There’s lots of debate over how often you should change your bedsheets but these pictures might make you want to do it every day.
Sara, from Australia, had seen others posting online about soaking their sheets in the bath to give them a proper clean and she decided to give it a go.
She says that even though she cleans them in the washing machine regularly, the amount of dirt that came out really shocked her.
The idea is simple – just strip your bed and soak the sheets in boiling water in the bath and leave them to sit for several hours.
Afterwards, you can lift them out and put them through the washing machine to spin some of the water out and then dry normally.
Sara posted pictures to the Mums Who Clean Facebook group, showing the sheets after their soak, the dirty water that was left and then the grime left in the bathtub after draining the water away.
She said: ‘I usually wash my doona in the machine about once a month, so decided to try this method this month,” she said.
‘Within half an hour of it soaking I could see how dirty the water was and I was horrified and embarrassed. It was really gross.
‘I’m totally grossed out but have to share.
‘I decided to strip soak/wash … my doona. Yes I regularly wash it and I’m shocked at how dirty it was.
‘The fact I sleep under it has totally made me sick … I didn’t want to post but my sister Kirsty told me to … please be nice.’
It as the last picture that made people feel particularly grossed out and other people said they were going to give it a go.
One person said: ‘It’s shocking how much dirt still comes out after it gets washed.’
Another said: ‘Wow! I’ll have to strip mine now – eek.’
Sara told news.com.au that she was ’embarrassed by how dirty it was’ but she added: ‘A lot of people have said they had the same thing happen so I felt better.’
