Maintaining the purity of the bed is a key aspect of daily hygiene, which often remains unnoticed. However, according to experts in microbiology, no change in sheets can cause sheets.
The accumulation of bacteria, ticks and other microorganisms is factors that affect health, generate allergies and inconvenience in breathing.
Given this situation, experts in this area reported how often it is necessary to change the sheets and what are the best methods for the effective elimination of microbes.
At the same time, they also made it clear that there are certain conditions that require more attention and more frequent cleaning.
How often should I change the sheets
During sleep, the body produces dead cells, sweat and other waste that accumulates in sheets, in favor of the proliferation of microorganisms.
According to the article by El Confidencial, Dr. Lisa Akerli and microbiologist Philip Tirno recommended changing sheets at least once a week to avoid these risks.
In addition to frequency, the leaf washing method is also important
Nevertheless, there are situations in which more frequent flushing is required, as in the case if there were excess night sweating, the presence of pets in bed and coexistence with infectious diseases.
Nevertheless, the washing method is also crucial for the elimination of bacteria. Studies show that flushing at 30 ° C discards only a small percentage of microorganisms, while rinsing 60 ° C is much more efficient to guarantee deep cleaning.
The best methods for washing sheets
The washing process is necessary to ensure that the sheets do not contain microbes and allergens. To optimize cleaning, experts recommend:
- Use flushing programs at temperatures above 60 ° C.
- Avoid overloading the washing machine to ensure the correct movement of water and detergent.
- Rinse pillows, lids and soft periodically, as they also accumulate bacteria and ticks.
