Instagrammer reminding followers to change bedding on last day of month 🤢

[Travelfairy]

This page I follow, she said she always changes her bedding on the last day of the month and reminded her followers to do the same....
I commented does she only change them once a month and she said yes unless they need before that.

I thought this was completely gross!!! I change mine once a week. Absolute max maybe 9 days if particularly busy etc

YABU- once a month is fine
YANBU - thats gross

That said, as much as I wouldn't judge, I wouldn't feel I was in a position to advocate publicly on social media. I'd be keeping that nugget to myself. 😂

My sheets normally take themselves off the bed to the washing machine, all the action they see, my sheets are exhausted and very sweaty

Why does it matter to you how often someone else changes their sheets? You’re not going to catch anything from them.

Every Friday.

Brillo and wire wool, I assume.

Good for her..We should be saving energy, water etc where we can .

By MN standards you are still dirty. Unless a boil wash of some description occurs at least every 3-7 days...Dirty.

I’ve already changed my sheets this year so that seems rather excessive

I do fortnightly, but I have 2 showers a say, every day and force my family members to have at least one.

I do everyones on a Sunday, along with uniforms and towels. Makes me feel ready for the week

I roll in sheep dip before bed each evening and then change the sheets hourly.

We change ours twice a day and bathe in bleach.

🤣🤣🤣
mumsnet needs the laughing emjoi back
🤣🤣🤣
for what's it worth i only change every 2 weeks in my house. only because its a super king and bloody effort to change 🙈
op you don't need an influencer to tell you what to do with you life 🤣

I love a fresh bed so probably do mine weekly. I’d feel grim after a month but maybe she is particularly naturally fragrant and doesn’t sweat like us or use products in her hair etc.

One of the great pleasures of my childhood (I was born in 1962) was the Sunday night bath followed by clean PJs, drinking Bournvita, Ovaltine or Horlicks in front of 'The Onedin Line', 'Poldark' or whatever the 7:30pm Sunday evening series was that night, and getting into a lovely clean fresh bed.

Of course, my mother (like most mothers back in the day) had a twin tub washing machine, tumble driers were an expensive luxury so everything was dried outside so usually smelled of the fresh air-unless the weather was particularly bad when the house looked like the set for Widow Twanky's Chinese Laundry with items spread on airers, over the banister, on hangers on doors, picture rails, everywhere in fact - then they smelled of the woodsmoke from the open fires used to heat the house.

I once had a neighbour who put her children into clean PJs & bed every night. I felt that, not only was she making work for herself, but depriving her children of that lovely warm, clean, cosiness of a fresh clean bed as their bed was always a clean fresh bed.

I love that. You've inspired me to strip my bed today. I want that Sunday feeling. Now, to convince someone to go out to the shop to get me Horlicks...

Eeeeew. That's gross. Once a week only? You're disgusting OP

@DickDeweycant you see that once per week is completely arbitrary rather than “ basic cleanliness?” If you live in the UK this is a country that takes far, far, far more of its share of the world’s resources, so you can wash your sheets weekly and feel superior to the ”minging” 80% of the world population that either don’t have sheets or water or hot water or detergent or drying facilities or physical strenght to wash sheets this often?

I think bedding is disgusting. Why on earth would you use sheets? Like loo brushes. Urghh. I dont care that you can wash all these things. I just exist in a cave and try not to think about my own filth. (My neighbours wont stop parking in front of my door though.)

Also born in 1962. Also had that Sunday night routine. Bath. Hair wash. Boiling hot hairdryer. Cotton nightie. Lovely clean top and bottom sheet all tucked in. Only thing that spoiled it was school the next day.

This made me laugh 😆

YANBU for finding it gross.

YABU to care what other people do.

Lucky you! 😂

We’re supposed to change it?

I don’t even change mine once a month.🤷🏽‍♀️
