How often should you change the bedding for maximum comfort and hygiene

When we sleep we are in direct contact with the bedding. This causes dead skin and sweat to accumulate on the fibers of the sheets, thus causing the appearance of large amounts of mites. To this must be added dirt, such as remains of cosmetics or dust.How can we be sure that we sleep in a healthy bed and not in a source of mites and possible bacteria? We give you an expert advice on this one!SheetsThe frequency with which the sheets have to be washed will depend a lot on our habits. If you sleep in pajamas and the person showers before going to bed, it is possible that the sheets may be in good condition even two weeks. However, it is recommended not to reach this point and wash them every week.For people who sleep in their pajamas but do not shower before sleeping, but in the morning, the sheets should be washed every week, so that they are perfectly clean. But if you sleep naked or are sick, then it is advisable to change the sheets twice a week.In summer , when people sweat more, this frequency of twice a week is the most recommended for everyone. Thus, the bed will always be clean and very fresh, so it will be more pleasant to lie down.It is not just the frequency with which the sheets are washed, it is also important the temperature at which it is made. And here, experts recommend that it be at least 60 degrees. Because washing the bed clothes in cold water or at 30 degrees, something usual, will only eliminate 30% of the mites they contain.Pillows and their coversThe pillow covers that are in contact with the head are washed with the same frequency as the sheets , although they really should be washed more often because we sweat much more through the head and the contact is much more intense.The protective covers of the pillows should be washed once every two months and the pillow twice a year . It is important to change the pillows every four or five years at the most. No matter how much love we have and how comfortable it is, from this time it is no longer guaranteed that they will be hygienic.The Dohar coversThe dohars , provided they are not used as sheets, no need to wash too often . It is enough to do it twice a year, just like the quilts and any other type of cover.However, if you have pets that tend to lie on the bed or we do it frequently to read, watch TV or take a nap without undoing it, then it is best to wash the cover or the quilt every month or every two months depending on the use they are given.The QuiltsMany people recognize that never wash the quilts, because to do so it is necessary to go to the laundry. The same goes for cotton fillings. But this is not good because this bedding can accumulate mites even without being in contact with the body.It is recommended that every three months be aerated . For this they can hang on the line in the air, without needing to wash them. And, once a year, they are taken to the laundry for a cleaning . This can be done when they are going to save from one season to another, so they do not stay with the sweat and mites that can cause when they are caught again in late fall they have a bad smell or yellowish spots.

Take your own tablecloths and still save more.You can also prepare a cocktail-type meal in which all the food is arranged in different tables without the need of waiters to serve it.For this you will only need tablecloths and a nice distribution of the dishes on the tables:The organization of foodThe best way to solve a meal for so many people is with a catering service that is responsible for bringing all the food and heating it. We can also take care that the tables serve if we do not want to be aware of having to do it.Another option is to serve cold food, this way we will save the table service, which will make everything go down a lot of price.

Choosing Decorative Pillows & Cushions For Your Home

The decorative cushions are present in all the houses, whether in the living room or in the bedrooms. Sometimes, even in other rooms. We use them to reinforce decoration, but also for a thousand and one uses. We have become accustomed to these jokers so comfortable and that give so much game.The fashions influence the cushions and now they are no longer those stitched to cross stitches of yesteryear, but are more fashionable models of simple printed fabric and, of course, complicate us much less life.Decorative pillows for bedroomThe decorative pillows for bedroom depend a lot on fashions and personal tastes. Some people enjoy a lot of cushions on the bed and others consider them uncomfortable, finding it annoying to have to separate them during the night.But in any bedroom, at least a couple of decorative cushions fit well. Many times, they are purchased matching the Nordic case and changed when the cover is changed. The reason is that the cushions are used as auxiliary pillows to elevate more when watching TV or even to sleep instead of pillows.Our recommendation is not to fall into excesses and place two larger rectangular cushions on the pillow and two smaller squares supported in front. Thus, the bed will be perfectly decorated without falling into excess.These cushions can be different, for example, the larger ones can be in plain tone and used independently of the duvet cover and the two smaller ones being coordinated. Thus, square cushions can be used as auxiliary pillows and large ones can be removed at nightfall.In the children's rooms the cushions can be used for other purposes than decorating. Children will use them to sit on the floor, to help them get to the table when sitting on the chair etc. They also use totally different cushions, with the prints they like, with a lot of color and, whenever possible, their favorite characters.The cushions in the children's room must be worn and easily washed, because they will surely stain frequently. In the bed there can be a single cushion and the rest can be stored in a net to collect objects. So they will have it easier when they learn to make the bed.Decorative cushions for living roomIn the living room cushions are essential, especially if you live very close to this family space. Children can use them to watch TV sitting on the floor, something they love. Older to use backup or to support the computer. And all, to enjoy a little nap on the couch.It's nice to hug them, squeeze them, use them as a pillow, put them in the kidneys and give them a thousand uses as footrests on the table. But, first of all, they are decorative and have to fit well with the colors that prevail in the living room.In our catalog you can find a wide selection of decorative cushion covers so you can choose the ones you like the most and the ones that fit best in the style of the living room. You can combine them by putting several of the same or you can decide to give it a much more informal air with unpaired cushions, although all of them combine well with the rest of the decoration.This last option is the favorite in juvenile environments and also allows to expand the number of cushions at will. The same cushions provide greater uniformity and are perfect when everything else looks too uneven and you do not want to abuse the color.Terrace cushionsThe terraces with another space in which the cushions are often used, both decorative and more functional cushions. It is common to create a relaxing corner on the terrace where you go to read or listen to music and the cushions can make this corner much more cozy and pleasant.They can also be used to create an informal space in which to take something with friends sitting directly on cushions on the floor. In this case two types will be used: on the one hand large and thick cushions that will serve as a seat and also as a backrest and other smaller cushions that can be used as an ornament. With a low table, you will have achieved a very informal and relaxed atmosphere.In this case, the color of the cushions will depend on the environment sought for this corner and also on the general atmosphere of the terrace. You can choose whites as predominant for an Ibizan-style terrace, for earth tones to give a very relaxing atmosphere to the room or for an explosion of color if you want everything to look youthful, carefree and very cheerful.

Tips to make your home more cozy

There are small details that make a house much more welcoming . For example, pictures can make a house look much more dressed and have more personality. The plants are also a very welcoming touch in any home.The small details, without falling into excesses and overload, make a house different from another , especially now that the floors have all more or less the same structure and that the furniture that is purchased are quite similar as they continue the same tendencies.Providing personality to the house is not always a simple task, but it is important to achieve it and that is why you have to invest time in it. But getting it to become a home and be cozy is basic, and that's why when choosing the decoration this should be the most important point to consider.As we are mainly concerned with textiles, we are going to give some advice on how to use them to give a more cozy and more home-like appearance to any room, making returning home an even greater pleasure.Blankets and plaidsIt is true that the blankets in the bed are used less and less. They have given way to bedspreads, as well as quilts. All of them are very warm and much less heavy than blankets, so these have been practically banished.However, the blankets have not disappeared from home. Its warmth makes any stay much more welcoming when you see a blanket in between and that's why they continue to be very successful both in the living room and in the room.In the living room, the blankets are placed on the sofa , either stretched out and left to see when covering part of the sofa either folded but also partially decorating. This year the hair blankets have become especially fashionable, which further enhance the image of warmth and which are especially decorative.In the bed, the blankets are worn on the feet , as a decoration. They look especially good when placed on a white bedspread, which are trend this season, or any other mono-color, but can also be used on patterned bedspreads.Blankets with pastel colors are trend this season and give the room a much more welcoming feeling.Matching towelsThe towels have, of course, an undeniable practical function. But they also have a decorative function . Therefore, the hangers for towels should be placed strategically in the bathroom and, once the place has been chosen to put them, we should worry that the towels that occupy these places are beautiful and contribute to the decoration.The matching towels are still the first choice in most homes, as they look great and give a greater appearance of order. Also, in a small bathroom it does not make sense to play with different colors, so using towels that are the same is the most appropriate.It is not necessary that they have a stamp or a certain brand, they can be plain towels, but the important thing is that they are all of the same color so that there is uniformity in the whole, making the bathroom look much more welcoming.If you also place an open shelf in which you can see the different sets of towels and also the loose towels for the hands, the appearance of the bathroom will be much more pleasant and will be very practical so that everyone who uses it always finds a towel appropriate by hand.Decorated tableclothsThe rush and avoid ironing make that in many houses the tablecloths have disappeared from the kitchens and dining rooms, at least for day to day. Plasticized rubbers that are cleaned with a damp cloth are much more comfortable and should not be washed or ironed to make them look impeccable.But the touch that a tablecloth gives to a table can not be replaced by this type of plastics that, in addition, do not usually have a great variety of designs. Today, we can find hand block printed cotton tablecloths that are also cleaned with great ease, but that have the look and feel of the cloth tablecloths that give the dining room that special touch.They can also be used in the kitchen, for day to day, reserving for special days the linen tablecloths that are much more delicate. Of course, if you are looking for a cozy dining room or kitchen, the tablecloth can not be missing from the table. If you also use matching napkins, the result is even more homelike.

Not only the bedspread, but also the walls and curtains giving a fresh, slightly romantic and perfect image for very small rooms as they will look bigger and brighter.

Spring decoration ideas and tips

Spring is finally here and it's time to celebrate the new season, the coming of a new season and the beautiful weather. One way you can celebrate this great weather is to decorate your house for spring.This is a time for spring cleaning, because you know it's a good time to renovate your home, especially the main rooms that visitors see when they come to your house.The natural materials, increasingly fashionableThe textiles of the home should be combined with furniture and accessories, so, we must analyze what it takes for this spring at home. And we find that natural materials are the most requested. The wood, the raffia or the cane, are some of these materials of which we speak and that combine perfectly with the natural materials in textile, like the fresh linen and the cotton, both very suitable for when the good weather arrives.Nordic trends and rustic tendencies get along very well with these natural materials , and the decorations become very simple, in some cases even sober. This implies that home textiles should provide the point of informality and color that is missing in this type of decorations, but without falling into excesses that would make them not suitable.Textiles must also provide a point of home that in spring translates into freshness. Therefore, you have to know how to play very well with colors to achieve a good balance between that freshness and the neutrality that is fashionable. Neutral tones are a trend, as we will see, but there are also certain colors, such as green, that remain in the color palette for spring and that bring a lot of freshness and color without being excessive.For the walls, the white, the very light gray or the pearl color is worn. This type of tones bring light to the rooms and make them look fresher, and larger, so they are perfect for small apartments. However, you have to know how to give them a note of color in the decoration, for example, in the curtains, or there will be the risk of resulting in very cold and soulless walls.The wooden floors contrast with these white walls, and are a touch of warmth very important. It does not matter if it is real wood, if it is a floating platform or even if it is a ceramic floor that imitates this material. But if you do not have wooden floors, the coconut fiber or sisal carpets can be a good alternative to highlight a natural material.Neutral tones are trendAs we have already anticipated, neutral tones are a trend for this spring. The beige and earth tones are ideal for any room, but do not forget that, spring asks for a pinch of color that has to come from elements, such as foulards, for the sofa or as cushions.The intense and cheerful colors are admitted in the scarves , since they are an element that is not permanent, and that, therefore, does not run the risk of tiring. The same goes for the cushions, since these can be varied as much as you want and, in addition, because of their size they are never excessive.The green is reaffirmed as a current colorOne of the colors that can not miss in your decoration for this spring is, without doubt, green. If during the winter the bottle green was the most striking trend, now it is the green inspired by nature that will have the most prominence.It combines very well with the neutral tones to give them that contrast that we talked about, but also fits perfectly with the philosophy of decoration based on natural materials, since the prints of leaves and large flowers will accentuate this feeling of nature.We are going to tell you that green is not going to be the only color trend for this spring , but that some new ones arrive that are very surprising and beautiful, but we will talk about these in future articles, because we can not discover everything in a single week.

Daily routines that will improve order in your home

Home textiles can make the house much more pleasant and cozy , but if there is no order, there will be no curtains, quilts or sofa covers that can work magic. The order is very important in the home and, sometimes, getting it is just a matter of some very simple routines.That is why, on this occasion, we are not going to talk as much about home textiles as about order , which allows them to shine in all their splendor and make the house look as beautiful as we like.Routines when you get homeIt is highly recommended to change clothes and shoes when you get home , so you will be more comfortable and also avoid staining the floor or upholstery. Therefore, it is good to have a place to leave your shoes and coat as soon as you arrive, especially in winter. A closet in the hallway is a great tool , but if you do not have a hanger and a bench to take off your shoes, they can be worth it.You must also have thought, the place to leave the work material or the bag of school books . It is not worth leaving it in the entrance or throwing it on the bed, but, you have to have a space specially designed for it. What good is it to have a nice quilt on the bed if you do not see it with everything left over?Routines in the bathroomOne of the times when the house is most often messed up is when everyone is showering at the same time and we want to run to make room. Therefore, it is essential to have simple routines in the shower and an established order in the bathroom.To begin with, it is a good idea to have a bucket for dirty clothes in the bathroom . Thus, when you undress, you can put everything in the bucket to wash, and you will be removing clothes that otherwise may end up in a pile, as well as wet towels.Wicker baskets or similar are always a good alternative in the bathroom to store large things , such as hair dryer, tweezers, etc. The latter occupy a lot of room in the drawers, which is best reserved for those small items, such as makeup products.Place inside the drawers pieces to order and to be able to place each type of item in a section always helps to leave everything in place, quickly, and locate it without having to search from all sides. In the case of children, a good idea is that their spaces in the drawer are of a certain color, so they can identify them quickly and know where they have to leave their things.Routines before bedtimeAt night , we are always a little more relaxed than in the morning and that is why it is the best time to make sure everything is in order and well organized. Hanging clothes that we have removed and is not to wash or leave ready the next day's clothes are things that take us a few minutes, but save time in the morning and prevent us end up taking several things out of the closet and leaving them out while we decide what to wearGetting used to keeping each room you go through before going to bed orderly also helps the house be in order. Having storage spaces in the living room allows you to leave many things that you like to use, but that do not look good on the table or furniture, like the blankets to watch TV. Puffs, which allow you to keep things inside, or sofas with chest, are good examples of places to keep this kind of things and that the room is always orderly.Involves the whole familyThe whole family must be involved in order at home. Children too, even if they are small. Teaching them to pick up their things when they finish playing and go to bed is a way to empower them to be ordained adults.For children, large containers work very well , since they allow them to put all their things inside without having to worry about them keeping a specific place. Thus, they learn first to collect, and later they can move from the toy container to a shelf, which needs a little more involvement.We must not forget that children do not do what we teach them with words like what we show them with facts , so if we want them to have their room collected it is good to see that the rest of the house is too.
