30% of Brits hiding under filthy sheets
Published:  01 May, 2007

Thirty per cent of people in the UK do not wash their bed linen often enough to rid them of bacteria and bed bugs, a survey by washing machine manufacturer Electra has shown. Industry experts recommend that sheets, duvet covers and pillow cases should be changed once a week and washed at 60ºC to kill any unwanted occupants.

People in the South West of England proved to have the cleanest beds, with 83 per cent washing their bed linen at least once a week. The survey suggests that those in the East Midlands are the least concerned about dirty sheets, 41 per cent of people from this region not changing their sheets every week.

The Electra E6860 8.5kg washing machine washes a full double bed set and two single bed sets all in one load. This large load capacity not only saves time but money – using approximately 52 litres less water than a standard 5kg washing machine. The Electra E6860 also features a large 30cm porthole, making the loading and unloading of bed linen easier with minimal creasing.
