How often do you wash your bedding?

[TheSpoonyNavyReader]

YABU Every 2 weeks

YANBU Once a week.

If you wash your bedding more or less please let me know why.

It only takes me 5 mins max to change each bed, not really taking up much time in my week.

Fortnightly in the winter. Our bedsheets and blankets take up at least 4 loads of washing each time. Husband insists on 2 blankets in the winter (still using them now!). In the summer months I try and change the bedsheets weekly as fewer washing machine loads.

Every other week. Shower before bed and in the morning do get into bed all nice and clean

Once a fortnight in winter and when the line drying weather starts probably weeklyish. Also varies depending how busy we are

Weekly for sheets, duvet cover,pillowcases. I always turn the duvet back open the windows and let the bed air our for a couple of hours before making it. I wash pillow and mattress protectors when I remember to.

Fortnightly in winter, roughly weekly in summer but influenced by good weather / drying days as we try not to use the tumble drier.

Our towel and hand towel situation might be giving some posters nightmares 🤣

When I remember every few weeks. Sometimes longer.

If I'm honest me too

Why should I wash towels after a tradesperson or neighbour has used them? I don’t understand. I’d wash a towel if it had got, say, lots of dirt on it, but not on principle just because a non-family member had used it.

Fortnightly unless I have a floody period. Woukd probably do it if i was ill, but to date, I'm rarely ill. Occasionally go to 3 weeks. I do love clean sheets, though.

I live alone (and no pets), which is also why I don't worry about tradespeople using my towels - I usually have a clear idea of exactly who and how often my towels have been used. So the towel in the guest loo won't get washed so often, because it might have only been used twice in a month.

I do them about every 3 to 4 weeks. I'm a bit surprised that I'm clearly a grotter compared to most here 😆

I change them once a fortnight in the winter and once a week in the spring or Summer. I don't care what other people do as I don't stay in other people's homes apart from my mum's. My mum does hers once a week and I strip the bed once I leave hers. I wash towels in general once a week but hand towels get changed over at least twice a week.

She also has a thread asking how frequently people have a bath/shower.

I can't think why she is so interested in how often other people shower/bathe/change their sheets/wash their clothes/run their washing machine.

Big towels get washed weekly, hand towels a couple of times a week.

Bedding fortnightly (but it's only me in it!)

Clothes do tend to get washed after every use but again it's only me and dd so that's manageable.

Everything gets washed on an eco 30 degree wash though as can't afford the electricity!

Everything looks/smells fresh and we're not dead yet so 🤷‍♀️

Every two weeks or less

I am interested as I had a another thread where poster after poster (vipers) told me how unreasonable I was to shower daily, washing bed more than fornightly.

I was out with friends for dinner last night and I asked in conversation and everyone showers daily and washes their bedding weekly, so I was questioning the response on my first post.

You do know that people can ask for opinions on MN.

"I was out with friends for dinner last night and I asked in conversation and everyone showers daily and washes their bedding weekly, so I was questioning the response on my first post."

But why ask at all?

Why do you care if other people shower more frequently or less often than you or change their bedding more frequently or less often than you?

I commented above I'm every 1-2 weeks (pillowcases more often) but this thread inspired me to do the protectors as well today!

Once every 2 months. No-one has died

Personally I change towels if anyone not from our household has used them and I have to clean the bathroom too but I have a bit of OCD

Probably more like monthly for me unless it’s a hot summer - then it’s fortnightly.

Once every 3 weeks or so (sooner if I have a bad cold). Once a week seems mental to me! I never sleep naked though.
