YABU Every 2 weeks

YANBU Once a week.

If you wash your bedding more or less please let me know why.

Once in a month in winter.

Once a fortnight in summer.

Neither of us are stinky people.

Somewhere between the two.

Weekly in summer due to heat/sweat/no jammies plus the quicker line drying time.

Closer to two in winter as we have two bed in regular use, both with King size or Superking bedding so washing and drying both plus other laundry so that can be tricky.

DS does a lot of sport so that generates a lot of washing. On the plus side he showers a lot😁

Once every two weeks but I'm single. No big sweaty man in my bed.

First week I sleep on the left, second week I sleep on the right. 🙂

I like your thinking, week on the left, week on the right made me crack up, a woman working smart.

Sheet every week. Duvet cover once a month. I try not to do too much washing due to water shortages where I live plus environmental considerations. I’m always amazed by the amount of washing people on Mumsnet do - no wonder everyone is stressed and time poor!

You should read OP's other thread where she says she does 25 loads of washing a week, including towels after 1wash, and every item of clothing after 1 wear...

Aim for weekly, sometimes this slips to fortnightly.

Usually every 2 weeks. More if hot 🔥 or we are unwell.

Once every two weeks. We don't have a tumble dryer so getting it all dry would be a pain if I did all 4 beds every week (in the winter - easier in the summer).

Duvet cover, mattress and pillow protectors every two weeks but the fitted bedsheet and pillow cases once a week.

Currently once every 2 weeks, super long and DH is away a lot.
DH has just had major surgery and will be home bound so probably go once a week as bed will be getting heavier usage with two of us in it all the time.

I do it weekly, the cleaner strips the bed and puts cleans ones on, and I simply wash, dry and leave out for her.

Josette77 · 14/04/2024 07:51

Once a week.

More if I'm sick. I'll usually change them every couple of days to wash away my germs.
