What setting do you wash bed sheets on?

Sheets, unless unusually dirty, should be placed in the wash on a normal, or regular, cycle. The normal setting also work to avoid excessive wrinkling. Over Drying: With bed sheets taking up a lot of space it stands to reason that they also may take a bit longer to dry.

Should sheets be washed as delicates?

Choose a detergent for delicate fabrics to wash silk and satin sheets. A gentle setting in cold water works best. Take care not to use any harsh chemicals that can damage the delicate fabric such as bleach, or fabric softener. Silk and satin sheets should not be put in the dryer, as heat may cause damage to them.
