I keep buying sheets that feel incredibly soft out of the box, then after one wash they instantly become hard and scratchy. I buy the high thread counts and the Egyptian whoopdeedo sheets but it does not matter. They are all immediately ruined after one wash. I follow all the advice about cold water and 'delicate' setting, and use mild, eco-friendly detergents. An exception is an old sheet that I dont know what it is made of (no label)- it stays soft but has a big rip in it now and I can not find a replacement. I have another cheap, old twin bed sheet that stays soft and is made of half cotton and half polyester... why is polyester softer than 750 count Egyptian or sateen?! Am tired of wasting money and NO ONE seems to know what is going on. The only thing I can guess is there is something about the water here in Los Angeles and certain fabrics. I dont notice this problem with clothes, only sheets. How do I find a sheet that wont go hard in the wash? Has anyone else had this problem?

I know just what you are talking about. I have some pillowcases in my linen closet that I might as well throw out because of the same problem.
This is the little bit I have learned, I hope it helps.

I buy 100% Pima Cotton or 100% Supima Cotton sheets with a single ply thread count of 400 or more. They cost a fortune. I shop sales on websites or buy the discontinued colors to save money.

I don't know what the difference is between Egyptian Cotton, sateen, and Pima Cotton, but there is one, and it matters. The Pima Cotton or Supima Cotton is what you want.

The thread count is tricky, I'm not sure I can explain it accurately. 400 thread count means that there are 400 threads in one inch of fabric. In single ply, there are actually 400 individual threads in each inch of the sheet. If it's not single ply, the manufacturer can take one long thread and then spin several threads (let's say 5) along it, so one single thread is now a big fat one. Then they count that as 5 threads. So it doesn't have the same feel as 400 individual threads because it's really just 80 fat threads.

That's all I know. Good Luck.

I recently bought two 8 week old female dwarf hampsters. I have been handling them a lot and letting them run around in the living room on a cotton sheet from an old twin bed set of mine, which I clean regularly.

I have noticed that both of them seem to itch and clean themselves quite often, more so outside the cage than in it. Is it just them getting used to their new surroundings? Do they have some sort of parasite on them? Should I get them a dust bath, like they have for chinchillas?

No don't give your hamsters dust baths... my hamster cleans himself all the time, I think they may be trying to get used to the smell or get the smell of them I dont really know but its normal
