Changing my bed sheets, pyjamas, underwears, and towels???  

How often must we change our bed sheets???? 
Regardless of how many times we clean our sheets, bacteria multiplication is inevitable. How often should we change our bed sheet? A survey in Great Britain in 2014 revealed that 35% of people changed their bed sheets every 2 weeks, 8% every 3 months, and 10% once a month. Others would change their sheets maybe every 2 months...

Clean your bed sheets regularly to destroy bacteria!
In order to do so, you need to evaluate your patterns of behavior in the bedroom. Sleeping with your pajama is different from sharing the bed and sleeping naked. If you take a shower- before going to bed- and wear a pyjama, the recommendation is to change your bed sheets every 2 weeks( PasseportSante.net).
Some people have night sweats, especially those who have certain conditions( menopause, hormone changes, fever, infections, neurological disorders, cancers, medications, or just body heat....). The perspiration environment is very favorable to mites multiplication. Medical scientists explain that mites feed up of dead skins lost at night during sleep.

In light of this, changing bed sheets regularly allows to maintain a clean and safe environment and get rid of mites. Mites evolve in muggy and humid environment. Bacteria can cause diseases like asthma, eczema, allergies, rhinitis, etc....
 What temperature should we wash our bed sheets to make sure that mites disappear completely?

It is recommended to wash sheets at 140 degrees Fahrenheit especially for those sensitive skins. That way we can ensure complete destruction of mites. You must buy sheets that can resist the heat. Bed sheets in cotton are preferable because they resist perspiration. Additionally sleeping in an environment cool and dry will help reduce the multiplication of mites.

Duvets and pillows 

Should be washed few times a year. Duvets can be replaced every 5 years, and pillows more often 2 or 3 years. Duvets can carry live and dead mites, flaky skins and fungus, which are responsible for certain allergies like conjunctivitis, rhinitis, etc... 

Underwears
How often should we wash our underwears....??? 
After every single wear without exception, we must wash our underwear and replace them yearly. We are all exposed to bacteria, fungus, mycosis, and urinary tract infections. Machine wash, bleach detergent, and hot water do a good job in getting rid of potential foreigners. 

Pyjama
The recent survey indicated that young men between 18 and 30 years of age would wear the same pyjama for 13 nights and young women 17 nights before cleaning them. Pyjamas are in direct contact with the skin- and we lose skin cells, filled with microorganisms( Bloomfield research). These organisms are benign until they are placed in conditions where they become a threat( E-coli bacteria transferring from the urinary tract to bowel causing cystitis).   

Dish clothes in our kitchen>>>>

They must be washed regularly, at least every night after usage. I'm guilty of that also. I don't wash mine every night!!!! The advice is to air or tumble dry your kitchen clothes 

Towels

Bath towels also absorb dead skin cells and natural bacteria from our bodies. Towels kept in humidity conditions, increase the likelihood of bacteria to thrive.
