If you boil them they may fade and also may shrink. This will not be noticeable on a flat sheet but on a fitted sheet it may not fit the mattress any more. I use 60 deg C for bed sheets that are white but 50 deg C for coloured sheets.
Your sheets are 100% cotton. You should have very little shrinkage if any. You should not use bleach when you boil them. Reminds me of Grand-ma boiling her sheets.Thanks and Good Luck!!
You sure can ……. cotton shrinks very little ……. so boiling them is just fine …… your color fade and shinkage should be minimal ……. hope this helps …….. = )
