In our busy daily lives, it’s easy to overlook these small gestures that can make all the difference. Some seemingly harmless objects become veritable breeding grounds for germs over time or lose their effectiveness. But how often should they be replaced? You might be surprised…
Bedding: wash weekly for a peaceful night’s sleep
Our sheets are home to much more than just our dreams! Every night, sweat, dead skin cells, and sebum settle on them, attracting dust mites and allergens. To maintain impeccable hygiene and enjoy restful sleep, a weekly wash at 60°C is recommended. A simple, yet very effective step .
Towels: every 3 days, not one more!
Often damp, rarely left alone in the bathroom, towels are veritable breeding grounds for bacteria . To limit unpleasant odors and avoid skin irritations, a machine wash every three days is essential. And if you share a bathroom, be even more vigilant!
Curtains: cleaning every 6 months is sufficient
We open them, we close them… but we forget about them! However, curtains capture dust and pollen that enter through the windows. Machine washing or dry cleaning them twice a year helps keep your interior fresh and breathable. Bonus: it also gives your decor a new lease of life!
Pillows: change every 1 to 2 years
