How often do you wash your sheets?

Washing your sheets regularly is a small but meaningful act of self-care that impacts both hygiene and sleep quality. Ideally, aim to wash them every 1-2 weeks-especially if you sweat a lot, have allergies, or share your bed with pets. If that feels unrealistic, start with a simple goal, like washing them once a month, and gradually increase the frequency. Pay attention to how your sheets look, smell, and feel; if they seem dull or musty, it’s time for a wash. For a deeper clean, use warm water (at least 60°C/140°F) to kill dust mites. If you struggle with consistency, set a recurring reminder or tie it to another routine, like laundry day. Remember, there’s no ‘perfect’ frequency-just what works for your lifestyle and well-being. Small steps matter!

That’s a great question! I’d love to hear more about your routine. How do you decide when it’s time to wash your sheets-is it based on a schedule, or do you notice signs like feeling sticky or smelling less fresh? Also, what’s your biggest challenge when it comes to keeping up with laundry? (Like, do you struggle with time, forgetfulness, or something else?)
