The bed linen set includes pillowcases, and many people believe that it is enough to change them once a week along with the sheet and duvet cover.

Experts have their own opinion on this matter – they advise changing and washing pillowcases more often.

The housewives were told how often they need to change pillowcases and why this is so important.

How often to change

For the sake of your own health, this should be done at least once, and preferably twice a week.

First of all, this concerns people who are used to working in bed, eating, sleeping with pets, as well as people with increased sweating or oily skin.

It is also necessary to change pillowcases and the entire set of linen after recovery.

Why is this important?

In addition to skin problems (acne, allergies), you should expect problems with your hair.

Even if sweating does not bother you and your skin is not oily, you need to think about the creams that you apply to your face before going to bed.

All this remains on the pillow and hair.

How to wash a pillowcase

Before placing it in the washing machine drum, you need to turn the pillowcase inside out.

A simple tip will preserve the color and quality of the fabric.

You also need to dry the pillowcase thoroughly before putting it away on the shelf in the closet.

This habit will help you avoid the musty smell that appears on damp fabric.
