HOW TO CARE FOR OUR BEDSHEET.

We’re accustomed to washing our clothes whenever the hamper is full and we find ourselves with nothing to wear. We may wipe down the kitchen counter after washing the dishes that we’ll need to use again tomorrow. Most of us will run a duster over the surfaces in our home when visible dust starts to show up.

But at the end of a long day, it’s easy to fall into bed without giving your sheets a second thought.

*So how often should you be changing your sheets? Let’s take a closer look.*

According to a 2012 poll by the National Sleep Foundation, 91 percent of people change their sheets every other week. Although this is a common rule of thumb, many experts recommend weekly washings.

This is because your sheets can accumulate a lot of stuff you can’t see: thousands of dead skin cells, dust mites, and even fecal matter.

You can keep your sheets clean between washing and help preserve them by:

Showering before bed.

Avoiding naps after a sweaty gym session.

Removing makeup before you go to sleep.

Avoiding putting on lotions, creams, or oils right before bed.

Not eating or drinking in bed.

Keeping your pets off your sheets.

Removing debris and dirt from your feet or socks before climbing into bed.
