“The Clean Sleep Recipe: How Often Should You Refresh Your Bed Linens?”

ADVERTISEMENT

For busy lifestyles: Rotate between two or three sets of sheets to make weekly changes easier.

For sensitive skin: Use fragrance-free, hypoallergenic detergents and avoid fabric softeners.

Eco-friendly option: Wash with cold water and use a drying rack to save energy.

FAQs:
Q: What happens if I don’t change my sheets regularly?
A: You risk skin irritation, allergies, and even fungal or bacterial infections due to the buildup of sweat, oils, and germs.

Q: Can I wash sheets with other laundry?
A: It’s best to wash sheets separately to give them enough space to get thoroughly cleaned and to prevent wear from rougher items like jeans or towels.

Q: How many sets of sheets should I own?
A: Ideally, 2–3 sets per bed so you always have a clean set available when one is in the wash.

Q: Is fabric softener necessary?
A: Not necessarily — it can build up over time and affect the absorbency of natural fibers like cotton. Use sparingly or opt for wool dryer balls.
