put soda crystals in the wash.

cut the washing powder to half and replace the other half w/soda crystals.

add a cup of vinegar + drops of essential oil to the fabric softener drawer.

dry the sheets outside.

always wash towels on as hot a wash as you've got usually 90 oC. Bedding is a little more tricky as it depends what it's made of, but again if you can wash it at 90 so mcuh the better. The washing machine repair man told me that if everyone did at least one boil wash a week it would put him out of work, so it's worth doing for that reason alone!

A few of drops of tee tree oil in the drawer works wonders.
