It is advisable to change the pillowcase even more often - once every 3-4 days.
Why you need to change your pillowcase often
By absorbing sweat, makeup residue, and dead skin cells every night, pillowcases create the perfect breeding ground for dust mites and other bacteria.
Because pillowcases harbor bacteria and dust mites, if not washed, they pose an increased risk of asthma, bronchitis, allergies and other skin problems.
How to clean
Wash removable pillowcases and covers in warm water (temperature up to 40 degrees), with mild detergents, wring without twisting, dry away from heating devices and radiators.
Before washing, you must turn the pillowcase inside out to avoid snags on the surface of the material.
How to remove yellowness from colored pillowcases
Soda. For soaking, take 5 tablespoons of baking soda and 2.5 ammonia, which are diluted in 5 liters of water.
The laundry is left in the solution for 2 hours, then washed in the machine; there is no need to rinse the soda first.
If the pillowcases are very yellow, add soda to the container where the bed will be boiled.
