How Often Should You Wash Your Bed Sheets? Expert Recommendations
Your bed linens absorb sweat, body oils, and dust every night. Without regular washing, they create the perfect environment for dust mites and bacteria, which can affect your sleep quality and skin health.
But how often should you really wash your bedding? Here’s what the experts recommend:
How Often to Wash Your Bedding
🛏 Sheets, duvet covers & pillowcases – Every 1–2 weeks
🛏 Duvets & pillows – Every 2–3 months
🛏 Mattress protectors & toppers – Every 3 months
🛏 Bedspreads & decorative pillow covers – Every 3–6 months
You should wash your bedding weekly if you
✔ Sweat a lot or sleep without pajamas
✔ Have allergies or sensitive skin
Why Is It Important to Wash Your Bedding Regularly?
Removes Bacteria & Dust Mites
A pillow can contain up to one million dust mites if not washed regularly. These tiny organisms feed on dead skin cells and can cause allergies or breathing issues.
Improves Sleep Quality
Clean bedding helps regulate body temperature, ensuring a deeper and more restful sleep.
Reduces Acne & Skin Problems
Unwashed sheets collect dirt, oil, and bacteria, which can clog pores and cause breakouts or irritation.
How to Properly Wash Your Bed Linens
✔ Temperature: Wash at 40°C to kill bacteria while protecting the fabric. Our factory partner, with decades of expertise in textile production, emphasizes that this is the optimal temperature to eliminate allergens and bacteria while maintaining the integrity of delicate fabrics like Supima cotton.
✔ Detergent: Use a mild, fragrance-free detergent to maintain the softness of Supima cotton and TENCEL™.
✔ Skip fabric softener: It reduces breathability and shortens fabric lifespan.
✔ Drying: Air dry when possible to protect fibers and reduce energy consumption.
✔ Ironing or Mangling: For a luxurious finish, iron or mangle sateen sheets to enhance their natural sheen.
At Juniper, we’ve worked closely with premium textile producers to develop these care recommendations, ensuring that your bedding remains as soft, breathable, and durable as the day you brought it home.
How Often Should You Wash Duvets & Pillows?
✔ Duvets: Every 3 months – Follow care instructions and air them regularly.
✔ Pillows: Every 2 months – Use a gentle cycle and tumble dry with tennis balls to maintain fluffiness.
