How Often Should You Wash Your Bedding in Spring?
Spring is the season of renewal, but it also brings increased allergens, pollen and dust mites into our homes. With warmer temperatures, your bedding can become a hot spot for bacteria and allergens. The good news? Wash Works offers many options to help you save time and get a cleaner result when it comes to your laundry.
So, how often should you wash your bedding in spring? The answer depends on a few things, including your allergies, pets and personal habits.
General Recommendations for Washing Bedding
The sniffling, sneezing so you can rest recommendations from your favorite laundromat, Wash Works.
Sheets and Pillowcases: Wash at least once a week to remove sweat, dead skin cells and allergens.
Duvet Covers: Wash every two to four weeks, depending on usage and exposure to allergens.
Pillows: Clean every three to six months to prevent dust mites and bacteria buildup. If your furry family member shares said pillow, wash more often.
Mattress Covers: Wash every two months to keep your mattress fresh and hygienic.
Blankets and Comforters: Wash every two to three months unless used frequently, in which case monthly washing is ideal. A duvet can be a real game changer.
The Benefit of Washing with an Ozone System
Using an ozone laundry system to wash your bedding offers numerous benefits beyond traditional detergents. Ozone is a powerful natural oxidizer that effectively removes bacteria, viruses and allergens without the need for harsh chemicals. Here’s why the ozone system at Wash Works is an excellent choice for spring cleaning:
Allergen Reduction: Ozone eliminates dust mites, mold and pollen, reducing allergy symptoms.
Eco-Friendly: It significantly reduces the need for hot water and detergent, cutting down on energy consumption and harmful chemical residues.
Odor Elimination: Ozone neutralizes odors at the molecular level, leaving bedding smelling fresher for longer.
Gentle on Fabrics: Since ozone cleans without aggressive chemicals, it helps extend the lifespan of your bedding materials.
Cost-Effective: With less detergent and energy use, an ozone system can lower laundry expenses in the long run.
Additional Tips for Keeping Bedding Fresh
Shower before bed to reduce dirt and oil transfer to sheets.
Keep pets off the bed to minimize fur and dander.
Use hypoallergenic covers to add a protective barrier against allergens.
Air out your bedroom daily by opening windows to allow proper ventilation.
