In the guest room, I wash them about once a month. The top blanket once every two weeks. In our bedroom I wash all our bedding at least once a week in hot water and bleach (or color safe bleach). With bedding that you frequently use, you need to wash often because of dust mites. They are gross. Look at pictures of them.. EWWW!!How often should bed sheets be washed to avoid dust?
I wash ours usually once a week sometimes twice. My daughter has a dust allergy so she also has her mattress covered with a dust mattress cover and that seems to help. Also we wash them on the hottest wash cycle~ that is what really kills the dust mites.
If you have a problem with dust, wash the sheets once a week in hot water. That will kill the dustmites. Things such a covers or quilts can go once a month.
In my bedroom I wash the bedding about once a month but we sleep on them so no dust. In the guestroom, I wash them and leave them on clean and only rewash when I know company is coming so they smell dryer fresh where they sleep.
I say once a week to keep dust mites down. The more dead skin flaked off from your body the more dust mites you'll have and be breathing in etc..
One can never avoid dust. However it depends how much activity your sheets get?
i wash my sheets once a week in summer and twice a month in winter
