The Makings of a Fresh, Clean Bed

Doesn’t it feel wonderful to crawl into a freshly made bed? Here are a few tips to make sure you continue to enjoy a neat and tidy, freshly made bed no matter your level of vision.

Now, the simplest way to make your bed in the morning is to just pull the covers up to your head before you even get out of it. Then slide on out and smooth the covers.

And when it’s time to change the sheets, here are a few tips to help the process go as smoothly and easily as possible. In the best of all worlds, your bedroom furniture is arranged so that you can easily work on both sides of the bed.

Now, gather all the things you’ll need and place them on a clean, consistent place near the bed like a chair or another bed.

Next, you’ll need to find the midpoint of the sheets before you remove them. A handy way to do that is to pin a safety pin to the middle of the sheet down at the bottom. You can leave the pin in for washing and folding.
