The Importance of Tea Towels and Fitted Sheets

One thing that is overlooked as one of the most important parts of every household is the linen. No one realizes that they are using irritating cheap linens until they decide to make the switch to nicer higher quality fabric.

One of these linens that people hesitate to replace is the tea towels. Most people have tea towels that have tea towels that are five to ten years old and have been uses to clean up a million messes. Many of them are also made of some cheaper synthetic material that barely absorbs any liquid. It is important to get new tea towels fairly often to keep you kitchen free of bacteria. Old tea towels don’t absorb properly and end up just spreading the mess around. Getting some new one hundred percent cotton towels can give you maximum absorption. Many of them also come with nice designs that are an easy way to brighten your kitchen.

Other linen that people don’t often upgrade is their sheets. Fitted sheets are nice because they hug the bed closely and do not bunch up at night. Upgrading to a higher thread count and higher quality cotton not only makes your sheets last longer but also reduces irritation and allowing you to sleep much more comfortably.

Finally, it is important to have a high quality mattress protector. Mattresses are not only expensive but also very hard to properly clean. Mattress protectors keep dust and bacteria form building up in your mattress and keep your bed clean. There are also hypoallergenic ones that work even better.
