Bedsheets vs. Pillowcases: Cleaning Routines and Health Impacts

Bedding gathers dust, which can contain bacteria, spores, and other allergens that may trigger health issues. Dust mites consume skin cells, increasing the danger. To maintain your sleeping space healthy, wash your bedding every ten days.

Pillowcases require even more regular washing because they contact your face and gather oils, makeup, and bacteria. Washing pillowcases at least once weekly helps avoid skin issues and preserves hygiene.
