Bedsheets vs. Pillowcases: Health and Routine

Bedding accumulates dust that can hold bacteria, spores, and allergens. Dust mites feed on shed skin cells, adding risk. Wash sheets about every ten days to maintain a healthy sleep space.

Pillowcases need more frequent cleaning because they contact facial oils, makeup, and bacteria. Wash at least weekly to help protect skin and hygiene.
