I change my sheets every week. My OH said his Mother changed hers about every four weeks. Just wondered how often MNs change theirs.

OP posts:
Lotsofhappysmiles · 30/04/2018 20:29

Not again!!

The correct answer is once a week.

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 30/04/2018 20:29

DH changes ours when he remembers, probably about every fortnight.

FASH84 · 30/04/2018 20:31

I aim for weekly but sometimes it goes a bit pay that especially now we have a super king size bed and it's a massive pain in the area because my arms are too short and our bed is too high

Whenever I run out of laundry to do, so once or twice a week, depending how well I keep up on washing while I'm working/at college during the week.

If I was in the mood to be honest I'd admit washing is my least hated chore and the one I'm least likely to fall behind on but I'm not so I won't. I also won't mention the trail of squashed crisps leading up the stairs which have been there since Friday night or the sate of DD's bedroom.

As rarely as I can. I bleed on new sheets, period blood, nose bleed some random orifice will bleed if I change the sheets

iamyourequal · 30/04/2018 20:33

I used to change all the beds weekly when I worked part-time. Now it’s pretty much fortnightly. I sometimes launder pillow slips in between. It’s one of the many things that makes me sad to work FT again....I love fresh crisp bedding !

TurquoiseDress · 30/04/2018 20:34

Would like to do it weekly.

In reality probably every 4 weeks Grin

Still, better than DH who seems to think bed sheet changing should be a bi-annual thing

Itchytights · 30/04/2018 20:35

Twice a week.

More in summer.

I am a fussy biatch

00100001 · 30/04/2018 20:35

I like to imagine that the OP actually asked us all

"How often do you change your pants?"

Answers are far more interesting then Grin

"when I remember to"

"Twice a week... I love a clean smelling set of sheets pants!"

"once a week for definite, maybe sneak an extra change in if it's really hot weather"

", I seriously remember my mum washing them about once a year,"

littlebillie · 30/04/2018 20:40

Weekly normally, more I we are sick as clean sheets help us all sleep better.

"Weekly normally, more I we are sick as clean sheets pants help us all sleep better."

littlebillie · 30/04/2018 20:43

I think daily would be wonderful (if someone else could do it)

TheDairyQueen · 30/04/2018 20:43

Once a week - and I like them dried outdoors too. Living this far north creates its own problems with that, however. Tumble dried just doesn't quite feel the same.

00100001 · 30/04/2018 20:44

"Twice a week.

Or

"Would like to do it weekly.

In reality probably every 4 weeks grin

Still, better than DH who seems to think bed sheet changing should be a bi-annual thing"

00100001 · 30/04/2018 20:45

Damn it...

"Would like to do it weekly.

TreacsPotNoodle · 30/04/2018 20:46

Twice a day.

Do I win?

Roussette · 30/04/2018 20:46

Twice a week but more often in summer???

In the name of all that is holy, why??? If you wear PJs or whatever you're not getting them really grubby surely....
It must be like groundhog day having to do that, just can't imagine it!

Slartybartfast · 30/04/2018 20:47

Eew

Slartybartfast · 30/04/2018 20:48

My dh is the same, reminds me I would like clean sheets, yawn

IceSwan · 30/04/2018 20:53

When I left Home and knew nothing I just followed the "how clean is your house book" Blush so once a week but twice in summer

stopfuckingshoutingatme · 30/04/2018 20:56

Fortnightly I am afraid
I wish it was weekly but .... cannot be arsed

Elusiveone · 30/04/2018 21:04

Every 5 days or so

namaste86 · 30/04/2018 21:13

Once a week, usually in the weekend. Change my son's cot sheets about every 3 days as he sleeps on his front and drools!

Itsnotmesothere · 30/04/2018 21:40

Every week sometimes stretching to every 10 days. My standards have slipped a bit recently. I hadn't changed them for a couple of weeks and changed them yesterday. They felt horrible. If you bed share with another human who likes to sleep naked, then regular changing is essential.
