Sheet Sunday who does this?

[purplemom03]

All beds stripped today and remade 1 king-size 1 double 1 single and surfaces cleaned and floors vacced......but I keep hearing of something called fresh sheets Sunday or Saturday and my question is how is this done on a Saturday Sunday with that being the only time kids are home or not at school should I say..... If I go in my teens or childs bed during the weekend and say yes time to sheets Sunday post say 11am id be met with mom seriously go for a jog I'm not getting out of my bed pre 11 when I'm up At 6 during the week SO how brave are you and what day would you pick

They can and do it's more a letting the mattress fully air so they strip it before they go school takes 3 mins airs i air it then close up windows cos it's freezing at mo then she makes it when she comes in so if say it's more of a airing question I have

I’ve discovered my own genius solution. Brace yourself: I wash our (double) bedding bit by bit (always used to strip the lot on a Sunday before a week at work) Now I will do the sheet, cover and pillow cases on separate days so that it’s not all stripped and has to be remade all together. Good eh 😂

I love your way of thinking and it's lovely to have someone to help

That sounds lush

We do ours on either my day off or over the weekend, we normally wash, dry and put on the same day as it's easier and you get that nice fresh line-dried smell. So it needs to be a good drying day, can't do them on the other week days as there isn't long enough before going to work/college to wash and peg them out after getting up. We like the mattresses to air all day too.

More made up social media bollocks to help people's anxiety along and make them feel inadequate.

Sheets and towels get done ready for the weekend here. Shall I name it Fresh Friday?

Do whatever works for you and stay away from influencer bullshit.

Sorry I'm posting rather than quoting I'm replying but not sure the person there for is seeing them lol I'm deffo no influencer can't even work mumsnet oh dear

Love fresh Friday I do windows Wednesday as I can easily follow that one but only inside as we had a spate of every Wednesday it would rain oh dear

Who on earth gives a shit about what day they change their bedding?! And why does everything need a name? Refresh Sunday? Nah, it's called changing your bedding.

I really couldn't be so rigid as to have a specific day or routine for changing bed covers. I'm a bit lackadaisical when it comes to housework though

No it's fresh bed Friday in this house to enjoy the weekend lay in (not much of one with dd) in a fresh bed!!

We change my bedding on Sundays and Wednesdays and have done so gor the last 40 odd years. I never gave it a name though!
Not a big deal, just part of the housework

When i say we I mean me and Dh, one of us does it just depends who is at home.

Monday wash day was a thing when people had a twin-tub washing machine. Once it was on, that was that. You did the whites first in really hot water, and as it gradually cooled and got grubbier you worked your way through all the laundry.

This was, of course, in the days when most women were full-time housewives (for want of a better word).

My mum did a different aspect of housework every day of the week. Monday washday, Tuesday was getting it all dry and doing things like cleaning the windows or scrubbing the front step, Wednesday was ironing and mending, Thursday was dusting and vacuuming and Friday was the day you went food shopping for the weekend and tidied the house so you didn't have to do housework on Saturday because you were baking cakes. Sunday was a day of rest - apart from cooking the roast dinner and changing the beds, obviously.

Pre DC 20 years ago people tended to wash sheets after the obligatory Saturday night out clubbing whilst the Eastenders omnibus was on to zone out to

These days it's when I've got a free moment to chuck them in the wash then dryer whilst making beds with previously washed and dried sheets.

You're killing the environment.

I rotate the rooms. And we have three rooms. So I do one room / bed each Friday.
So yes, my beds only get done every three weeks!

Exactly this. We had to change our sheets ourselves when we were teenagers 🤣.

I do find this a bit weird. Who cares what other people do? How would they even know? Change your beds when you want to change your bed. I do mine sunday during the day. But that's because it works for me and new week new bed in my addled brain. And agree with PPs teens should be doing their own. My 11 year old does her own and it's directly related to her pocket money and screen time.

Just do it when it suits you (though I'd make the teens do their own). I don't know why everything has to be a 'thing', it's tiresome.

Saturday for me. Then into the wash Sunday along with a few more loads. I have free electric on Sundays from 8 am till 11pm. So I use it!

Christ, can’t anyone do anything these days without checking if it’s ok or normal? Just do what suits you. This is a batshit crazy post.

I always used to change the bedding on a Sunday - because that is what we did when I was a kid. I then changed it to a Friday as I thought I am more likely to get a lie in on a Sat to enjoy them than on a Monday.

I like changing the sheets on Sunday (it's just me and DH though) - and get into fresh sheets to start the week ..

I think it’s nice to have a family reset session that everyone contributes to. It takes less than 30 mins to strip the beds together + put a fresh set on. Even my youngest can put a pillow case on and a spritz of lavender ‘sleep oil’ on their sheets.

to each their own. You’re always going to get people that prioritise it and people who hate doing it
