I like the name of these because as a person who hates scents, it’s so fitting and menacing.

Unscented detergent, hang outside until almost dry, put in dryer to finish. Ahhh.

Only buy white cotton sheets (high quality if possible -- no polyester, etc), wash in hot water, sometimes I use a little Clorox -- about 1/3 amount recommended on container. Dry in dryer. They smell great!

Don’t recommend this, because body stains + bleach can = yellow. Oxiclean is a better choice. If you’re sure the white sheets are clean and they have some other kind of stain you want to bleach you can.

PP here. I've never had that issue in all the many years I've used little Clorox but am certainly open to trying Oxiclean instead.

NP but I’ve been buying white cotton sheets and using Clorox on them for 20 years with no yellow stains.
