Somewhat counterintuitively, however, on average men wait 12 days to wash their sheets after sexual activity while women only waited 4.

So where exactly is the sweet sleep spot? According to some experts you're best off washing your bedsheets once a week (and our pillowcases weekly) for optimal cleanliness and allergen prevention. Plus, you shed skin and sweat into your sheets every single night, for hours. So in addition to washing more regularly, you may want to consider upgrading your detergent or even ordering some new (top-rated) bedsheets.
