To ask how often you change your bedsheets?

[33goingon64]

my mum and my sister both insist on every week and I reckon it makes sense when you think of how much two people sweat each night. I usually manage every fortnight and feel a bit scummy about it. But I know plenty of people who think it's ok to wait a month. DH would wait until there were things crawling around and the sheets could stand up on their own. I change DS's cot sheets and sleeping bag once per week as I think that's a bit different. So, what do you all do?

[mumblechum1]

Once a week.

I like getting into bed on Tuesdays with nice crisp sheets and hospital corners

[ginmakesitallok]

On a previous thread on this topic wasn't there someone who changed all bedding every morning

[MumblingRagDoll]

About 3 times...DH sweats a lot!

[JoandMax]

Ours once a week, sometimes twice depending on how sweaty DH is! The DCs twice a week

[PenguinArmy]

We had a good stint of fortnightly changes when we had electricity paid rent with large washer and dryers, I think we're back to 3-4 weeks.

We now have no tumble, not allowed to hang washing outside and a small one storey flat with a second DC on the way.

[SofaQueen]

At least once a week. I'd love to change them more frequently, but then I'd have to hire a dedicated person to iron all the linens!

[Georgimama]

Once a week minimum, if either of us has been ill and sweaty more often. I would love to change my sheets daily and if I lived somewhere hot so they could be guaranteed to dry quickly on the line I would.

[eurochick]

Once a week.

[DoMeDon]

YABU to ask - why do you care!?!

Every 7 to 10 days usually (up to 14 days when Im alone) - DH is a sweaty monster!

[FagButt]

weekly for all of us

[ebbandflow]

Can I ask those of you that wash bedding weekly-is it just the sheets that you wash or does it include the duvet covers?

[southeastastra]

every two weeks, more if there is a suddenly sunny/windy day

can't be arsed to do more than that

[PublicHair]

the whole thing, sheets, pillow cases,duvet.

for those of you stressing about getting stuff dried i do a day of washing towels, bed linen and tea towels, and when it's done i drop it at the laundrette to be 'service dried'. It costs £3-£4 and comes back dried and folded, it means i don't have to have it hanging round for days.
and i just stick it straight in the drawer.
and ironing who irons bedding ffs

[FagButt]

all of it.

[upahill]

I do publichair

I don;'t like the quilt ccovers and pillows looking like they have just come from a tatty jumble sale.

We only have a king size duver and two single beds to do so it doesn't take long.

[ebbandflow]

....nips off to put washing machine on.

[usualsuspect]

once a year

[Kladdkaka]

When the smell keeps me awake.

[blackeyedsusan]

[disappointed]

not often enough.

surely washing them too often is a waste of electricity/money/water?

[dreamingbohemian]

when I look at the bed and can't remember when I changed the sheets, I know it's time for a wash

in my defence we are not sweaty people, usually shower at night too

i miss my dryer! used to change sheets weekly, twas nice

[nodrog]

Dc's get their's changed weekly, every sunday.
Dp works nights, so twice a week, because they are slept in twice as long as anyone elses iyswim. Sunday and Wednesday.
I once worked with a lady who changed her sheets everyday!!!!!

[BrandyAlexander]

Our bed - weekly for sheets, pillow cases and duvet covers. The dcs - twice weekly (more frequent for dribbles etc). If anyone is sick then its all changed daily. Mattress and pillow covers bimonthly plus pillows and duvets washed/dry cleaned every three months.

[nodrog]

duh, I meant mine and dp's get changed twice a week, as dp works nights.

BTW, the ex workmate - would also wash her duvet and pillows every day. I always wanted to ask how many duvet and pillows she had, with the best will in the world, they take some drying.

[acsec]

Fortnightly, no tumble dryer and limited drying space inside. I wash the duvet and pillows at the launderette twice a year.
