You should wash your bedsheets at least once a week. However, optimal bed sheet cleaning depends on usage. For instance, if you have stained the bedsheet with your sweat or food, wash it immediately.

The best way to wash bed sheets is on a delicate cycle with mild detergent and cold water preferably under 30°C.

Removing stains from bed sheets is a task easier said than done. Your best bet is to remove the stain before it sets by rubbing the spot with plain water and a soft cloth. If the stain has set, soak that part of the sheet in warm water and then wash with a special stain-removing soap like Vanish.

Storing a clean bed sheet right is one of the tricks for bed sheet care that is mastered by only a few. Never store clean bedsheets with used ones. Store bed sheets in a breathable fabric bag. Neatly fold the sheet after ironing to keep the wrinkles minimal.

How often you should replace your bed sheets absolutely depends on the usage and bed sheet thread count as well as material and care taken for maintenance. On average, most bedsheets should be replaced every 3-5 years or if you see visible signs like holes, rough skin-feel, and discoloration.
