Wash your sheets!
It feels amazing to slip between clean, sweet-smelling sheets at bedtime. In fact, a survey commissioned by the National Sleep Foundation revealed that more than half the people they asked rated fresh-smelling sheets as important to their sleep experience. Lots of people love the smell of clean sheets, but most of us don't wash them often enough to keep them that way.
And your sheets absorb lots of other random messes, too: “All that stuff that happens below the waist [and] up by your head—skincare products, hair care products, ear wax, snot, drool, lots of really gross stuff—is transferred to your sheets,” Johnson says. It’s best to wash sheets at least once every two weeks. And that might not be often enough. How often you should wash your sheets When we took an informal poll in our newsroom to find out how often our journalists wash their sheets, the responses ranged from, “Every week!” to “Whenever they look dirty.” There's no wrong answer, but experts say it's best to wash sheets at least once every two weeks. And that might not always be often enough.
How to wash your sheets It's not like it's hard to clean your sheets. Wash them in the warmest water they can stand because warm water can help dissolve body oils. Then, either tumble dry or hang them in the sun—sunlight is a natural disinfectant. And don’t throw your bedding in the dryer with your towels. Terrycloth retains a lot of moisture from the wash cycle and can extend drying time on your sheets.
