Expert explains 40p hack to rid pillows of bacteria 'without washing'
dailyrecord.co.ukKeeping our beds clean is hugely important especially as we spend almost a third of our lives tucked up asleep. During the night we can sweat a lot and spread bacteria onto our mattresses and pillows.
The nasty bacteria can easily build up if bed cleanliness is not kept on top of, causing an array of problems from stains on sheets to skin acne.
