How often SHOULD you change your sheets?

Apr

Last week I ran poll on instagram, how often do you change your sheets? once a week, every other week, or once a month. A majority of you said every two weeks.

I personally like to change my sheets once a week, and from the research I have done…here is what the EXPERTS or professionals recommend…….YOU should change your sheets ONCE A WEEK.

Let me tell you WHY?

WHY?

Weekly your sheets are exposed to fungi, pet dander, crumbs, dead skin, and other bacteria commonly found on sheets. I like to wash my sheets in the hottest water, I put my washer on the Allergiene setting. I have an LG steam washer…it will steam them as well as get rid of the bacteria. There are a lot of new versions of washers that should have a steam type setting. This is not and AD for LG, I recently had to get a new washer as my old one quit and I chose the steam washer by LG. I really LOVE the Allergiene setting.

You definitely should wash your sheets more often if you have

Allergies
you sweat excessively
your pet sleeps in your bed
you eat in your bed
you have a cut that comes in contact with sheets or a pillow
you sleep naked
you shower in the morning, not at night before bed

Recommendations

I recommend that you have a couple sets of sheets, this will make it easy to swap them weekly. When its time to wash them for the week, rotate them with another washed set. This will also help your sheets last longer as you wont wear them out as quick.

TIP: I like to have at least one set of COLORED sheets, why? because a colored set of sheets helps to hide the WEAR, therefore they last longer.
