How often do you wash your kids bedsheets?

4 year olds...obviously expect teens to do it themselves...

I don't expect my teen to change and wash their bedding...but regardless of age, I aim to change all bedding once a week but it's more like once a fortnight in reality

Weekly. Unless the bedding gets soiled from food spillages, accidents, dirty clothes from the garden etc.

Its supposedly weekly. Reality is every fortnight.

They don't have the thrill of crisp clean sheets like me

Errrrm … when I remember! I’m prepared to be flamed 😄 They’re never visibly dirty or smell smelly so probably once a month. They both usually sleep uncovered and off the pillow honestly so it’s just the sheet to worry about anyway haha.

Once a fortnight. I tried weekly but couldn't be arsed.

@WakeUpLockie I'm glad you said that!! I was thinking bloody hell I must be awful. I do them monthly ish too 😂🙈.

Every week. More if they get anything on them.

6 and 9 year olds get done every two weeks, barring accidents. Teenager's are done every week.

I would like to say weekly, but honestly 2-3 weeks.

If dirty, spills, accidents occur then straight away obviously.

Weekly

Once a fortnight but 4 nights out of the 14 they're at their dads.

Weekly, usually. She strips the bed herself and puts everything in the washing machine though (6), so I only need to make it.

About every 10 days

Once a mother but DC are at their dad's 50% of that so I suppose it's more after 14 sleeps in them

Every time they get dirty. About twice a week unfortunately 😞

Weekly. They strip themselves every Tuesday then I wash it. I find it starts getting sweaty smelling if I leave it longer and they’re only 6 and 8.

In summer I do all the bedding weekly and line dry it. In winter I alternate so our bed one week, DC the next, due to a lack of drying space (and I figure it's getting less sweaty in winter anyway so it's fine).

Once a fortnight - both kids end up with us around midnight anyway so the sheets never really get dirty.

Generally speaking every week- but it does slip to every second week on occasion.

I used to wfh on Thursdays so that is my bed clothes changing day. It just became a habit.

Ha!
Am basking in the glow of all clean sheets today. And having recently relaxed to every fortnight, am glad to see that is fairly normal.
I do change teenage kids beds sooner if they start to pong and will aim for weekly in the summer bc we live in a hot country etc...
Am I only the only one super impressed by @PleasantBirthday. Well done to you and your dd

When Mine were smaller it was monthly as they didn't sweat, wee, or anything else in bed and everything smelled nice for ages!

Teenage boys I do when they can be arsed to strip the bed for me and bring it down to the laundry room. Generally when they've got a girlfriend coming round. 😁

Ours I do fortnightly. Honestly after a week it all still smells and looks fresh. I don't get the washing weekly thing, it's too much hassle to want to do it when it's not necessary. No one likes changing the beds (although lovely when done)

Once a fortnight. I do ours once a week.

One a week to once a fortnight, depending on the weather for drying, how busy I am, if I can be arsed etc. In theory the 14 year old should do it himself, in reality he wouldn’t ever, so I do it to ensure he doesn’t contract some disease previously unknown to personkind.

Younger teen every 2 weeks but really only need washing every month because she showers daily and doesn't get sweaty. Older teens when their bedding appears by the washing machine, I'd say every 6-8 weeks! I do all the washing but I don't get involved in the actual stripping/remaking of their beds.

Weekly and occasionally more frequently for male teen.
