Pajamas that are used as home and sleepwear should be washed every three to four days.
This was stated by a fashion marketing expert. Harpa Gretarsdottir from the company IceWear, informs The Mirror. The closeness of the pajamas to the skin for 6-8 hours a day makes them an ideal breeding ground for germs, she said.
And since the human body loses 30-40 thousand skin cells per hour, pajamas become full of “nasty”, says the expert.
Harpa recommends washing your pajamas after 3-4 nights wearing, or after 5-7 nights, if you take a shower every night before bed. But for those who are prone to night sweats or who have especially oily skin, the expert recommends washing their pajamas every other day, or better – every day.
In this case, it is necessary to wash at a temperature above 60 degrees. At lower temperatures, Harpa Gretharsdottir recommends adding washing powder, which kills 99.9% of bacteria.
Washed pajamas should be machine-dried or air-dried and stored in a drawer or cupboard.
If you don’t wash your pajamas as often as you should, germs can come into contact with any wounds, acne and other skin problems, causing disease.
In addition, dirty pajamas can “infect” other things Next door. “[Это может затем] potentially spread harmful bacteria and fungi to the rest of your wardrobe, or even the wardrobe of your flatmates, partner or family, ”says Harpa Gretharsdottir.
