboard!!! Where did You get it? If you want to share 👍🏻
This is our bed : rstyle.me/+SdtP5QNnOCiGsB1o4CINCA
It's actually on sale right now, too! :D
I can see your logic in this choice but I personally hate white. Now off white/ecru/ivory/etc I love. I had my color analyzed years ago and I'm an Autumn and decorate using my color palette which doesn't include pure white.
Also, if you find really grungy bedding you can do a strip and or a deep clean to bring back original color. The strip removes hard water deposits, product buildup, etc, then the deep clean removes body odors, oils, and stains that may remain. It's a great way to get towels, bedding and even clothing fluffy, soft, stain free, and presentable again. Look up laundry love and science.
My husband turns all white sheets and duvet covers brown - despite bathing before bed. Is there any way to get them white again? I've tried bleaching and I've tried oxyclean soaking...
I would apply a good dish soap before putting it in the washing machine. Works in our household.
I'll try that - thanks!
Just be careful to only use a _small_ amount if any, dish soap in the washing machine - otherwise you could inadvertently create a giant bubble mess. :(
Are you able to line dry your items to see if the sun can help bleach them back to white?
I grew up with white sheets so I find them boring! Don’t hate me but I like a color or pattern. You’ve given me food for thought though.
I use my white sheets to clean my washing machine too. Give that shit a boil.
I haven't been able to find the tutorial where you turn drop cloths into curtains. Can you help?
Hi Sharon!
Here's the post about it!
sheholdsdearly.com/farmhouse-drop-cloth-curtains/
@@SheHoldsDearly Thank you Sooooo much!!!!
I also have kids.... they come in from working out on their cars and whipe their hands on them.... any suggestions?
Let them do the laundry.
Hi Nancy! Do you have a utility sink at all? If so, I'd get either a stock of shop towels, or disposable towels and have those near the utility sink with some good de-greaser soap and ask that all preliminary hand washing after the garage is done there! If you don't have a sink, maybe set up a small hand washing station by a hose outdoors (at least for the summer!).
What if you use self - tanner ?
I've found this method does a great job removing any self-tanner from the sheets!
