Why change bed linen every week?

Most people on Earth spend a third of their lives in a dream - which is why most of us should be washed bedding more often than that is happening today. Experts have named several good reasons why should to them .

Washing and changing linen is a routine that does not like many, but science suggests that most people on the planet should be changed bedding more often. In fact, experts advise you to change sheets once a week or a maximum of two weeks. Studies show that the average person spends about a third of his in a dream - simple words, people spend an incredible amount in bed . However, according to New York biologist Philip Tierno, sweat, dead skin cells and dust mites, among other things, turn our beds into a " botanical park" of bacteria and fungi. Researchers say that these unwanted neighbors can provoke a number of problems, in particular: eczema; allergy; asthma.

According to Dietar, all these bacteria and fungi are able to make you sick, even if you usually do not suffer from allergies. Hence the recommendation of scientists: Wash bedding once a week . A certified psychologist, Dr. Lindsey Browning notes that regular washing is especially important in the summer months. During this period people sweat a little more, and therefore can face additional problems . For example, hay fever or pollen. Other factors that indicate the need for more frequent bedding washing : the presence of animals; abundant sweating; allergy; asthma; the clothes you sleep in

Senior teacher of microbiology at Westminster University, Dr. Manal Mohammad recommends to wash bedding at a warm or high temperature 40-60 ° C. The expert also advises to change pillowcases every few days and " ventilate " the bed every morning- rejecting the sheets in the morning .

A study of British scientists has shown that less than a third of the British is wiped bedding weekly - 28%, slightly more than every two weeks - 36%, every tenth confessing that she changes sheets only once a month. In 2022 , scientists also found that 45% of lonely men left their sheets unrelated for up to four months.
