How Often Should You Wash Your Sheets? | Clean Right Laundromat Blog

Keeping your bed sheets clean isn’t just about freshness — it’s about better sleep, healthier skin, and a more comfortable home. At Clean Right Laundromat, we often get asked: How often should you really wash your sheets? Here’s the simple answer and some expert tips.

🛏️ The General Rule: Once Per Week

Most experts recommend washing your sheets every 7 days. During the week, sheets collect:

• Sweat and body oils

• Dead skin cells

• Dust mites

• Pet hair and dander

• Allergens and bacteria

Weekly washing keeps your sleeping environment clean and helps prevent odors and skin irritation.

⏰ Wash More Often If You…

You may want to wash your sheets every 3–4 days if:

• You sweat heavily at night

• You sleep with pets

• You have allergies or asthma

• Someone is sick

• You eat or drink in bed

Frequent washing keeps germs from building up and helps you sleep better.

🧺 Wash Less Often If…

You might stretch to every 10–14 days if:

• You shower before bed

• You wear clean pajamas

• You rarely sweat

• No pets sleep in the bed

Still, weekly washing is best for overall hygiene.

🌡️ Best Way to Wash Sheets

For the cleanest results:

✔ Use warm or hot water (check fabric labels)
✔ Wash sheets separately from towels
✔ Avoid overloading the washer
✔ Dry completely to prevent mildew
✔ Fold or store immediately

Large comforters and bulky bedding wash best in high-capacity laundromat machines.
