### In the lessons

In everyday life and hygiene, bedding should be washed regularly (often once a week) because sweat, skin flakes and dust mites collect in it; changing your bedding helps if you have allergies. In pet care, rabbits, guinea pigs and hamsters need clean, dry bedding, changed often. In gardening, bedding plants brighten flower beds. Phrases: "change the bedding", "wash the bedding", "clean bedding", "straw bedding", "bedding plants".
