Hygiene: Wash your sheets

Only you and your washing machine know what happens on your sheets. Be thankful your washing machine can't talk.

The reason for washing your sheets isn't for the sole reason of it being time to wash them. Nor do you wash them just because they smell. Ask yourself honestly how often you wash your sheets. If it's once every two weeks, then congrats! Congratulations on finding something you need to change about your personal life. Frankly, you should wash your sheets at least once a week if not every few days. Think about it in comparison to brushing your teeth or washing your body. We wash our bodies about once a day, cleaning off the germs from the days or past evenings events. In addition to washing our bodies, we rarely wear the same dirty clothes. Humans don't sit in their filth so why sleep in it?

Even if you claim to be the cleanliest individual you know, part of that cleanliness is being aware of when it's time to wash your sheets. Maybe you only shower in the mornings, so your filth accumulates throughout the day and by the time you hit your bed, you'd have a days worth of germs on you. Let's say that you break this trend by showering at night. While that may be a temporary fix, but again, still doesn't mean you wouldn't accumulate germs in the evening. Losing skin or hair whilst you sleep could add to the long list of germs in your bed. This also doesn't include any tendencies you might have in your sleep.

The punchline of this post lies in the first paragraph. If you read the rest, thanks for supporting me, but also they were just deeper explanations for why you should clean up your living space. You don't shit where you eat, so why shit where you sleep?
