Adding our sheets to the laundry load ASAP.
So what’s the real answer? Maybe you religiously wash your sheets once a week or wait until they’re not smelling so fresh, but either way, you’ve probably wondered exactly. You have to make sure you decide to wash them early enough in the day so that they dry by bedtime, and you may not want to wash them on nights where kids or pets are going to hop right back on the bed. But there’s a sheet washing frequency that can work with your lifestyle.
, Co-Founder of Clarisonic and Skin Expert, PhD in Microbiology specializing in Immunology and Infectious Diseases. “First, you need to understand that everyone has tiny mites all over their bodies and these mites feed off dead skin. For our skin to be healthy, we need these mites on the body. When these mites — commonly known as dust mites — excrete feces, it is the fecal matter that then causes irritation, inflammation and other allergy responses.
Remember, dead skin is food for these dust mites which are transferred from your skin to the sheets. If you don’t change your sheets, you create a breeding ground of mites, and the more mites, the more feces. The more feces, the more likely you will have irritation, especially if you are more sensitive to this, explains Akridge.
But that’s not the only thing you have to worry about. You also could have fungi that can grow within your sheets. “For example, if you have athlete’s foot, the fungi can live in your sheets and can be passed on to someone who you are sharing a bed with,” Akridge says.“It is important to use sheets that are breathable,” Akridge says. “Cotton is really the best. Also, if you have any skin infections, acne or mite allergies, you should stick to white cotton sheets.
