We have finally come up with a great way to wash queen size sheets. We fold them and put them in a large lingerie bag. Previously when they were dryed things always got stuck in the corners, and we ended up with wet items

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

I wash and dry bedding separately. That way, no items get stuck in corners.

Color me stupid.  If you fold the sheets and put them in a bag, how do the sheet tumble around in the washer to get clean?  I'll stick with the tried an true method I use.  Wash and dry separately.

Hi 👋. I'm curious what gets stuck in the sheets? Is it all the single socks that go missing and suddenly reappear? 🤔. Because I can't figure out what else could be in the washer with the sheets.

My thought also.

I just did my sheets set yesterday and checked a few times during tumble dry to make sure the pillowcases weren't stuck in the fitted sheet.

 

May consider your idea and that may solve the problem. Smiley Happy

Re: Washing Sheets

Washing sheets no issue and more in the dryer but midway I rearrange them to finish drying.  

Do you put the pillow cases in a bag to wash? That would be easier than the sheet.  

Are you talking about washing or drying?

We wash the fitted sheet and king sized pillow cases in one load with whitener--Borax, Arm and Hammer, etc.  We do another load with the top sheet and smaller pillowcases and whitner.  They come out great.

 

We got a new front load washer lately that is bigger, and it is even better at washing the sheets than the old one.  They get dried in 2 loads in the bigger dryer and no problem now.

I wash large items like sheets and large towels together to avoid having things get stuck in the fitted-sheet pockets.
