Scientist reveals pillowcase can be dirtier than toilet seat

You probably don’t need me to tell you that it’s a good idea to wash your bedding regularly, but a recent announcement by a science expert might well make laundry day seem a little more urgent.

Yep, according to a biomedical science expert, studies have shown that after just a week on the bed, a pillowcase can have more bacteria on it than your average toilet seat. Urgh, indeed.

When it comes to how often we should wash our bedding, surveys have revealed that many of us launder our sheets, duvet cover, and pillowcases every two weeks.
