These home essentials are everyday staples and sometimes, it can be easy to forget that even staples need a little TLC now and then. When was the last time you changed your pillows, quilts and towels? If you can’t remember, then it might be time to hit refresh!
Sheets
Looking for a cheat sheet to help you keep your sheets sweet?

Once a week is best, but if you have allergies, get red-hot at night, or sleep with your furry friends in the bed, pop them in the wash every few days.

Protectors
The easiest way to maximise the life of your mattress is to invest in a protector. Keeping your biggest bedding investment safe from any night-time nasties is the life’s mission of the mattress protector (plus, they’re much easier and cheaper to wash or replace than a mattress).
When to hit refresh: Wash every 2 months
