changing sheets

[lorisparkle]

my new years resolution is to be more organised with housework so basically how often do you change the sheets on yours and dc's beds?

[attheendoftheday]

I mean to do it once a week, but realistically it's more like once a fortnight .

[LillianGish]

I also aim for once a week, but choose a time when I have time to get everything dry, put away and beds remade. Everyone in this house has a bath before bed anyway so don't feel too bad if it's a bit longer.

[IDismyname]

Once a week here.

[littledolly]

Always once a week here - would do it more often if I could as I love getting into a bed with fresh sheets

[DewDr0p]

I alternate - ours one week and dcs the next - would love to do them all every week but this seems to be more achievable.

[NotGoodNotBad]

About once a fortnight, sometimes slips to a bit longer. Once a week would be nice if the bed fairy (or DH? yeah, right!) did it instead of me...

Once a week here

[MousyMouse]

just like dew
and lots of airing every morning and evening.

[WillSingForCake]

Once a fortnight.

[lorisparkle]

thanks everyone. I think once a fortnight is realistic but will aim for more.

[wrinklyraisin]

Our bed is changed every 10 days or so. Dsd has fresh sheets once a month (she only sleeps in them every other weekend so only 4-6 nights) and we keep her room well aired/tidy/the cat and dogs out.

[fussychica]

Weekly in summer, probably 10-14 days in winter - no tumble drier.

[KeepYerTitsIn]

The dc's beds are changed every weekend, I change my bedding every 3 days-ish as I have night sweats and can't bear the thought of smelly dirty sheets. Also wash duvet and pillows every 2 or 3 weeks.

[ComradeJing]

Every week but trying to change twice a week as it's so bloody hot here and we don't have ac.

[bluecarrot]

Weekly -DDs on Tuesday, mine on Wednesday. I don't have a tumble drier!

[chanie44]

Every other week here - just don't have the time or space to wash them every week.

[Pendipidy]

Keep - you wash your duvets and pillows every two or three weeks?!

[bluecarrot]

Does she mean duvet cover and pillow cases maybe?? And the two sheets get washed more often?

[KeepYerTitsIn]

Hi, no I really do wash the duvets and pillows that often - have to, they'd be really unhealthy otherwise I think as I really sweat lots in the night, wake up drenched.

[ScaredySquirrel]

weekly here - dcs on fridays, mine on Sundays. I love sleeping in clean sheets too and would do it every couple of days if I had a housekeeper!

[BigGiantCowWithAKnockKnockTail]

When I'm being organised I do sheets and pillow cases weekly and duvet covers fortnightly, for no other reason than that's what we did at my prep school and it kind of stuck in my head!

[SureFineWhatever]

For our bed, I aim for weekly but more realistically it ends up fortnightly. Dcs are in cots so theirs get done more frequently, usually more than once a week esp if spills or spews.

It's supposed to be sheet changing day today (Fridays). I've got approximately six hours to do it. It probably won't happen.

Once a fortnight.
