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?

[Annoyed101]

I do once a week but I don't iron anything

[BlackholesAndRevelations]

fluffyraggies- mental! That's a hell of a lot of washing. I can't manage our clothes for the week, let alone all that palaver.

[RandallPinkFloyd]

Oh here she is.

It doesn't take just as long to make a bed as it does to change it you loon!

And put some pants on, you'll get worms

[Gerrof]

Plus I have black cats.

I don't think what I do is normal by the way, and I don't judge others for changing sheets every week or whatever. I just really like the feeling of clean sheets and think it is worth spending the 5 or 10 mins a day changing them. I can put a duvet on freakishly quickly though, great big long orange tan arms.

[Gerrof]

Orange tan?

Orangutan.

[Gentleness]

Am I imagining it or did someone on here post once that they replace their bedding every 3 months (or something). I mean REPLACE as in, throw the old out and buy new. I think MrsDeVere would need to come up with a new category for that level of commitment to clean.

[tumbletumble]

YANBU, OP.

[expatinscotland]

Are you the family skivvy? Why are you doing all this on your own?

Don't iron them, either.

Once a week, and like Kitchen I do it on Sundays instead of church. Clean sheets are my religion.

[sydlexic]

DH washes and irons the bedding once a week.

[IsThatTrue]

Once every 2 weeks, ours and dc3 one week dc1+2 the next, unless obviously dirty.

It used to be less but I have changed my slovenly ways!

[Elderwand]

Once a week.

[bedmonster]

Our bed, weekly on a Sunday morning. All of it, sheet, mattress protector, duvet cover and 6 pillowcases. We both sleep with no clothes on. We have white bedding. Doesn't show sex stains, can wash really hot without running/fading. Have about 3-4 sets so not an issue if it doesn't all dry.
DDs beds, fortnightly.
DS cot sheet often gets changed twice or three times a week. He gets it all snotty (how?), and sometimes has a nappy leak through his pjs so his gets washed most often.

[Moominsarehippos]

Weekly, ironed. And I have to slip into bed after a nice bath, in clean pyjamas with lovely clean toes. Ahhhh, nothing like it!

[VerySmallSqueak]

Sniff test here.

[Casualty]

I do mine religiously every Friday so it's all fresh for a Saturday morning lie-in. I leave the duvet hanging over the banister to air in front of an open window for a couple of hours before remaking it.

The DCs get done about every 2 weeks ish, never on a Friday as I don't think they'd appreciate it in the morning like I do!

Never iron though.

[BarbaraWoodlouse]

MrsDV I googled Amazon bed vacuum. I got this!!

Between this and the chastity belt thread my DH is going to either divorce me or do something much, much worse when he sees my internet history

[cathers]

All beds get washed and fully ironed weekly here. Two king beds, 2 singles so I do one a day mon- thurs. Then have wend off!

[Mominatrix]

White bedding only in my household. Changed between 1-2 times a week, depending on weather and illnesses. Everything changed (top sheet, bottom sheets, duvet covers) and washed at 90 (which is why I only buy white), and everything ironed. Thank goodness for the tumble dryer and my cleaner!

Several people in the family have dust mite allergies, and Ds1 seems to turn into a furnace when he sleeps.

[Fairylea]

Once a week here. But I don't iron anything :) and I tumble dry it all so all done and sorted in a day :)

[Thurlow]

About once a month. I know it should be more but it's just such an arse to do it.

[EugenesAxe]

Whenever I see posts like 'AIBU to wash my bedding every two weeks?' my first thought is always that someone's stressing about being OCD. Then when I see all the 'Urghh yes YABU you skanster' responses I realise my mistake.

So between me and them, I'd suggest you were average and therefore NBU.

Really though, who gives a toss? If you get bedbugs or something then you'll change, but until then do what works for you. It's your little nest after all.

[snooter]

Variable here. If we (us two or 15yo son) have been sweaty or someone notices the bit of duvet cover nearest their nose smells a bit yucky or if there are, ahem, stains, then the linen gets done. If no particular reason to do it then roughly every 3 weeks.

[babanouche]

Oh jesus I haven't read this but I think I'm doing well if I wash them after my period. But the kids don't have periods so.....
