Why Bed Sheets Collect Dust
People toss and turn in their beds every night–so why do sheets collect dust? Researchers at Penn State say that dust mites live off of skin cells. Particles often come from skin cells, and the body sheds skin every night.
To get rid of dust, wash your sheets at least once every two weeks. Shake out your bedsheets when you make your bed. If possible, lower the humidity in your room. Low humidity destroys dust mites, according to allergist Myron Zitt.
