how often do you change ur kids beds???

[6inchnipples]

I only change my kids beds when they lose that fresh smell/feeling. I don't have a regular set pattern for doing it and we are away at least one or two weekends a month. Sometimes it can be 3 weeks, even 4 between changes.

My mum strips her bed religously every week and i'm sure she'd be horrified if she thought i wasn't changing the kids as often.

i'd be interested how often other people change their kids beds. (kids are pre school btw.)

when they get dirty

[Uriel]

Every week, but we're talking teens here.

[6inchnipples]

fair enough good answer.

[6inchnipples]

teens dif, they smell more!! esp teen boys!

[themoon]

Once a fortnight.

[Houseofpants]

Every Sat but active boys=sweaty smells

[helsbels4]

I change my dc's beds weekly (only very occasionally leave it longer than that) but don't change my bedding anywhere near that often

[6inchnipples]

My bed def needs changing more than the kids. I'm in their bfing all night, leaky boobs, posseting baby, sweaty 17 stone man beside me..need i go on.

The kids beds smell fresh much longer. I go on my nose, if i can still smell the washing powder its fine, if not it needs a change.

I don't know how people manage to stick to a certain day to change the beds. My mum does it every sunday, she also cleans her hoover then too so she can hoover mattress. I just don't have time for this every week and every week different in our house. I also look at how much washing needing done before i strip a bed so don't get overwhelmed trying to see the bottom of laundry basket!

[addictedtovicounts]

twice a week...on saturday and wednesday!

[SusieDerkins]

Once a week. I have a big bed changing session once a week when we all get clean sheets.

[Gorionine]

every 2 weeks.

[MummyDoIt]

All beds get changed once a week. It might go a day or two longer if I'm busy but not often.

[Bettymum]

Once a week on a Saturday, on all the beds.

[MrsMattie]

once a week.

[stressed2007]

alot longer then that!

[wilbur]

Once a fortnight.

[sleepwhenidie]

change the pillowcase and bottom sheet every 2 weeks or if grotty but longer between washes for duvet cover as my DS always wears pj's and kicks the duvet off anyway.

addicted - TWICE a week?! What are your kids doing in bed? And aren't you constantly surrounded by drying/waiting to be ironed bed linen?!

[bellavita]

between 7 & 9 days

[foofi]

Many years ago when I had an au pair to help me with things like that, they got changed every week, but now it's 2 weeks minimum!

[ohdearwhatamess]

Once a week, sometimes once a fortnight for ds1's bed. Whenever I remember really.

Ds2's cot sheets are changed every 2/3 days due to the sheer volume of snot that gets on them at night.

[Egg]

Every sunday all the bed sheets get done.

Ours is always stinky by then.
DS1 (age 3) has a Blankie he sucks so his gets damp and stinky, I often change his pillowcase midweek as well.
DTs (17 months) invariably get snot and dribble on theirs.

[poshtottie]

addicted, do you have staff? Twice a week!!

I normally do mine and ds once a fortnight. We have a bath/shower every night.

[Flamesparrow]

DD - most days (wets bed)

DS... when I think of it

[Flamesparrow]

In my defence, I spend so much time washing her bedding, that I tend to just feel like I have done everyone's....
