Here is an enlarged photo of a dust mite - there are hundreds in your bedding:

House dust mites, due to their very small size and translucent bodies, are barely visible to the unaided eye.[5] A typical house dust mite measures 0.2–
Here is a photo of their droppings:

So, after a year, there would be lots of dust mites & lots of their droppings in your bedding.

They say that "beauty is in the eyes of the beholder" but sorry to say I don't see that beauty. I see a face that "only a mother could love. Perhaps he has a "heart of gold" and a kind nature. I hope so.

Well thaaat's creepy, I hope the remaining 70% are more enthusiastic about cleanliness. Sometime I think I'm too particular, seems like we do one or two loads laundry every other day. Bedding gets done less frequently, every couple weeks. Coats? They don't get worn often here, but they do get laundered at least once, at the beginning of the cooler weather, after collecting dust on the hanger for a year.

Sleep tight. Don't let the bedbugs bite.

There are a lot of ads on my TV about self-cleaning sheets & bed ware. They don't explain how they self-clean.

I usually wash my bed sheets every two weeks. I take a shower every night before bedtime so I'm clean when I slide between the sheets. I change out towels once or twice a week. My dryer has a steam/sanitize cycle so I run the throws and blankets through that fairly often.
