Bedding is an essential household item that comes into regular touch with your skin. It will eventually acquire dust and produce yellow stains. If left unchecked or washed infrequently, it can become a breeding ground for foul odors and dangerous bacteria.
Why Does Bedding Turn Yellow, Get Dirty, and Smell?
The human body naturally produces oil and sweat, particularly in men, where hormonal changes drive sebaceous and sweat glands to become more active.
When you lie or sit on your mattress, these fluids accumulate, creating discolouration and dirt buildup. Furthermore, germs might flourish, producing unpleasant odors.
The Dangers of Not Washing Your Bedding
As bacteria and odors grow on unwashed bedding, they can transfer back onto your skin while you sleep, causing allergies, itching, and red spots.
In some cases, dirty bedding provides the perfect environment for mites to reproduce. Mites are considered the “enemy” of healthy skin, causing infections, rashes, and prolonged irritation upon contact.
