Does anyone have any clue how long they should go before washing their bed sheets?
Is there a set rule? Should we do it every day, every week, every fortnight? Honestly, who knows?
Okay, well microbiologists know. And they have decided to impart their knowledge with us! Thank you!
And the answer may have you running to put a wash on right now.
Philip revealed that you should be washing your bed sheets every week! Yup, every seven days!
Turns out that all the sweat and moisture we produce while sleeping creates an ideal fungal culture medium that, according to Philip it turns our beds into a ‘botanical park’ for bacteria and fungus.
Add to your little bacteria feeding ground all the microbes in the air, like dust, pollen and lint.
Okay, we’re off to wash our sheets right now!
