Mould warning over one room bedding and towels should 'never' be stored in

When it comes to bedsheets there is a lot of discussion to be had, from how often they should be washed to where exactly they should be stored.

In fact, Stacey Solomon recently revealed that she washes her sheets every week, which sparked some online debate. And now, experts are urging people to stop storing sheets in an area that is believed to be the correct place for them.

The experts at Happy Beds have revealed that storing your bedding in the bathroom could actually cause mould to develop over time.

The experts say they should 'never' be stored there: "Many people believe that they should store all linens, including bedding and towels, in the linen cupboard of their bathroom, however, this is the worst thing you can do.

"The cupboard can get extremely humid, causing mould and/or mildew to grow if left for long periods."

And that's not all - they also shared other mistakes people make when storing their bedsheets. Another popular practice is to store bed sheets in plastic containers, but the experts warn that this can cause discolouration.

They say: "Whilst Mrs Hinch and Marie Kondo may have influenced the nation to store everything in rattan baskets, plastic containers, and more.

"However, you should never store your bedding in any form of plastic material as they emit gases which seep into your bedding, causing a yellow stain."

And they share a further trick for those who are always struggling to have a matching bed sets ready to use at the same time.

The Happy Beds aces say: "Do you ever find yourself messing up your bedding storage system as you look for that one pillowcase that matches the rest of your bedding set?

"If so, you need to start folding your bedding cover, matching sheet and one pillowcase into the remaining pillowcase.

"That way, not only are your sheets protected from discolouration but you have the matching bedding stored together, saving you time and frustration further down the line."
