Change That Bed Linen

How To Keep Your Bedding Soft and Fresh

Maybe you've wonder about this.  We certainly get questions from customers about how to best take care of their bed linens. 

Just how often should be linen be changed to assure years of use. You might also wonder how often to change linen if you have an allergy sufferer in your home.

It depends...

How often bed linens should be changed depends on several different things. Every person sheds skin every day and every night, resulting in bits of dead skin to be on bed linens after a night's sleep. It would be very nice to have bed linen changed daily for completely freshness, but for most people this is impractical and virtually impossible with a busy daily schedule.

Probably the only people who have a housekeeping staff can enjoy the luxury of fresh sheets and pillowcases being replaced daily.

In general, a good homemaker changes bed linens at least once per week. However, if experiencing night sweats or hot flashes, it may be best to change them more frequently. Assuming that the people who sleep in the bed shower before bedtime, that they do not eat or drink in bed and cause spills, or that the bed linen becomes dirty more quickly for any other reason, weekly linen changes are normally sufficient.

Some people prefer to change their bed linen twice weekly to ensure their sheets always feel fresh and snuggly. This can be very useful during the warmer months, especially if you keep your home warmer to save energy. In winter, these same people often prefer to allow the sheets to stay on the bed a few more days since body perspiration is less likely.

Anyone who has allergies should change their bed linen as often as possible. Dust mites and other allergens collect on bed linen and can aggravate the allergies causing runny noses, stuffed sinuses, and other problems that last all day long.

In fact, some people with the most severe allergies are forced to change bed linens each day to prevent suffering after sleeping on day-old bed linens. So, the answer to the question of how often should bed linens be changed really depends on your lifestyle, your health, and your personal preferences.

However, you should never leave bed linen on the bed longer than one week. It's usually best to own at least 3 sets of bed linens. One for the bed...one in the linen closet and one in the laundry.
