Bed sheets
I’m sure most people know they should change and wash their sheets at least once a week, but the average person only washes their sheets every two weeks, at most.
“The average person washes their bed sheets once every two weeks, but in the summer months, twice a month is not enough to keep allergens at bay,” said Sealy UK’s Chief Sleep Officer, Neil Robinson.
Not washing them comes with a lot of consequences, such as rashes and skin irritation but washing them has some consequence of its own. Generally, after two years of constantly washing the sheets, bed linen fibers can break down and sheets may start to tear. Therefore, if they start looking weird and make you feel uncomfortable in bed, or even before you reach that point, throw them away or donate them to be recycled into rags.
