  • I've had lots of lovely messages about my tips on ironing a fitted sheet. So I thought I would share with you how I wash the sheets and hang them out. I am quite particular about how I do it, but it saves hours!
    So I'm going to share this little secret with you. Now I know it sounds ridiculous, but folding the washing as you strip the beds placing them neatly into the laundry basket saves a lot of creases! Trust me!

    I’ve tried this 2 times so far. It worked!🎉. It saved me so much time and aggravation. The sheets use to come out from the wash tied and twisted. It was aweful. Thanks for a great and useful tip

    I have an airbnb too, I wash my sheets after every guest every 1, 2 or 3 days. I dont' have time for all that hang drying, besides, the dryer leaves the sheets softer than air drying.

    Hi Charlie, thank you so much for this video! I've learnt so much today! How do you keep the bedsheets smelling nice and fresh? I find that as soon as I put them away, they don't smell fresh anymore. What do I do?x

    very smart how you use non bio for bedding. non bio cleans a lot more better on higher temps unlike bio which has enzymes that don’t survive high temps

    I’ll try your method to fold linen before washing, thank you. How many kg is your washing machine and how many kg is your laundry so that you’ll be able to use speed method? My washing machine is for 7kg, and it’s only recommended to use speed method when it’s less than 3.5 kg. Have you ever tried to wash 2 single duvet covers, 2 single fitted sheets and 2-4 pillow covers in one wash; but used the full program instead? I have never used speed method, because I thought it rinsed only once and not two. Please advise, thank you very much.

    • @ask.charlie
      @ask.charlie  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It depends on the type of machine you have as to the speed of the program.
      Yes I was 2 single sets of bedsheets in one wash

      You know, I was thinking just the same damn thing :) My wife left me and bla bla...So I'm stuck trying to figure out how to do this. I got the cooking thing down, except the baking, still working on that one. I just bought 100% linen sheets and pillow cases so this video helped but how do you launder a 100% Goose Down pillow? No feathers. ?

    Great demo. In a minute I will rearrange all my sheets. But your spoken delivery needs some attention. The volume of your talk varies, in and out. So dies tempo. So listen to your vlog several times and notice where you can improve it. Your audience will thank you.
