Each of us has held worn clothing in our hands and wondered if we should wear it one more time or put it in the washing machine. Not everyone knows all the rules for washing. For example, you need to wash some clothing inside out, because it absorbs bodily fluids which are primarily inside. And sometimes our stuff is much dirtier than it looks.

Of course, we shower and stay up on our hygiene, but our skin has natural oils and sweat, and they get the clothes dirty! And what about bed sheets and pillowcases? They should be washed every at least 2 weeks. Remember that you shed dead skin while you sleep, and you know what loves to munch on that? The dust mites in your bed! (Good luck falling asleep tonight! Heh-heh!)
