Your bedroom serves as the title of its own chapter in the book of your life, where you unwind and relax after a long and draining day. However, did you know that that same bedsheet which brings you comfort could be detrimental to your health if not cleaned and changed frequently? In the following text, we highlight five reasons why you should make it a point to change your bedsheets on a weekly basis:
1. Maintain Hygiene and Avoid Bacteria Build-Up
With each passing night, we lose some skin, sweat, and natural oils—not to mention whatever makeup you could be wearing—hence, these get absorbed by the bedsheet. Skin shedding along with the aforementioned compounds creates an ideal bacteria and fungus breeding environment. If you fall under the bracket of ‘those who love procrastinating change their bedsheets’, you run the risk of acquiring acne, skin allergies and, worst of them, infections. Regularly changing bedsheets helps maintain hygiene whilst simultaneously protecting your skin from these ghastly outcomes.
2. Lower allergies and Breathing Problems
Most bed covers one could come across with are prone to collecting dust, pet fur and even small dust insects which could directly result in allergies. This problem escalates for children as well the elderly resulting in uncontrollable asthma or sinus problems. Changing and washing your bedsheets on a weekly basis greatly reduces the level of these allergens in addition to the qualitative improvement in clean air which would make breathing in while asleep much easier.
3. Maintain Skin Health
Your skin comes into contact with the bedsheet fabric 24/7 while you sleep. If the fabric is dirty, it can lead to breakouts or skin irritation as it can trap dirt and debris within your pores. It is important to keep your skin healthy and fresh, and clean bedsheets contribute to that. Bedsheets also contribute to a more comfortable sleeping experience.
4. Enhance Sleep Quality
Clean fresh sheets can alter your comfort level and mental relaxation level, which promotes better concentration, sleep quality, and rest. Dirty sheets on the contrary can be uncomfortable and highly distracting, leading to restless breaks rather than quality rest.
5. Feel and Look Fresh In Your Bedroom
Regularly changing your bedsheets can improve the interior design of your house and bedroom. An increment of a clean bed adds drastically to the overall appearance of the home while maintaining a good mood and outlook. SHIFTING from a SO so to a WOW life is initiated with a clean atmosphere.
