To think changing bedsheets once a week is ott

[Moomoomango]

Another week has whizzed past, feels like yesterday I changed all the beds. They look and smell fine, surely if I only change beds once every 2 weeks we will still all survive. I could spend 30 minutes with my feet up drinking tea once in a while. Aibu?

Every week if not more in this house.

The stripping doesn't take that long, it's the ironing that takes forever!

Ahh see, no normal fucker irons bedsheets

Every week.
Takes me 5 minutes.
I love clean sheets.

I'd love fresh sheets every 3 days but that is just not going to happen!

Every fortnight or so here. Sometimes weekly when I find the time or if the baby randomly throws up on the bed they go straight in the wash.

Every 2 weeks without fail. We're not mingling, our house is clean and tidy. I'm very busy, cannot afford a cleaner and our house gets cleaned thoroughly every week. Changing the sheets is such a faff, especially this time of year getting it all dry etc, that I cannot face doing it more frequently and figure life's too short....

3-4 weeks here, though would have been more regularly for the DCs.

Think if the environment!!!!

All that unnecessary electricity, water and horrible wash liquid in the sea/land (depending where it goes) or all that electricity to remove it from waste water -week after week after week.......

Yep once every 6 weeks or so here! We wear PJs (2 under 3 means we are up and down in the night often and dont like chilly bits!) so sheets just don't seem to need it so often... Change PJs every 2-3 days though, and pillows every few weeks. Don't get this "but what about all that dead skin/bacteria" hysteria - how often does everyone wash their actually pillows and duvets?? Or sofas, and other soft furnishings that get 'lounged' on?! Besides which, they're Our germs so definitely much less gross, IMO!
There's also, as a pp said, the unacceptable environmental cost of constant washing, laundry and bodies.... People are too prissy these days!

I don't, it dh's obsession chore of choice. He does working from home on a Friday,I would definitely leave them longer. Probably not more than 2 weeks though tbh.

My ancient stinky dog sleeps in my bed with me, so it needs doing about every 2 weeks.

Every three days!!! I do enough washing as it is... I do love clean sheets but realistically do ours every 10 days. We both wear PJs and I can be arsed doing it more often.

My old flat mate did hers twice a YEAR!

I could not sleep in a bed with unironed bedding on, I know that's not the norm on here!
Did it once the night we moved in as was exhausted and didn't care, looked and felt horrible.
Doesn't help that I have diagnosed OCD which revolves around order and cleanliness though not germ obsessed...

Pyjamas changed daily for everyone and same for towels..
Wonders why I've got such high electricity bills, I really wish I wasn't like this :(

I change mine about once a month! (I sleep alone, no partner). I change 12 year old dd's every fortnight and 14 month olds cot sheets twice a weekish and most nights if she has a cold.

I don't iron bedsheets. I flip the mattress about every 3 months. I Hoover upstairs weekly and dust.

My gran taught us, top sheet to bottom, bottom sheet to laundry, clean sheet on top. That was before fitted sheets come in, so if using them I generally leave them on for a fortnight, except in summer.

3 days!?
I used to do it every 3 weeks as they smelled fine and we both have a bath before getting into bed. Now it's once a week/10 days because DP started sweating in the night.

My record when I was a student was about 4 months... It just wasn't on my radar at 20!

Fortnightly is fine.

Bed- when I notice I haven't done them. Every 2-3 weeks?

Towels- when they grow enough bacteria to walk themselves to the machine

PJ's- child daily because we can never seem to find last nights when we need them. Me, probably quite a few days. DH, when he puts them in the wash.

Every three days here (for the fitted sheet) - but I have v bad eczema and it really aggravates it after a couple of days.

I only sleep 'all the way through' on clean sheet days.

Weekly for the duvet cover.

I change them when they stop feeling fresh or when they get tea spilled on them. The ones I am wallowing in now were clean on at the weekend, they still smell like clean.

Once a week is about right. If i had lots of money, help to change them, more sheets and more room for drying them quickly ill do it every day...getting into a bed with clean sheets in one of lifes pleasures.... Op your sheets will smell after that but you might be used to the smell. Your choice if you want to go longer before changing..i just enjoy the fresh sheet smell on saturday which starts my weekend off...

Once a week. I'd love to do it daily but frankly I'm too lazy.
I don't iron but I agree ironing does make them much nicer.
Towels once a week on hot wash.
Baby has a new cot sheet every couple of days.
Baby has fresh pjs daily.

Every week, but I don't do all the beds at the same time. We only have white bedding on our bed and DS only have coloured, so its easy to top up whichever load is going in with the bedding. Sheets are hung out to dry to save ironing, but duvet covers and pillow cases are ironed. Full sets of bedding are all stored together in the folded duvet cover; top sheet, bottom sheet, pillowcases and duvet cover, so it's easy to find a complete set.
DS mattress gets turned over on every change and the removable cover gets washed once a month. Our mattress gets flipped once a month and I vacuum the bedstead.
I do have a slight bedding obsession and we have five complete sets each, so there is never a mad panic to wash, iron and remake.

Every week here- less often than that it grim.

Well personally I do ours every lunchtime, which is a pain in the backside to be honest when i'd prefer to eat a sandwich and read That's Life magazine.

Every second Saturday Dream delivers a new mattress, and the new pillows and duvet come once a week.

Think of our own skin cells and sweat, ugh!!

Nah, much as I love getting into a clean bed, neither of us could be arsed doing it more frequently than every ten days or so. It's just our own bodies and we don't have allergies, so what?
