If you spend a lot of time in your caravan or campervan, it’s important to keep your bedding clean. Clean bedding is not only more hygienic but also ensures a better night’s sleep.
In this blog article we give you some tips on how to keep your bedding clean in your caravan or camper.
Which materials are suitable?
The first step is to choose suitable materials for your bedding. Synthetic materials are easy to clean and wrinkle less easily than natural materials, making them a good choice for caravans and motorhomes.
Natural materials like cotton and wool are also suitable for bedding in caravans and campers. However, they are a little more difficult to clean and can wrinkle more easily.
How often should you wash your bedding?
How often you should wash your bedding depends on how often you use it. If you sleep in your caravan or camper every night, you should wash your bedding at least once a week. If you only use it on weekends, once every two weeks is sufficient.
How do you wash your bedding?
Wash your bedding at a temperature of at least 60 degrees Celsius. This kills all bacteria and mold. Use a mild detergent and don’t add fabric softener. Fabric softener can reduce the breathability of your bedding.
Dry your bedding well
Make sure your bedding is thoroughly dry before using it again. Wet bedding can cause mold and bacteria. Hang your bedding outside to dry if weather permits. If you must dry it indoors, use a tumble dryer on a low heat.
Change your pillowcases and duvet cover regularly
Pillowcases and duvet covers can easily get dirty. Therefore, change them regularly. A good rule of thumb is to wash them every two weeks.
Store your bedding properly
Store your bedding in a dark, cool place. Light and heat can discolor or weaken it.
By following these tips, you can keep your bedding clean and fresh in your caravan or camper.
