College students are not particularly well known for their cleanly habits. It’s perhaps with them in mind that Beantown Bedding have developed laundry free sheets made from a biodegradable fibre called Tencel. The sheets can be used for a couple of weeks and then thrown out to compost. Other viable markets include hotels, B&B’s and hospitals

This seems to be confined to the United States at the moment, so importing the idea to the UK could be worth investigating. Thinking more widely, might there be other opportunities to extend the disposable idea to other products, using material like this, and thereby reduce, or eliminate, the need for laundry?
