So… You want to know how often you really need to wash your sheets. Well, if you ask enough people, you’ll probably notice that everyone has a different answer. But I’m here to set the record straight and settle this debate once and for all.

Don’t get me wrong — most of us already know that it’s important to keep your sheets clean. But you might not know about all the creepy critters and funky fungi that can live in your bedding if you don’t wash it properly. So keep reading to learn exactly how often you should be laundering your linens, and why snoozing on clean bedding will earn you better Zzz’s.

Why Do I Need To Wash My Sheets?
Before I reveal exactly how often you should be washing your sheets, let’s talk about why you need to wash them.

Dust Mites – Every night as you roll around in bed, you shed thousands and thousands of skin cells, with any dirt or sweat going right into your bedding. And to make matters ickier, dust mites actually feed on those shed skin cells.

Allergens – A buildup of sweat and skin cells is reason enough to keep your sheets clean, but keep in mind that a great many of us are allergic to dust mites! Regularly washing your bedding can serve to keep those allergens at bay, and prevent you from waking up with a stuffy nose.

Skin Care – In addition to the dust mites hunting for a free meal, bed sheets can collect all kinds of bacteria, fungi, and other allergens that are totally invisible to the eye. Not to mention, makeup and face cream can accumulate in your bedding pretty quickly, which has been known to cause acne and other skin-related issues.
