“It is recommended that you wash and change your bed sheets once a week, or at most every other week,” the experts explained.
Once a week is a “healthy balance between washing sheets regularly enough to avoid the build-up of bacteria, germs, and dirt without being so often that it becomes hard to fit into your routine”.
The experts added: “Still, lots of us are guilty of neglecting to have a regular sheet-washing schedule as it can feel like a chore when you are busy with work, children, or other daily chores.”
They warned that if people don’t wash their bedding regularly, the sheets can “become smelly and covered in bacteria and fungi”.
