How Often Should You Actually Wash Your Sheets?
Dermatologists say once a week. Here is why it matters more than you think — and how a pickup service makes it effortless.
If you only take one piece of advice from this post, let it be this: wash your sheets every 7 days.
Over the course of a week, a single pillowcase collects sweat, skin cells, hair products, and dust mites. Multiply that by eight hours of contact a night and it becomes clear why clean sheets are one of the easiest upgrades to your sleep quality.
The good news: a pickup-and-delivery service like Ghost Laundry makes weekly sheet days painless. Drop your set in the bag on pickup day, sleep on your backup set for one night, and wake up to fresh, folded linens.
Pro tip: rotate two sets of sheets so you always have a clean one ready while the other is on its way back from the wash.
