Dubai’s summer climate, with its high temperatures and occasional humidity, can take a toll on your bedding—especially cotton sheets. While cotton is a breathable and durable choice for hot weather, it still needs proper care to stay soft, fresh, and long-lasting. Bed sheets like RocketLinen that are made without the use of harmful chemicals because natural fabrics are move sensitive to excess head and detergents and can usually fare much better with gentle care.
1. Wash Regularly, But Gently
In Dubai’s climate, it’s wise to wash your sheets every 5–7 days to keep them clean from sweat, dust, and allergens. Use a gentle, cool or warm wash cycle (not hot) with a mild detergent to avoid breaking down the cotton fibers.
Tip: Avoid bleach or strong stain removers—they can weaken the fabric and fade colors, especially under the sun.
2. Dry Smartly in the Heat
While Dubai’s sun is tempting for quick drying, excessive direct sunlight can fade and weaken cotton. If possible, dry your sheets outdoors in partial shade or indoors with good ventilation. If you use a dryer, select a low heat setting to prevent shrinkage.
Bonus Tip: Shake your sheets before hanging or placing them in the dryer to reduce wrinkles and help them dry evenly.
3. Iron (If You Must) with Care
For that crisp, hotel-like look, some prefer to iron their sheets. Use a steam iron on the cotton setting and iron while the sheets are slightly damp. But if you’re short on time, simply folding them neatly straight after drying works well too.
4. Store in a Cool, Dry Place
Dubai homes can collect humidity, especially in the summer. Store your sheets in a breathable cotton bag or linen closet, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Avoid plastic containers, which can trap heat and lead to musty odors.
5. Rotate Your Bedding
To extend the life of your cotton sheets, rotate between two or three sets. This prevents excessive wear and gives each set time to rest between uses and washes.
6. Watch Out for Dust and Sand
Even in high-rise buildings, fine dust can settle quickly in Dubai. Keep windows closed when not needed and consider using an air purifier in your bedroom to reduce dust accumulation on your bedding.
Conclusion:
Caring for your cotton sheets in Dubai doesn’t have to be difficult.
