Common bedsheet mistakes that can do 'far more harm than good'

dailyrecord.co.uk:

How often you should wash your bedsheets has become a popular point of discussion after Stacey Solomon recently brought it up.It can be a divisive subject as some believe they need to be cleaned more than they are in many households.

And there are other mistakes that could be doing "far more harm than good" according to experts.Thankfully, Deyan Dimitrov, laundry expert and CEO of Laundryheap, has shared some of the biggest mistakes that should be avoided, reports the Express.Firstly, he warns against only washing sheets when they’re visibly dirty.

The expert explained that more people than you might think do this.He said: “Unfortunately, people don’t wash their sheets as regularly as they let on - some even wash them every four months.

Waiting until your sheets are visibly dirty can allow for germs, sweat and dirt to build up over time, which doesn’t only affect the condition of your sheets, but isn’t great for health either.“As a rule of thumb, make sure to wash your sheets every two weeks to keep them in peak condition - you can even schedule your laundry with a professional service, if that helps you remember.”Deyan said there is a "common misconception" that if your sheets are extremely dirty, then they need more detergent to help them clean.
