Simple habits can help bedding stay cleaner between washes. Showering before bed, removing makeup, avoiding food in the bedroom, and allowing the bed to air out for a few minutes each morning all reduce the buildup of dirt and moisture. Keeping pets off the mattress when possible and vacuuming the mattress occasionally can also help maintain cleanliness. Always follow the care instructions on bedding labels, using the recommended water temperature and ensuring everything is completely dry before remaking the bed. For most households, washing sheets once a week offers the ideal balance between cleanliness, comfort, and convenience.
