Home linen touches skin for hours every night, yet it is the first thing people put off washing. Here is a realistic rhythm, adjusted for a humid Mumbai-region home.
A simple schedule
These are general guidelines, not strict rules.
| Item | Wash roughly |
|---|---|
| Bedsheets and pillow covers | Every week or two |
| Blankets | Every month or two |
| Quilts and heavy bedding | A few times a year |
| Curtains | Two or three times a year |
Wash sooner if
- Someone has been ill or you have allergies
- You sleep with pets or eat in bed
- Bedding has been damp or smells musty
- Curtains face a busy road or kitchen
Why bulky items are different
Quilts and blankets are heavy when wet, slow to dry in humid weather and often too large for a home machine. Poorly dried bulk bedding develops a musty smell. That is where professional cleaning earns its price. See our rates for bedsheets, blankets and quilts and curtains.
Between washes
Air blankets and quilts in sunlight when you can, shake out curtains regularly, and store bedding fully dry with silica gel or neem leaves.
