Cleaning Your Bed Is Not Just About Hygiene—It’s About Health!
Your bed isn’t just for sleeping. Sometimes it’s a reading corner, a place for intimacy, or even an improvised dining area. In short, we spend a lot of time in bed—often more than just at night. That’s why it’s essential to change your sheets at least once a week and follow a proper cleaning and disinfection routine. Doing so helps prevent a wide range of infections, irritations, and viruses.
This is the advice of Dr. Lisa Ackerley, a hygiene expert, as published in The Daily Mail.
“Depending on how you use your bed, and how clean you keep it, it may actually be causing serious harm to your body,” she explains.
Dr. Ackerley outlines the potential health risks associated with a poorly maintained bed:
⚠️ Risks of Poor Bed Hygiene
-
Bacterial Infections
Germs build up in linens from body fluids, sweat, saliva, and skin cells. -
Fungal Infections
Dirty sheets can transmit fungi like athlete’s foot and Candida albicans. -
Viruses
Flu and colds can linger in bed linens and easily spread through contact. -
Dust Mite Allergies
Dust mites feed on dead skin and can trigger allergies, asthma, or rhinitis.
