For example, some people will wash and clean their whole body before going to bed, reducing the amount of dust, dandruff and grease brought to the bed; while some people ignore these and go to bed directly, so that the sheets are more likely to get dirty and need to be changed more frequently.

In addition, the amount of daily sweating also has an impact. For people who do physical labor or have a high metabolism and sweat easily, the sweat secreted by the skin will quickly penetrate into the sheets, which not only makes the sheets damp, but also provides an ideal environment for bacteria to grow. Such people should change their sheets more frequently.

Living environment

The living environment has a significant impact on the frequency of changing sheets. If you live in a place with poor air quality and a lot of dust, or keep pets at home, hair, dander and dust will adhere to the sheets in large quantities, causing the sheets to get dirty faster.

In this case, it is necessary to shorten the cycle of changing sheets; on the contrary, if the living environment is clean and tidy and well ventilated, the sheets will get dirty relatively slowly, and the frequency of changing can be appropriately reduced.
