We'll see one in four Americans are sleeping in filthy beds.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Filthy beds, filthy, how filthy?
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Eleven percent of people wash their sheets less than once
a month.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Oh my gosh, that's not me. How often do you
wash your sheets? Once a week? Same thing? Here, sheets,
the comforter, thing that I have, all of it, hello,
cases all the way down to the mattress. Once a week.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
While they're in the in the washer, I'm fabreezing the
mattress sometimes flipping it.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Wow, I don't go that far. Oh I do. My
dog sleeps with me, and that's that's part of the
reason why should probably do that. Don't untill all four
cats sleep with you.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
But they sleep on top of the comforter. They're not
in my sheets on top of the mattress.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Huh.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
The only thing that I worry about is my pillows.
They're literally on those things.

and like I said, eleven percent wash them less than
once a month. Fifty eight percent of people have never
cleaned their mattress.

Speaker 3 (01:28):

Speaker 2 (01:29):
I've seen people vacuum their mattress every week, but no,
I've never.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
So you have all of the sheets, everything off of
your bed, and your mattress sits there.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
You know. We have a protector comforter like our protectors,
like one of those, like they are like a.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Dust protect the mattress cover.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
So we have that, Yeah, and then we have another
top or on top of that. Then we have our
fitted sheet. That's three that's three layers. I have to
clean my mattress.
Speaker 2 (01:55):

Speaker 1 (01:56):
I have one of those circular like like when you
plug it in the vacum cleaner he goes.

You go home and you do your laundry and you
take a picture of your mattress once you take all.
