How often should we be washing our pyjamas?
A new survey conducted by Pretty You London found that two thirds of the UK population (68 per cent) aren't washing their pyjamas regularly, with only 32 per cent of Brits washing their night clothes within the recommended frequency of under four wears.
With 32.5 per cent washing nightwear after a week’s wear, the remaining 35.5 per cent leave it two weeks or longer between washes – and, 7.5 per cent actually leave it longer than once a month.
If that's not shocking enough, 41 per cent of women and 50 per cent of men said they would only change their nightwear if they noticed it was giving off a bad odour.
The poll of 1,000 people also discovered a gap between the washing habits of certain age groups. For example, 42 per cent of under 25-year-olds who were asked only washed their pyjamas once a month or less. In contrast, one in 10 of 45-year-olds washed theirs after every night.
So how often should we be washing our nightwear?
According to the Clean Living Institute, sleepwear should be changed and washed after three to four wears. It is recommended they are changed regularly to reduce the risk of dust mites, bed bugs and other germs that can cling to our nightwear as we sleep. Similar to our towels, pyjamas can gather a lot of dirt.
During the night, our body can shed millions of skin cells and produce other bodily bacteria. Our health is important, so the research shows it's vital to adopt a habit of changing our sleepwear often.
'Our research has exposed some shocking results about how dirty the nation’s nightwear is. Given the fact that we wear night clothes for around 7-8 hours every night, and that our bodies expel night-time sweat, it’s definitely an area where people should try to be more hygienic,' Rebecca Brown from Pretty You London explains.
'Some fabrics are better than others at withstanding night-time dirt. Bamboo Viscose, for example, is anti-bacterial and has odour protection, limiting some of the health problems that have been associated with unclean nightwear. It is also hypoallergenic, meaning it is super sensitive and gentle against the skin.'
