DH not changed bedding for 4 weeks

[peachescariad]

He's in a separate bedroom. Flithy f**ker not changed his bed for 4 weeks, so this morning I asked him if he was thinking of changing his sheets as he's been in them for 4 weeks.....he doesn't have a clue how long they've been on....If I had not mentioned it, I wonder how long he'd have kept them on.
He's in our son's room and he's coming back end of July so have ordered some nice new bedding for him 😄

Are you the OPs husband or just plain manky?

In summer I throw mine in the outdoor line most days (love the line dried freshness), in winter (unless it's a nice day) they mostly stay on the heated towel rail. or on an airer in other seasons when the heating isn't on.

When I lived at home we used to put them
on the bannister (just outside the bathroom) or on rails in the airing cupboard (we each had our own coloured set of towels)

Still not saying how often you wash your tea towels then?

Shrugs.

I am sure I keep my sheets on for that length of time. You aren’t sleeping in them so let that be his issue.

No it's not, but unlike you my bar is higher than when the sheets are 'icky or greasy' I'm 55 I've had men in my life that probably weren't as fussy as me, but I've still never encountered sheets that were 'icky or greasy' 🤮

Why are YOU boil washing them? Surely he can wash HIS bedding.

Stank mostly!

once a month in any weather 🤮 but in this weather (in the SE anyway) 🤢🤮🤮

Who said anything about ‘icky or greasy’? Did I miss a post? Because you’ve presented it as a quote.

Good Lord are you for real? Nowhere have I ever said that there is no public and personal Heath benefit to cleanliness and detergent. I have said that over washing has no health benefit. Show me any evidence that sets out that cleaning towels daily/weekly improves health outcomes. On the flip side, there is plenty of evidence that shows our high use of water is having detrimental impacts on the planet.

It is really depressing how few people seem to give a shit about the environment on this thread. It is one thing to make a poor choice yourself, pretty much all of us in the west are over using resources and I definitely include myself in that category. But to then level insults at others (‘grim’ ‘disgusting’ are just a few from this thread) for making a better choice than you that actually helps support the planet you live on is really sad.

@cardibach

yes, quoted from here! Different post , but same poster I quoted

Sheets changed weekly, towels changed every couple of days. I do plenty of other things to save water including Navy showers, stripwashes, a water butt for the plants and have not produced any more water users.

I'm not a clean freak by any means but my bedding is cleaned every week. 4 weeks in this heat is gross.

Are you normal? You should absolutely change your sheets on a weekly basis

Same here. Clean bedding is such a pleasure.

We are not going to run out of water. Ever. Get a grip.

Apologies then! But it seems unlikely they actually get like that after 2 weeks…mine certainly don’t.

I change ours weekly-our German Shepherd sleeps on it so less often it would be smelling like a kennel….

If my husband was sleeping in a separate room I wouldn't give shit how long he left his sheets. So long as mine were nice and clean.

Usable water?

Fair. I don’t let my cat into my room so don’t have that issue.

I almost felt a pang but then I realised I'm very gross in MN standards.

😱

It's true that there is cause for alarm, but to understand the problem people need to read behind the headlines to understand one little fact: There is no water shortage.

Our planet is not running out of water, nor is it losing water. There's about 360 quintillion gallons of water on the planet, and it's not going anywhere except in a circle. Earth's hydrologic cycle is a closed system, and the process is as old as time: evaporation, condensation, precipitation, infiltration, and so on. In fact, there is probably more liquid water on Earth than there was just a few decades ago, due in part to global warming and melting polar ice caps. From live science. Stop scare mongering. By all means dont deliberately waste water if it helps with your saviour complex. Most people don't leave the tap running when brushing teeth ect but washing bedding once a week is not wasting water it's called not being skanky.

I got round the struggle with large duvet covers by buying a single bed.

MN is an eye opener.
I've never known such a filthy lot!

We both shower in the morning and before bed.
The sheets are changed every week.

Everyone sweats overnight and it's still sweat even if it's clean sweat!

Towels sometimes twice a week, especially if one of us has a 3rd shower during the day after sport etc.
