Bedsheets and Pillowcases: Health Oriented Care

Sheets accumulate dust, skin cells, and allergens including mites and spores. Wash every ten days to keep the sleep surface cleaner and reduce irritants.

Pillowcases touch facial skin and hair oils directly, collecting sebum, cosmetics, and bacteria. Wash at least weekly, more often for acne prone or sensitive skin.
