Prevent unwanted creepy Crawlers from sharing your bed with you
Health and hospitality experts recommend washing sheets and pillowcases at least one time each week. If you don't wash your bed sheets regularly, your bedding will collect a buildup of oils, dirt, dead skin, and bacteria. The oil and dirt from your body can lead to tough stains on sheets. Your sheets also collect anything that comes off of your body—particularly dead skin, but also bacteria and pathogens. Dust mites feed on dead skin, and the feces from these microscopic insects can worsen symptoms for allergy sufferers.
