How often do you change your sheets?

[AdamAnt]

I suspect I may be at the more slatternly end of the scale.

Name changing permitted for Dirty Gerties.

SO TODAY IS FRIDYA

its sheets day

Every 2/3 days, not that I am a sweaty betty, I just like the feel of clean sheets. DD's bed changed once a week. D stepson's sheets come alive and crawl to the machine on their own like the Young Ones' socks (he is 20 and can do his own sheets!)

I have accumulated a lot of bedding over the years!

I don't bloody iron it, tough.

Poor Charliecat

I'm more amazed at the people who find time for a long hot bath tbh! I haven't had one for about 5 years!

Sheets, usually about once a fortnight, depending on whether one of the children has been sick on them etc etc. It can be 3 weeks I think. I have no real idea...

I rarely change Ds's in his room, as he never sleeps in his bed (I mean, never) so only about once every few months as I have a nagging suspicion his toy animals are not all that clean minded.

I have told you - it is unlucky to do sheets on friday.

ours once week, baby two/three times at last, little kids every ten days, big kids when I harange, dss - all I can say is urgh.

Im not joking.
We get bathed every day and I swear the sheets never look dirty.
I have mates kids whos beds are ROTTEN, looking but they change thiers often....so...I am too disorganised to think oh yes I will go and do that job, that I hate, again after only doing it a matter of waking hours before.
Really lifes too short.

Once a week for DD and us, usually twice a week for DS as his nappy always manages to leak at least once a week

once a fortnight if I remember

If it was n anny's job I might bump it up to once a week

Good god no harman With your well made crisp beds its no wonder I always sleep on the sofa. Your cleanliness makes me nervous!

I am clearly in the minority here, but not seeing why its so criminal???!!!

but you sweat in the night and bits of old skin sloughs off and gets in your bedding...

from my face and my feet? Well you cant SEE it.

Us: bottom sheet, once a week. Duvet cover and pillow cases, once a fortnight

Ds: in theory, alternative fortnight to our duvet covers. In practice, when I remember . Which is not very often

charliecat - I don't think that's bad!

I aim to wash mine every two weeks, but it frequently slip to 3 weeks and I have occasionally gone longer (much longer in my student days when I smoked in bed and shagged every night ).

KerryMum - we've never had beg bugs (I assume you mean the proper visible things, rather than the teeny weeny microscopic bugs that live everywhere...including your eyelashes? check em out!)

doh bed bugs

My son never, ever sleeps underneath the sheets. The only bit of him that ever touches his bedding are his cheeks on his pillow.

I unmake his bed every morning just to air it, otherwise it won't ever get wrinkled. I wash his sheets once a fortnight but it feels like a pointless task.
