Forget drying your sheets all the way—there’s an old-school hack that makes your bed smoother, fresher, and helps your linens last longer: make your bed with slightly damp sheets. Why It Works: Fewer Wrinkles: Damp sheets dry smoothly on the bed, eliminating creases without ironing. Longer-Lasting Scent: They hold on to that just-washed smell longer—especially…
Less Dust, Fewer Allergens: Skipping the dryer reduces lint and heat damage, making it gentler on fabrics and your airways.
Easier Fit: Damp sheets are stretchier, making them easier to put on—great for anyone with limited mobility.
Fabric-Friendly: Avoids high-heat wear and tear, helping quality sheets last longer.
