Because of the coronavirus , were all thinking about personal hygiene more than ever and not just washing our hands, but also our hair , face masks , clothing and bedding, too.

The truth is that if you asked a handful of people how often they washed their sheets and bedding before coronavirus, youd probably get a range of different answers. Some people might stick to once a week, others every two weeks, some even if theyd admit it once a month.

But is there a hard and fast rule about how often to wash sheets to keep things as clean and healthy as possible? According to dermatologists and doctors, yes. And now that being aware of COVID-19 is part of our daily lives, there are new rules when it comes to washing bedding.
