Wash pillows and duvet

Why this matters

Why bother?

Pillows accumulate dust mites, dead skin, and oil — a 2-year-old pillow can be 10% body fluids and dust mites by weight. Yes, really.

How often

Pillows every 3 months. Duvet every 6 months. Replace pillows every 1-2 years.

Pro tip

Most pillows are machine washable on gentle cycle. Tumble dry with two tennis balls to keep them fluffy.
