Changing into pajamas when sleeping can not only ensure the comfort of sleeping, but also avoid bringing bacteria and dust on outdoor clothes to the bed. But do you remember the last time you washed your pajamas was a few days ago?
A survey shows that men wear a set of pajamas for nearly two weeks on average before washing, while women wear a set of pajamas for as long as 17 days! Although the survey results have limitations, it reflects to a certain extent that many people in life ignore the frequency of Pajama cleaning. Wearing the same set of pajamas repeatedly for more than ten days without washing can easily cause diseases, which should be paid attention to.
reasons why Pajama hygiene is neglected
After a survey of the respondents, it was found that there were various reasons why people didn’t wash their pajamas regularly.
More than half of the women said that in fact, they did not have pajamas, but had several sets of pajamas to wear alternately, but it was easy to forget when the pajamas they were wearing were taken out of the wardrobe; Some women think that they wear pajamas for a few hours every night, do not “flirt” outside, smell no peculiar smell, and do not need to be cleaned regularly; Some women feel that this suit is more comfortable to wear than other pajamas, so they don’t need to wash it.
More than 70% of men said that they never wash their pajamas and put them on their bodies when they saw clothes on them; Others think that pajamas are not worn many times, and they won’t smell if they have a peculiar smell. Their partners also think that they are OK, so there’s no problem. Why do you have to wash them!
pajamas are easy to get sick if they are not washed for a long time.
In fact, if pajamas are worn for too long but not cleaned regularly, the risk of skin disease and cystitis will increase, and even Staphylococcus aureus will be easily infected.
People’s skin will shed a lot of dandruff every moment, and pajamas directly contact the skin, so naturally there will be a lot of dandruff left, and these dandruffs often carry many bacteria.
Usually, these bacteria are harmless to the human body, but they can enter the skin or wounds, and a little carelessness may cause other infections.
For example, many people will carry Staphylococcus aureus, which is easy to cause infection once they come into contact with scraped or cut wounds; There are Escherichia coli in the human intestine, most of which are harmless to the human body, but if they enter the urinary tract, they will induce urinary tract infection and lead to cystitis; Some people are more difficult to treat if they carry methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
pajamas are best washed once a week
Changing and washing your pajamas frequently can keep you away from the invasion of bacteria. Wash your pajamas at least once a week. Otherwise, once the bacteria on the pajamas spread, they will also easily cause diseases. For example, when you change your pajamas into another clothes, these bacteria on the pajamas will also spread to other clothes. In particular, families with more family members or shared rooms with more people are more likely to be called places where bacteria spread and protect themselves.
Therefore, no matter how busy your life is, don’t forget to clean your pajamas regularly, which is conducive to keeping yourself in a relatively clean and hygienic environment when you sleep, and avoid letting bacteria enter.
