| dc.description.abstract | Everyone seems to have a different opinion when it comes to how often towels and bed sheets should be washed. While many people might wonder whether days or weeks is best, in one survey from the United Kingdom, almost half of single men reported not washing their sheets for up to four months at a time. It’s fairly clear that four months is too long to leave it, but what is the ideal frequency? Bed linen and towels are quite different and so should be washed at different intervals. While every week or two will generally suffice for sheets, towels are best washed every few days. Anyway, who doesn’t love the feeling of a fresh set of sheets or the smell of a newly laundered towel? | |
