To only wash my bedding ...

[Froggy2013]

Every 2 weeks?

King size and junior double sheets, duvet cover etc., which I iron. Plus spare bed maybe every 4 weeks (me/DH spend the odd night when we are having problems sleeping/have visitors staying over). Can't understand how other mums manage to get everything washed, dried and ironed in a week?!

Am I manky?

[DottyDot]

Damn it - cross posts!

[DontstepontheMomeRaths]

I wash them when I suddenly realise I can't remember when I last washed them.

Yep, that

Although in the Summer I think my bed linen definitely gets washed more, love the smell of line dried clothing. Bit of a trudge up and down the stairs to do it (as I live in a flat) but worth it in good winds or sunshine.

I'm not a sweaty person really, I have no cats or dogs and sleep in a bed on my own. I definitely washed my sheets loads more when married but he was a sweaty old thing

If its covered in chocolate just suck it. You should then be able to get another week out of it

[KatyTheCleaningLady]

I change the bedding for some of my clients and fortnightly is pretty common.

[Kubalai]

Weekly for our bed, on a Sunday, and dds alternate weeks unless obviously dirty.

I wouldn't iron bedding ever!

Where's GetOrf?!?!

[Zappo]

Intrigued as to what Stangirl will admit to.

I rarely change my bedlinen. I do it when I spill something on it or DC is sick on it and when it starts to look grubby. No official time scale maybe every couple of months, sometimes more.

I may be manky but I love the smell of lived in sheets.

I have never washed my duvets ( I have some that are older than my children).

[ChippingInLovesSpring]

Nah - it's just about OK :) I do mine at least weekly, mostly twice a week in summer. I love fresh sheets.

I sometimes iron them - the rest of the time I have a life

[Still18atheart]

Every two weeks is the norm in this household too

[slatternlymother]

Problem is - everything we have is white. And we are a "bed family" (mainly because our sofa is falling apart) - so snacks and desserts get eaten in the big family bed ... Whose bedding is now only a week old but already stained with chocolate and honeycomb ...

You must have very good DC! My DC would TRASH my bed!

I wash and iron weekly, twice a week if I'm on. Same with towels. The ironing (with razor sharp creases down the centre!) is a throwback from military training.

[Feelingood]

Peeelease, the regularity of this thread is exactly how many actually change there sheets.

[MarianaTrench]

Every two weeks here. I think they just start to feel a bit lived in on about day 12. Don't have time to do it more often.

[Feelingood]

Fuck off I know it should be their.

[scarlettsmummy2]

Every one to two weeks, but only because my cleaning lady comes once a week and I don't want her to think we are gross- I change them for her coming.

[Talkinpeace]

I thought one just bought new sheets regularly

[OhTheConfusion]

I have three DC's so 1 x king bed, 1 x double (spare room), 2 x Single and 1 cotbed... I love fresh sheets but hate changing the bed.

I change our bed and the cotbed one week, then the two singles the followiing week. I only change the spare bed after someone has used it... so can be anything from weekly to 6 monthly!

[peacefuleasyfeeling]

Fortnightly and never, ever iron, bedding or anything else for that matter. DH does his own ironing when he feels inclined.

[Feelingood]

Well how often do you wash sofa covers? Bet they have plenty sweaty bottoms on them, does that ever get discussed

[MagzFarqharson]

I never wash bed linen, but buy new every 6 months - whether it's needed or not.

[pigsDOfly]

Surely if we all sweated a litre a night we'd all be sloshing about by morning. Where would it all go?

[AlanMoore]

I aim for weekly but have no tumble dryer so in winter sometimes it's two weeks. I envy GetOrf though, I aspire to that and if time/space/money allow I may achieve it in future! Dcs had d&v recently and though that was awful I did like clean bedding every night :)

[Bowlersarm]

Fortnightly. One week our bedding, the next week the DC's

[HollyBerryBush]

Eating bed is just grim. Unless you are an invalid.

[AlanMoore]

I don't iron it though, I just fold it carefully (plus we have cheap ish poly cotton bedding which doesn't crease much - the m&s duvet cover is ace and looks ironed!)
