How do I choose the right bed linen for my bedroom?
When choosing bed linen, consider the material, thread count, and weave, as each contributes to the feel and durability. Cotton is popular for its breathability, while microfiber is known for being wrinkle-resistant. The higher the thread count, the softer the sheet, but also look at the weave for texture preferences.

What's the best way to clean and maintain my bedding?
Most bedding can be machine washed in warm water with like colours and a gentle detergent. Use a cool dryer setting to avoid shrinkage or line dry to maintain their longevity. Iron if necessary, and store in a cool, dry place. Always refer to the product's care label for specific instructions.

How often should I change or wash my bed linen?
Ideally, bed linen should be changed weekly or bi-weekly. Regular washing prevents the buildup of dust mites and keeps your sleeping environment fresh.

How to choose the right pillows for a good night’s sleep?
Consider your sleeping position when choosing pillows. Side sleepers may require a thicker pillow, while back or stomach sleepers may benefit from a flatter one. Memory foam or down alternatives can offer comfort and support.

How often should I replace my pillows?
Quality pillows can last 2 to 3 years with good care. However, if your pillow is no longer providing adequate support or if you notice discolouration or odour even after washing, it's time for a replacement.

How do I store seasonal bedding when not in use?
Clean your bedding before storage. Use breathable containers or bags to protect items from moisture and pests. Store in a dry place with little temperature fluctuation to maintain fabric integrity.

What should I consider when selecting bath towels?
Absorbency, softness, and durability are key. Look for high GSM (grams per square meter) towels for plushness and absorbency. Cotton towels, particularly Egyptian or Turkish cotton, offer superior softness and performance.

Are there differences between bath towels and beach towels?
Yes. Beach towels are typically longer, to fit lounge chairs, and made with lighter, quicker-drying fabric suited for sand and sun, whereas bath towels are designed for absorbency and softness against the skin.

How do I care for my bath towels to keep them feeling fresh?
Wash your bath towels every 3-4 uses in warm water with similar colours. Avoid fabric softeners as they can decrease absorbency. Give them a good shake before and after drying to fluff up the fibres.

What bathroom accessories should every home have?
The essentials include a bath mat, shower curtain or screen, bathroom bins, and storage solutions for toiletries. Also, consider aesthetic touches like coordinated soap dispensers or plants to create a serene atmosphere.
