Our beds are where we sleep every night. But did you know that tiny bugs called dust mites live there too? These bugs eat the dead skin we leave behind.
Bacteria also grow in our sheets. Some can make us sick if we're not careful. Hospitals know this, so they wash sheets often to keep patients safe.
Changing your sheets every week is a good idea. It helps remove dust mites and bacteria. This can make your bed cleaner and healthier for you to sleep in.
