How Often Should I Wash My Sheets- A Guide to Fresh, Healthy Living

How Often Should You Clean Household Linen?

Keeping household linen clean is essential for maintaining a fresh, hygienic home. From bed linen to carpets and curtains, regular cleaning helps remove dust, allergens, and bacteria that accumulate over time. But how often should you clean these items, and what's the best way to do it? Here's a guide to help you keep your home fresh while using eco-friendly cleaning methods.

Bed Linen ( Sheets & Pillowcases)

Ideally, wash once a week. Bed sheets absorb sweat, oils and dead skin cells, which can attract dust mites. Regular cleaning helps maintain hygiene and prolongs fabric life.

Duvets & Pillowcases

Clean every 3-6 months. Even with pillowcases, pillows and duvets collect dust, allergens, and bacteria. Professional eco-friendly dry cleaning ensures deep cleaning without using harsh chemicals.

Curtains & Drapes

Wash or dry clean every 3-6months. Curtains trap dust, pet hair and airborne pollutants. Ecofriendly cleaning methods remove allergens without fading or damaging delicate fabrics.

Carpets & Rugs

Vacuum weekly and deep clean every 6-12 months. Carpets harbor dirt, bacteria and allergens. Steam cleaning or ecofriendly dry cleaniing eliminates stains and refreshes fibres without toxic chemicals.

Why Choose Eco-Friendly Cleaning Methods? 

Traditional cleaning methods often use harsh detergents and chemical-based cleaning solvents like perchloroethylene ( PERC), which can be harmful to both health and the environment. At Ecofresh, we use non-toxic, biodegrabable cleaning solutions that:

• are safe for children, pets and allergy sufferers
• preserve the softness and colour of fabrics
• reduce water and energy waste
• avoid harmful chemical residues in your home
