Changing Bedding

[victoriah3]

Have just heard a survey that says 1 in 20 of us only change our bedding twicw a year. How disgusting... remind me not to day ver at their homes. There is nothing nicer than gettting in to newly washed sheets. Who are these people? Come on own up how often do you change yours?

LessNarky - were you just Narky before?

I always loved your name..

What inspired it ?

Every Day ??

Bliss!!

fortnightly - slattern that i am i have to make a note on the calendar to remind me

I was narky and then got very stroppy with someone for no good reason . I changed to LessNarky to remind myself not to be a bitch.

Have you ever seen pictures of puffins heading back to the burrow with a mouth full of sand eels? That's how I feel tottering to the front door with arm fulls of shopping bags and the keys in my mouth

I always think puffins look narky - its a brilliant comparison

Anyway, back to bedding...

Clean = good
Twice yearly = minging

And, Notwavingjustironing, you have a rather excellent name yourself.

well, NarkyWaving just didnt seem right....

Wow, I'm a slattern, as our bedding is changed very infrequently as we're really struggling to keep up with housework in our sleep-deprived state.

But I'm honestly shocked at the idea that it's reasonable to launder sheets every day or two - just seems like a a waste of the planets resources to me...

Ah IsIt, that is the dirty scrubber's excuse, the planet...

Dirty Eco scrubber No, I think that everyday is probably more than is necessary. But oh so nice...

Ah well, but I don't have a dishwasher and have solar panels - does that let me off?

It's weekly here.

Used to be less for the DSs but now they're sweaty teens older, we are strict about it. Does reduce the 'eau de boy' a bit.

YUCK! twice a week here wednesdays and sundays. possibly more in the summer when weather is warmer and i can put them on th line to dry.

weekly here, twice a week for ds, who seems to develop slobber stains on his (he's 3 btw) [vom]

I am probably one of the monthly people shrugs

ahh this has confirmed it am a domestic slattern. Not really sure that it needed to be confirmed but since I only remember to change the sheets every fortnight-ish I am hanging my head in shame.

I have also to confess that I have only ironed adult bedding once in my entire life - felt lovely but complete waste of time when was a tangled mess in the morning. When DD was all shiny and new all of her bedding was ironed all beautified but now she is a sleeping gymnast too there is no point.

Off now to strip the beds - might even get round to putting clean bedding on too!

Happy to be a dirty eco scrubber .

GetOrf - my understanding is that an energy efficient dishwasher, washed full, is more environmentally friendly than washing the equivalent load by hand.

Solar panels? Don't know really.

I've never quite believed that it is more environmentally friendly to use a dishwasher rather than wash by hand. Surely manufacturing a dishwasher and then shipping it over from China must produce tonnes of carbon? I think it is a ploy by the dishwasher manufacturers to make people feel it is alright to have one!

Don't dishwashers use loads and loads of water.

I don't care know really.

Once a week here. Sometimes less if we've been unwell or hot and sweaty in Summer.

I love clean fresh sheets. Never iron though.

Rank at the thought of 2 times year.

Dishwashers don't use loads of water these days, hence less than washing by hand.

But dexter may have a point . I don't care know really.

Gosh, once a weeK!!! Wish I had the energy to do this. I hate making it too - super kingsize. Only got 2 sets to play with. Ironing the duvet cover is an adventure.

Every other day???? why???? madness.

Once a fortnight for me. Childrens prob the same unless wet.

I think it depends if you sleep naked or in pyjamas- if the latter it doesn't need doing as often as if the former!
