THIS Morning fans were left horrified after the Queen of Clean, Lynsey Crombie, revealed what your pillows are really holding on to.

The cleaning whizz appeared on a recent episode of the show to share some shocking facts – but don’t worry there’s an easy fix.

According to Lynsey, our pillows actually get heavier the longer we have had them because they hold onto sweat and dead skin cells.

In fact, up to half of the average person’s pillow weight is just dead skin cells, the pro revealed.

Luckily, Lynsey had a few tips to turn your bedroom back into a hygienic haven without breaking the bank.

She told This Morning hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard that pillows will weigh more over time because they hold onto sweat and dead skin cells.

“It’s because of your bodily fluids from your head, saliva, eyes, it’s pretty disgusting,” Lynsey said.

Although the cleaning whizz admitted “it’s hard to fix completely” there are a few tricks she swears by.

One of them is to use a pillow protector, which works the same as a mattress protector by creating an additional barrier between your head and the pillow.

Of course, you’ll already have a pillow case, but this should be used as well as the protector.

The best part is you can get pillow protectors from Amazon for as little as £3.84.

The Amazon Basics Hypoallergenic Cotton Pillow Protector come with two protectors which are “made of 100% breathable cotton with a super-tight weave” to keep your pillows clean and comfortable.

After sharing her tip fans of This Morning were horrified by the grim statistic.

One said: “Seriously, half?!”

And a second wrote: “I always use pillow protectors, but I will weight my next pillows and put this to the test.”

“I wash my pillows in the washing machine every two weeks,” a third chimed in.

And someone else confessed: “I rather suspect the ratio might be higher on my current pillow.”

“I’m a side sleeper, so I change my pillow every couple of months,” another commented on the clip.

How often should you clean your pillows?

A bed expert shared that the cleanliness of your bed can impact a whole lot more than just your night’s sleep.

n fact, the expert said that sleeping in a clean bed can help improve hygiene as well as your overall well-being and mood.

On average, an adult sheds 1.5 grams of dry skin each day, and a large amount of it is found within the bedsheets.

Unfortunately, those skin flakes attract dust mites, which can lead to allergy or asthma symptoms like coughing, sneezing, and itchy eyes.

It is recommended to sleep at 60-70 degrees, which just so happens to be the dust mites’ ideal temperature.

To prevent the build-up of dead skin and dust mites, experts said it’s important to regularly clean your bedding.

To ensure good hygiene, the expert said it is recommended to wash your pillows once a year, but they suggest doing it twice a year.
