How Often Do You Wash Your Pillow Cases?

A recent blurb in the November issue of Cosmopolitan called out a study that said it is recommended to launder your pillowcases weekly to avoid skin irritations and Acne. We could not agree more and in addition to helpful skin care - it also reduces the number of household allergens including dust mites, dander and other respiratory inflammatory substances. At DOWNLITE we are fans of Tencel Lyocell pillow cases because in addition to feeling great they allow the pillow cases to be laundered really fast due to the moisture performance benefits found in Tencel Lyocell. Our own little trick is to machine wash them but air dry them for the ultimate in fabric care and softness. Because the material is so microscopically smooth you should also see an improvement in eczema and psoriasis inflammations.

We are promoting the use of down comforters to help lower energy bills at home. Not only do they feel great but they help you save money - what can be better?
In fact, lowering your thermostat one degree can save 3 percent on your home heating bill. So imagine lowering your thermostat 5 degrees - you practically can pay for the comforter just in energy savings!
