Sheets should be washed weekly to avoid a buildup of dust mites, bacteria, and mold. This is especially critical during hot summer months due to increased humidity and temperatures, which can worsen the smell and cleanliness of bed linens. Bedding accumulates sweat, skin cells, and bacteria quickly, leading to millions of bacteria developing after only one week. Experts recommend considering more frequent washing for those with allergies or sensitive skin, treating bedding similarly to clothing in terms of hygiene.
Certified Sleep Science Coach McKenzie Hyde revealed that higher temperatures as well as higher humidity during the summer can exacerbate issues that turn your freshly laundered sheets into less-than-sweet-smelling linens in a recent study.
Dr. Nilong Viyas, MD, MPH, states that sheets and pillowcases collect sweat, skin cells, and bacteria quickly. Our testing showed that after just one week, pillowcases and sheets harbor millions of bacteria.
