PILLOWCASE, BED-SHEET AND COMFORTER

 

Pillowcase.

The bodies we live in get dirty throughout the day. We then eventually get tired, go home and recline onto our beds. We let our skin meet our sheets, with our faces on our pillows, every night for several hours. And while we may wash our faces and hands and brush our teeth (or even shower) before heading off to bed, we are still leaving behind a certain amount of body oil and dead skin cells combined with dust mites, allergens of various types and more, when we awaken and step out of bed every morning.

Not keeping up on decent pillowcase hygiene can mean those oils and allergens lead to clogged pores, skin irritations, acne, dirty hair, and other problems - whether we wash our faces before bed or not. Plus, after meticulously following strict beauty routines both morning and night, why let all that work go to waste by keeping a dirty pillowcase against our freshly cleaned faces all night long? Let us find out the best way to keep our pillowcases clean instead.

Pillowcases should be washed every few days - some suggest every two or three days - just like you should be washing anything that touches your face that frequently . 

Bed-sheet.

Washing once a week is best. But definitely the sheets must be washed AT LEAST once every two weeks. That is the maximum amount of time you should go. You are shedding off germs, sweat, saliva, body oils, allergens, pollen, makeup residue, dead skin cells, pet dander, dust mites, bacteria, fungi and even bodily fluids/fecal matter when you hit the sheets, all of which can cause health problems. What happens if you do not wash your sheets often enough? More exposure to pollen, pet dander, fungi, etc. can worsen your allergy and asthmatic symptoms. Dirty sheets can also cause contact dermatitis or trigger eczema.

Comforter.

Is there anything better than fresh, clean sheets? Yes, there is - a fresh, clean comforter to go along with them. Whether you are spring cleaning or not, it is important to keep all your bedding clean. Once you have washed the sheets, aired out the pillows and vacuumed your mattress, it is time to turn your focus to your beloved and oh-so-cozy comforter. Though washing the biggest, fluffiest part of your bedding might seem like a daunting task, it is a good idea to do so - here is how often the experts recommend washing your comforter.

According to the bedding professionals, you do not really need to wash your comforter more than a couple of times a year if you use a sheet to separate your skin from the comforter. In this situation, you really only need to wash it twice a year.  However, if you do not use a sheet to separate your skin from the comforter, then you must wash your comforter often preferably once every two weeks. There are other circumstances that may call for more frequent washing. For example, if your dog or cat sleeps on the bed with you, you may need to wash it more regularly to remove fur and pet odour.
