If you're like most people, you only think about washing your sheets when you spill something on them. Ok. That may be an exaggeration. But the truth is we don't wash them as often as we should. Readers Digest says we should wash them once *** week. I didn't know that. Did you? And they're right. We could easily spend about 60 hours *** week in them. Would you wear *** shirt or jeans for 60 hours and not wash them to be fair? The Cleveland Clinic says that if you sleep alone, don't have pets and live in *** climate controlled home, you can probably get away with washing your sheets every two weeks. But don't get me started on what happens if you don't exposure to pollen and fungi can worsen asthma and allergy symptoms, then there's triggers to dermatitis and eczema. No, no, no, I'm gonna stop right there. Just do me *** favor. No. Do you *** favor and go wash those 60 hour old sheets.
