HOW BAD IS IT TO NOT WASH YOUR SHEETS EVERY WEEK?

No one loves laundry day, but lying in a petri dish of germs and bacteria is even less appealing.  We tend to believe that our homes are clean, cozy places. No matter how vigilant you are with house cleaning, some places still fill with undesirable dust mites, fungal elements, fecal matter, pollen, dander, and dead human cells. Gross! What’s worse, one of those hotbeds of germs is the very place you rest for a sweet slumber. That’s right—your bed.  Your bed sheets collect gross particles - Some of the 500 million cells we shed daily, along with our perspiration, pollen, pet dander, fungi, and mold, are all snuggling in bed with us at night. Your sheets also accumulate oil, sweat, dirt, and makeup, according to Joshua Zeichner, MD, the director of cosmetic and clinical research in dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City. “Not washing your sheets regularly puts all of this in close contact with your skin for several hours at a time while you sleep,” he says. “This can lead to a variety of problems ranging from skin irritation to acne to possibly even infections in a worst-case scenario.” Generally speaking, Dr. Zeichner recommends washing your sheets once per week, or  more if there is any visible spoiling. If that isn’t enough to inspire you to wash your bed sheets regularly, consider that more than 84 percent of beds in America have dust mites, and they love to live in our sheets and feed off of our dead skin. Although experts recommend washing sheets at least once a week, even knowing there are dust mites might not motivate some people to wash their sheets. In a survey by home textile company Coyuchi, only 44 percent of surveyors wash their sheets once or twice a month. Another survey, from Mattress Advisor, found that surveyors waited around 25 days before cleaning or changing out their sheets—18 days too long.   And remember, sleep is as important to your physical and mental health as food and water.  Your bed should be your oasis at the end of a hard day -- keep it clean people!!!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Valentine's Day, refers to the day of Saint Valentine or the Feast of Saint Valentine, celebrated by most of the countries around the world.  It is expressed in a record of "Saint Valentine" of Rome, that was detained for performing weddings for warriors who were not allowed to marry.  When he was imprisoned, he wrote a letter to the daughter of the jailer marked, "Your Valentine".  In remembrance of Saint Valentine, February 14th is celebrated every year.  From all of us here at Homeland Realty Group, Happy Valentine's Day to you and your love!!!
