Storing home or yacht bed linens properly can help keep them fresh, organized, and ready for use. Here are some tips on how to store bed linens:
1. Clean Before Storing:
– Before storing bed linens, make sure they are clean. Wash and dry them according to the care instructions on the labels. This helps prevent any dirt or stains from setting and keeps the linens fresh.
2. Fold Neatly:
– Fold the bed linens neatly to avoid wrinkles. You can fold flat sheets and fitted sheets separately, and pillowcases can be folded and tucked inside the corresponding pillowcase for a tidy look.
3. Organize by Set:
– Keep the pieces of each bedding set together. For example, store the fitted sheet, flat sheet, and pillowcases for a specific set in one place. This makes it easy to find and use when needed.
4. Use Pillowcases for Storage:
– Store sheet sets inside one of the corresponding pillowcases. This keeps the set together and makes it easy to grab and use without searching for matching pieces.
5. Label or Identify:
– Consider labeling or identifying your bed linens. You can use tags, labels, or colored ribbons to differentiate between sizes or sets.
6. Choose a Suitable Storage Container:
– Use a clean, breathable container for storage. Avoid plastic bags or airtight containers, as they can trap moisture and lead to mildew. Instead, use fabric storage bags, pillowcases, or cotton storage bins. Try our bespoke linen storage bags for your linens each embroidered with a cabin or room ID for easy identification.
7. Keep in a Cool, Dry Place:
– Store your bed linens in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Excess humidity can promote mold and mildew growth.
8. Rotate Your Linens:
– To prevent linens from developing permanent creases, rotate them periodically. Take out stored linens and refold them differently every few months.
9. Avoid Overcrowding:
– Avoid over stuffing storage containers on board, as this can cause wrinkles and make it difficult to access your linens without disturbing the whole stack.
10. Check Periodically:
-Occasionally check your stored linens for any signs of moisture, pests, or mildew. If you notice any issues, remove and clean the affected items promptly.
11. Consider Vacuum Storage Bags (Optional):
– If you have limited storage space, vacuum storage bags can compress the bedding to save space. However, be cautious not to compress delicate or easily wrinkled linens too tightly.
By following these tips, you can keep your bed linens in good condition and make your bed beautifully and easily whenever you need them. Home & Yacht offer a variety of solutions for storing bed linen
We used Home & Yacht Linen and Interiors to help us design and fabricate some “high end” bespoke bedding for the master cabin. Philip and Danny had great ideas and so much experience in their field that it all came pretty easy. The delivery was on time and the owner was duly impressed with the quality and “the look”. I highly recommend this company!
