How many times do you change your bedsheets?

[MadAnth]

Another thread alerted me to the fact that a few of you out there change your sheets every week. We are once a month, and thats being good. So own up, how long does it take for you to change the bedding, and am I really a dirty madam? I wonder how often Queen Anthea changes hers?

Mad Anth

Once a week.

I would change your name to MuckyAnth

it has more distinction

I have just relayed this info to the OH, he is in the middle of watching the Di Vinci code on DVD, I asked him how often he had his sheets changed by his mum, and he said once a week. I asked him why he has never questioned my housekeeping methods and I have just been told off for interrupting him in an important part of the film. I am now traumatised I have let him and his Mothers standards down...how I will sleep tonight I do not know...

once a week. but our cleaner does it (i wash them though!).

Like Hulababy - bottom sheet every week, duvet cover and pillow cases every two weeks.

Ds' bed gets done when I remember and/or there is space in a coloured wash. .... usually works out at once every three weeks (but then, he does sleep in pyjamas!)

Especially for you Franny!!

Once a fortnight, unless they have been sicked on/weed on etc. I would change once a week if it wasn't such hard work changing the duvets! Instead I turn them upside down after one week so both sides get equal wear. I also vaccuum the mattress every time to get rid of the house dust mites,don't think I would do this if I changed the sheets every week!

Gemmasmummy-I did not quite get that, can you tell us again?

I knew a woman once who had a cleaner here in China. Her cleaner was unfamiliar at first with duvets and duvet covers, anyway one night my friend got home and she found the duvet cover with the matress actually inserted into it. God bless her cleaner, it must have taken her ages to get it in.

thinking of the poor Chinese cleaner's enthusiasm!! LOL

I like to do them weekly but sometimes it is more like fortnightly.

When I lived in the nurses home, the cleaner there would 'top and tail' ie, take off the bottom flat sheet, replace it with the top sheet, put clean top sheet and change one pillowcase, every week. However, she was quite happy with my suggestion that she left me two sheets and two pillowcases each fortnight, and I'd do the bedmaking myself

Every week here but considering changing them more frequently

Weekly at least. Do you know how much sweat/dead skin you produce every night? Ewwww!

OK, how often do you get your duvets cleaned (and how much do you pay?) I do manage to do that twice a year and have discovered that my local independent laundrette is much cheaper than Atlantic.

lately it's been nearly everyday! There was that whole vomiting thing that ds had, and leaky nappies, leaky boobs....
although i must admit that last night i woke up to a leaky nappy and didn't bother to change them. just scooched over a bit

weekly for us
duvets washed twice yearly and pillows the same, or replaced.
mattresses turned once monthly & vacuumed too.

they're all changed once a week ... do ours on mondays & LOs on Saturdays!

our bed every week for pillow cases, bottom sheet and duvet cover, kids beds every week for bottom sheet and duvet cover and every other night for the pillow cases as i turn them over after one night then replace them for the third night as tehy seem to sweat when they're asleep and make them damp and i dont like the idea of them sleeping on it again.they've also got a mite proof waterproof thing covering their pillows inside the pillowcase so that the pillows dont get damp etc, and one on top of their mattress.we turn the mattresses every month.bare in mind that neither of my children wet the bed so obvioucly when they were younger it was done more often.

Once a week. Duvet cover as well.

Duvets washed once a month.

lol at the Chinese cleaner...we change ours every week but dh said last night we should change them twice a week. Change pillowcases every couple of days as I think hair stays cleaner and requires less washing that way.

Once a week. Didn't know we were supposed to turn the mattresses over once a month though!

can you wash a pillow?

can you dry a pillow?

Once a week and I open all the windows every morning to air the rooms

We have pillows from Debenham's and they can be both washed and tumble dried.
