. Thirty per cent of Brits wash their bedding at least once a weekExperts at Bed Kingdom have said: "It is recommended that you wash your bedding at least once a week, as we spend 56 hours a week lying in our beds. Dust and bacteria thrive in warm environments such as your bed, so unwashed bedsheets can contribute to some nasty health or skin problems".
Dirty bed sheets can worsen the symptoms of eczema. When your sheets aren't clean, the fabric can irritate your skin when it rubs against it. Dead skin cells and dust particles can collect in your sheets and irritate your skin, especially if your bed is too warm and sweating occurs. Your bedsheets can host a range of bacteria, but pneumonia is usually caused by bacteria called Streptococcus pneumoniae. Many different types of bacteria, including Haemophilus influenza and Staphylococcus aureus, can also cause pneumonia. Washing your bedsheets regularly is the safest way to rid your bed of any bacteria living between your sheets.
Whilst acne isn't caused by bad hygiene, dirty sheets or pillowcases can be partly to blame. Embedded dirt, dead skin, and bacteria can clog your pores. The longer you wait to clean your sheets, the more bacteria can build up in your sheets, which can worsen acne on either the face or the body.
