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?

Once a week.

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

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

About 3 times...DH sweats a lot!

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

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.

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!

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.

Once a week.

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!

weekly for all of us

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?

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

can't be arsed to do more than that

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

all of it.

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.

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

once a year

When the smell keeps me awake.

[disappointed]

not often enough.

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

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

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!!!!!

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.

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.

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