Why Now Is the Perfect Time for Bedding Cleaning
As Tulsa shifts from cold nights to warmer days, it’s the perfect time to turn your attention to something often overlooked—your bedding. While spring and summer usually inspire closet clean-outs and home projects, your bed (where you spend nearly a third of your life) deserves just as much care.
Between sweat, dead skin cells, dust mites, and allergens, your bedding quietly collects a lot more than comfort. That’s why bedding cleaning isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about health, hygiene, and a better night’s sleep.
Why Professional Bedding Cleaning Matters
Regular washing at home isn’t enough for comforters, duvets, and other heavy bedding items. Most household machines can’t handle the bulk or reach the deeply embedded grime.
Professional bedding cleaning:
- Removes allergens, dust mites, and bacteria
- Restores fluff and softness
- Extends the lifespan of your bedding
- Reduces odors and mustiness
- Enhances your overall sleep quality
Fresh bedding helps regulate body temperature and reduce allergy flare-ups, especially as we transition into warmer months— two big wins for Tulsa’s humid spring-summer blend.
How Often Should You Professionally Clean Your Bedding?
Here’s a smart seasonal guideline to follow:
- Sheets and pillowcases – Wash weekly; consider professional pressing or cleaning monthly
- Comforters and duvets – Every 3–4 months
- Blankets and throws – Every 2–3 months
- Mattress covers and pads – Every 1–2 months
- Bed skirts and decorative pieces – At least once per season
If it’s been a while since you cleaned your cold-weather bedding, now is a great time to do so before you store it away.
Simple Tips to Keep Bedding Cleaner Longer
Even between cleanings, you can keep your bedding fresh with these quick habits:
- Shower before bed – Less sweat and body oils means cleaner sheets
- Use protective covers – For pillows and mattresses, and wash them often
- Open windows regularly – Circulate air and reduce trapped moisture
- Rotate bedding – Use multiple sets and wash them in rotation
- Avoid eating in bed – Crumbs = bacteria, pests, and stains

Bonus: Bedding Cleaning Is Good for the Planet
Yes, really. When you care for your bedding with proper, professional cleanings, it lasts longer—meaning you’re not replacing it as often. That cuts down on landfill waste and conserves the resources required to manufacture new bedding.
