Bedding should be changed frequently to maintain health and avoid the accumulation of dust mites. Sometimes pets can sleep in the bed with us, so in this case the bedding should be washed even more often.
In the flow of everyday affairs, we can forget about the fact that we need to change the bedding, but it is necessary to do it if you do not want to get allergic reactions, writes the Mirror.
How often should bed linen be washed?
Clean bed linen is not only pleasant to the touch and smell, but also improves well-being. Pet owners who have dogs or cats should wash their bedding more often.
Pets accumulate hair, dander or street dirt. People shower every day, animals don't, so the bedding gets dirtier. Their dirty substances settle on bed linen and can cause allergies.
The expert advises washing clothes every 4 days to minimize the accumulation of dirt. This process is especially important for people who suffer from allergies.
If you do not have pets, then the sheets should be washed at least once every one or two weeks. Washing will help remove the accumulation of sebum, sweat or dead skin cells. Despite the fact that all people change bedding once every 2 weeks, dermatologists recommend changing sets every week or once every 10 days.
The temperature for washing should be within 40 degrees. Silk bedding should be washed at a temperature of 30 degrees. Terry bedding is washed at 40 degrees without the use of air conditioners.
