Cotton Duvet Covers

I just noticed this on a white tank I wore to bed the other night. I love my sheets but I just ordered a white duvet cover and don’t want it to be ruined. I have washed them a few times already.

Put your sheets in a bucket or clean trash can with 1 quart white vinegar and warm water to cover them. Use a brick or rock to hold them under the water, if necessary. Let them sit overnight, then launder.

Test your sheets by sleeping in that white tank again.

   Sorry cheap sheets. Get rid of them. Spend your money instead on high count Egyptian cotton sheets in whatever color. They are softer and much more luxurious than cheap satin.

   I experienced this with burgundy cotton sheets, even after multiple washes. Someone suggested adding vinegar to the water, but what I found really worked, was to wash in cold water only. I am wondering if the red might rub off onto the white duvet.
