Many people are unsure how often they should wash everyday items like bedding, towels, and clothes. Washing too often can wear out fabrics, while washing too little can lead to odors, bacteria buildup, and skin irritation.
Knowing the right laundry routine helps keep your home fresh, your clothes lasting longer, and your family healthy. Here’s a simple guide to help you maintain proper laundry hygiene — without overdoing it.

How Often Should You Wash Bedding?
Bedsheets and pillowcases collect sweat, body oils, dust, and allergens every night. Even if they look clean, they may not be hygienic.
Experts recommend washing:
• Bedsheets and pillowcases: once every 1–2 weeks
• Duvet covers: every 2–4 weeks
• Pillows: every 3–6 months
If you sweat heavily, have allergies, or share your bed, weekly washing is best. Using a professional laundry service in Nairobi ensures your bedding is cleaned thoroughly and gently.

How Often Should You Wash Towels?
Towels absorb moisture and skin cells, creating a perfect environment for bacteria if not washed regularly.
Recommended towel washing frequency:
• Bath towels: every 3–4 uses
• Hand towels: every 1–2 days
• Gym towels: after every use
Allow towels to dry completely between uses to prevent mildew. For busy households, laundry pickup and delivery in Nairobi can make towel washing effortless and consistent.

How Often Should You Wash Clothes?
Clothing washing frequency depends on how often and how intensely items are worn.
General guidelines:
• Underwear & socks: after one use
• T-shirts: after 1–2 wears
• Jeans: after 3–5 wears
• Office wear: after 1–2 wears
• Jackets & coats: once per season or as needed
Overwashing clothes can cause fading and fabric damage. Proper washing methods and fabric care help extend the life of your wardrobe.
