Why Indian Railways Provides White Bed Sheet In Trains? Check Out The Reason Behind It

White colour is considered a symbol of purity and cleanliness and this colour shows dirt more easily than any other colour. Thousands of passengers use train bedsheets and pillows, hence white colour ensures whether they are clean or not. 

If there is any stain on the bedsheet, it will be very clearly visible in the white colour. This colour helps in maintaining cleanliness and hygiene in the train and also reflects a professional image.

The white colour helps to keep the mind calm and relaxed and also ensures that passengers feel comfortable during long journeys.

Compared to other colours, white fabrics are easier to maintain. Even after repeated washing, the colour never fades. The railways use special mechanized machines to wash these sheets and pillow covers. These machines have boilers and can wash multiple sheets simultaneously at high temperatures.

White colours remain clean and bright even after bleaching and frequent washing. Therefore, the railways use white to ensure that the bedrolls provided to passengers are not only hygienic and germ-free but also look good. (Image: Zee News Hindi)
