The Great Mumsnet Laundry Debate, Part I. £300 Love2Shop voucher to be won NOW CLOSED

[PoppyMumsnet]

To celebrate Fairy Non Bio’s sponsorship of the Mumsnet Talk App, we’re launching the Great Mumsnet Laundry Debate – as with all great series, it's a three-parter. Part I is about how often you wash your bed sheets (as we know, always a hot topic on Mumsnet).

We all know that washing bed sheets can be total faff: there’s stripping the bed, then there’s putting the wash on (are you a warm 40C or a hot 90C type?) Then there’s hanging it out and the struggle for drying space (unless you use the dryer ?) After that there’s folding - and, for the super-keen, perhaps even ironing. Finally, there’s getting the darn things back on the bed.

So - how often do you wash your bed sheets? And how often do you wash your DC’s bed sheets? Do you have a specific process? Perhaps you change pillow cases weekly, but sheets and duvet covers every two weeks? How often do you change your mattress protector ( again)? Do you use softener?

Whatever your bed sheet-washing process, do share it with Fairy Non Bio in the thread below, and maybe even give us a live update from the Mumsnet Talk App as you're waiting for the load to finish .

Everyone who posts will be entered into a prize draw to win a £300 Love2Shop voucher.

Thanks and good luck!

T&Cs apply

If possible I like to be able to change them once a week all depending on work and my children

once a fortnight - but honestly - I can "forget" sometimes....

Once a week for DH and myself.

Twice a week for the children. All are done at 40deg Eco wash with non-bio.

Sheets are washed weekly tumble dry them in the winter line dry in the summer

My bedding is changed fortnightly

Only me and DD in this house. I wash our bedsheets fortnightly (usually) but no less than three-weekly. If I have guests over they stay in my bed and I wash them on the morning they are due to stay.

I try and strip bed sheets and pillows cases and wash weekly as part of my routine. Wash in non bio shops own usually at 40 degrees.

I aim to wash all our sheets, pillow cases and duvet covers once a week but life usually gets in the way and they often go a fortnight. I wash them on a 40 degree wash with a nice fabric conditioner and hang them out to dry in the summer or in the tumble drier in the winter. Thinks like pillows, duvets and mattress covers get washed when I realise that I can't remember when they were last done!

I wash all bedding once a week on a 60 degree wash (which also helps to keep the washing machine clean).

In summer once a week but I do confess it's less often in winter as it's such a pain to get them dry after washing.

I do them every other week but more in the Summer, and if the weather is decent enough I try to always dry them outside :)

Once a fortnight - it's my worst job but I do love getting in to clean sheets

Weekly usually, but can go a bit longer if the weather is bad in winter.

I was all our bedsheets weekly three lots of beds and I like to was at 40c and depending in the weather line dry. I always have to iron the sheets and duvet covers, there's nothing worse then crumpled looking beds!

I wash mine and my childrens bedsheets once a week, usually on a Sunday, more if neeb be. I wash them on 70c then tumble them and put them back on the bed. I use lenor unstoppables then my whole room smells fresh all week, I love the feeling of nice clean fresh bedsheets, helps me sleep better.

I wash sheets fortnightly unless its very hot or someone has been ill and in bed a lot. I wash at 40 degrees with an occasional 60 degree wash, just a small amount of softener. I do tumble dry and I always iron as I use cotton sheets and I love the look and feel of clean ironed sheets

I change our bedding every 2 weeks, every week if it's hot weather

once a week normally but sometimes more often over the summer, I always sleep well the day I put on the fresh linen

I wash mine and my little boy who's 7 bedding Weekly, dry on washing line depending on weather and a quick 10 minutes in dryer to drop any creases to save on ironing. My oldest Son I usually do every 2 weeks, he's 28 and has moved back home, he's suppose to do his own but never get's round to it.

every sunday morning

Every two to four weeks.

My bedding every 3 weeks unless needed sooner, my son is really sweaty at night so I change his weekly or sometimes twice a week. My daughter is 2, I tend to wash hers as and when Leakey nappies or other incidents occur usually at least once a week. As I get hayfever really badly I can't dry my bedding outside either 🙈

minimum of once a week!

Every week on average

Mine get washed every few weeks. I am better at washing the kids sheets than our own
