Whether it’s dead skin cells, bodily oils, sweat, or dust, there are plenty of reasons to wash your sheets more often. We asked some of our frequent customers how they handle sheets in their delivery laundry service rotation with The Folde.

“My work clothes get dry cleaned every other week. When I order a dry cleaning pickup from The Folde, I usually add Standard Bag to help me catch up on random laundry – mostly sheets & towels that I don’t want sitting in my hamper until I get around to washing it myself. ” – Matt A, avg. 1-2 bags per month.

“I keep three sets of sheets and towels for each bedroom and bathroom. When I’m on my last batch, I’ll schedule an order to restock my sheet & towel inventory at the house. I’d like to think it’s once a season but it’s probably closer to once every six months. Oops! Maybe I need to wash our sheets more!” – Tina W, avg. 4-5 bags per year.

“It’s easy to top off every order I send to The Folde with my sheets and pillowcases. Since the price doesn’t change, I just stuff them in the bag. Sometimes that means the bag doesn’t even close all the way. But, I really like my sheets clean!” – Sheridan C, avg. 2 bags per month.

The Folde offers flat-rate pricing on all wash & fold orders – delivered straight to your door. If washing your sheets frequently is something you’re interested in but have been putting off, try it out! And, get ready for that first night in new sheets feeling!

As the case with other viruses, laundering in hot water, 160 degrees F, and chlorine bleach is a very effective method for sanitizing linens. The CDC states that laundering with detergent alone is also an effective method. And, the recommendation on weekly laundering below may need to be increased during this particular outbreak.
