Every week, every month … You may be wondering when to change your child’s sheets? Here is our answer!
The bedroom is a living room that requires the most rigorous of hygiene. Depending on his age, a child will spend 8 to 12 hours in his bed, so it is important to respect the washing cycles.
Without a precise pace of change, your children’s sheets can quickly turn into a giant playground for bacteria, germs and mites. Indeed, during the night your child sweats, creating a humid space favorable to the multiplication of germs. Each night on his sheets, your cherub will deposit hair, dust, hair and dead skin cells, creating an ideal space for the proliferation of bacteria and mites.
In addition to its unhygienic aspect, this situation can cause certain health concerns for the little ones. If your child has asthma or allergies, these symptoms can be increased tenfold. If not, poorly maintained sheets can cause some allergic symptoms.
To guarantee a peaceful and comfortable sleep for your child, opt for diligent hygiene.

Consider airing out the baby’s room.
The humidity that your child creates in his room cannot be evacuated properly if the room is kept closed all the time. To avoid an excessive accumulation of humidity, it is advisable to ventilate the child’s room daily, in the same way as that of an adult. The most suitable option is in the morning, when you wake up, open the room window for a minimum of 10 minutes for maximum evaporation.
Maintain a washing rhythm.
In addition to the ventilation of the room, it is crucial to maintain a regular washing rhythm. For children as for adults 2 cycles are recommended:
