The Green Dorm Room Blog #1 of 5 - Bedding and Laundry
Annie’s Home Enlightenment Journal
DAY 1)
This is a scenario you definitely want to avoid: my friend’s son came home from after his first semester of college after his first semester not having washed his sheets once. They practically stood up and walked they were so stiff with dirt. The kid claimed he didn’t know he was supposed to wash them. Woah! Before your kids go off to college, teach them the laundry basics!
Whatever their laundry know-how, you can help your teen have an eco-dorm room and the healthiest and best nights’ sleep if when they are in bed they are wrapped in natural fibers that are washed in eco-friendly, fragrance-free detergents. Here’s how:
Bedding
a) Choose natural fiber sheets that are not permanent press.
b) Buy new, 100 percent natural, preferably organic, wool or down pillow. (Avoid polyester or other synthetic pillows.)
b) Choose natural blankets (cotton, wool) and if using a comforter, buy a natural one and avoid common comforters that are filled with polyester with treated cotton or polyester covers.

I wish I would have had this when my son left for college! However, no one says it can't still work for his apartment! Thanks. SM, USVI
