Hi, moved out of home 6 months ago (and to another country!) and just don’t think I’ve got the laundry right yet....

How does everyone was bedsheets? Is
there any top tips for this and fluffy towels?

Also, cleaning clothes... I was them in the machine to but is this right? I’m not sure if bleach is being left behind as I’ve had a few minor stains!

Finally cracked partners greasy work clothes using dettol cleaner which is fab!

Bedsheets I wash at 60 or 90 if particularly sweaty. Add fabric conditioner to make them softer as you wish.

Fluffy towels if you line dry pop them in the tumble dryer to fluff up.

Yes I wash my cleaning cloths as the last wash just with detergent and then do a bleach wash or hot wash afterwards.

If you feel there are stains on clothes after washing your cleaning cloths avoid bleach and make sure you do a clean wash (no clothes) to remove any bleach from your machine before washing anything else.

Bedsheets on 60°.
Towels into the tumble dryer after washing to soften. And don't wash them after a single use. Use them a few days.
Don't put bleach into your machine.
Partners work clothes - scrap the dettol if it has bleach in, and instead soak them overnight in cold water before putting them in a 30° wash.
