The real worry is dust mites. Dust mites feed on dead skin cells which are plentiful inside a bed that is slept in for an average of six to eight hours a night.
As mentioned above, tens of thousands of dust mites can be living in your bedding at any given point.Symptoms may include coughing, sneezing, skin rashes, itchy eyes, and a runny nose. Dust mites are also a very common trigger for asthma sufferers. It is therefore beneficial to your comfort and health if bedding is washed more frequently.Before getting into bed, it is a great idea to shower off any sweat from the day, therefore preventing bacteria from contaminating your sheets.
Another issue with pets sleeping on your bed is the amount of fur they can shed. With all of this excess fur, skin cells and bacteria on your sheets, it is best to wash your sheets more frequently if you sleep with pets.Changing bed sheets daily is recommended for people who are ill. Obviously, this is not the most practical option for those who are bedridden, however, it is best to wash any germs and viruses away as often as you can.
