So, the question still lingers. How often should we wash our bed sheets? The answer is weekly.

Tierno reveals that debris and other not-so-fun things begin to accumulate in your bedding between one and two weeks. Because of this, your sheets should be washed at least once per week. If you go over the two-week mark, it’s not going to kill you.

Thankfully, you only need to wash your comforter every six months or so.

Be sure to spread awareness and let your friends know to was their pillows and bed sheets at least twice a month. Have a happy and hygienic sleep!
