Pillowcases ‘should be changed every other day’

EVEN to the most houseproud, it might seem a tad excessive.

But according to a cleaning expert we should change our pillowcases every other day to avoid developing clogged pores and blemishes.

Shannon Lush, author of Spotless and Speed Cleaning, said: ‘If you’re showering once a day, you can wash your sheets weekly.

‘ Pillowcases should be changed every second day without fail.

‘It’s against your face, and your hair holds more dirt than anywhere else on the body. It’s like a mop.’

Miss Lush, who is from Australia, told the website news. com.au: ‘Most people don’t wash their pillows enough, and it’s really vile.

‘The pillow is a major cause of blackheads.’
