2 weeks
or
Until you have time.

I change all beds once a week and then extra when needed.

Up to you, in answer to your question, and go and get washing now I have answered you!

SniffyHock · 02/06/2008 12:46

I do them every week but wouldn't stress too much about the children's beds. Mine have a bath every night, wear PJ's and don't do any ahem, activity. My and Dh's bed, might be a bit gross to leave it more than a week

When they start to smell?

SniffyHock · 02/06/2008 12:48

That made me sound like a raging nympho I just mean that there are two people who don't wear PJ's in our bed so going to be more stinky than DC's.

There is actually no law about this, you know. Are you scared you might be arrested by the sheet police???

BlueDragonfly · 02/06/2008 12:49

i am a slattern and change them when i get chance or remember

cutekids · 02/06/2008 12:50

lol @ puppymonkey - oh good! i can relax again!

I manage about once a fortnight if I'm feeling really fastidious. Sometimes go longer than that (not my and DH's bed mind you). I don't think they spotaneiously combust if you don't.... not unless you leave it for months

cutekids · 02/06/2008 13:15

lol about spontaneous combustion and sheet police!!!It's funny though I do actually get all worked up if I don't get the beds done. Don't know why.(I'm not supposed to be here really but still sat mnetting...just don't feel like getting up and doing anything)

I once did a lot of research on this [tragic] and read all kinds of stuff about dust mitage

two weeks is fine

VoluptuaGoodshag · 02/06/2008 13:18

When I can be arsed
When they are turning grey and sweaty in the middle
When DH says this bed smells (you change the fecking sheets then)

Who is going to check anyway?
