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’s disgusting. I’ve alarms set for every 2 hours throughout the night to change mine.

We do it more often - once a week in spring summer when we can line dry - but I'm in one of the wettest parts of the UK with limited drying facilties and 4 lots of bedding and other washing - getting things dry can be a nightmare so it gets longer in winter.

We aware pg and shower/wash frequently - so really not sure it's the massive issue some seem to feel it is.

Oh you must be like the Princess and the Pea😂 I can’t remember being at all bothered by nylon sheets as a child. In fact they were quite toasty in our freezing cold house. I am sure they were very labour saving in those days. They washed and dried very quickly and didn’t need ironing. I am sure though nylon sheets wouldn’t suit modern sensibilities and probably no longer exist.

I’m not sure what the sarcastic replies are for, once a month to simply wash your bedding is too long and gross. I wash mine once a week, sometimes twice a week in the summer. I couldn’t go more than that! After working with the public tho, there’s a lot of dirty people out there and it doesn’t surprise me 🤣

Once a week for me, bedding and towels on a hot wash on a Sunday. I do have extra pillowcases to change during the summer.

Same. Whether or not it needs washing

I change once a week on a Monday morning - without fail unless ill. We bathe twice daily and always enter the bed with a clean body and fresh nightwear. Cleanliness feels calmer and is of course hygienic.

Your sheets absorb body oils, which if left long enough, will permeate your mattress. There is no coming back from mattress funk, which it turn gives your bedroom an odor.

YANBU, OP. If you're too busy for basic hygiene, reevaluate your priorities.

You are aware we’re all different right?
Dh & I both shower before bed and are very non sweaty/clean people.
We definitely don’t change the bed weekly, we’d rather not waste our time and it’s not great environmentally.

I sleep on straw in a manger so just replace with fresh straw every so often

But do you wash your pillows!!!

Yes.

Once every Preston Guild whether they need it or not 🤣🤣

YABU by being upset, influenced or grossed out by a stranger, on the Internet, that you do not know.
Stop watching and being influenced by utter tripe on the Internet. Do something useful. Change your bedding.

Yes I personally find it gross to go longer than a week but as I’m not sleeping in other people’s beds I couldn’t really care less!

Mattress protector and pillow protectors here
I do weekly though anyway

I change ours when they are stiff with coffee stains or other 'help me' signals of distress from bedding, and ready to waddle themselves to the laundry room ponging as they go. I do, of course, spend hours neatly ironing the fresh sheets and pillow cases anointed with fabric freshener wafting lavender fields as I do my best Princess and the pea impression. Ok not really, it is way, way down the list of things I have to do, and want to do in the day and if that makes me a slob, I will buy the t-shirt. I take solace from the fact it is only stained with my slops of coffee and such like, unlike some hotels that don't even change the sheets between guests and sponge off obvious stains.

I miss laundrettes on every corner, although most of MN would probably be horrified by them. I change mine around every 10 days. I use mattress and pillow covers and it all gets changed. I've got a mix of a tumble dryer and dri buddy. We have seperate towels and wash them weekly.

😂😂😂

Why are some people on MN obsessed with how often other, completely unrelated people change their bedding?! Such a strange to be concerned about.

Lolz at the comments!!

I am a solo sleeper and a weekly changer.

But only because I love the freshly laundered smell and feeling of a newly made bed.

To offset though, i'll often microwave a gone-cold cup of tea.

Leaving your bedsheets a month won’t save the planet.

here I was thinking I was minging going ten days this week! This is why I shower and change as soon as I get in and refuse to wear clothes I’ve worn on public transport around the house.

Omg you wait 3-4 HOURS????!!!!

I throw it all away along with the duvet when the clocks change.

Dying 🤣🤣🤣
