A HYGIENE expert has revealed how often you should be washing your pyjamas. <\/p>\n
And the science behind why they need regular washing might make you want to chuck your current pair in the laundry basket ASAP.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As autumn creeps in, millions of Brits are going to be slipping into their cosiest PJs every night.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But they might not be washing them as often as they should be.\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to physician editor Neha Pathak, your night clothes are collecting all kinds of nasties from your skin AND environment every moment you're wearing them.<\/p>\n
And if you\u2019re sleeping in them, \u201cthey\u2019re collecting sweat, body oils, dead skin cells and potentially allergens and bacteria that may then accumulate\u201d all night.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a general rule of thumb, washing regularly is important,\u201d Neha tells Today.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow frequently depends on personal preference taking into account these factors for your own personal comfort level.\u201d<\/p>\n
The recommended frequency to wash your pyjamas is anywhere between one and three wears.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re a sweaty sleeper, washing your PJs after every wear is your best bet.<\/p>\n
