Your in your sheets as much as your in clothes (or I am ) can t imagine not washing them every couple of days.

Although many of us wear nightclothes so it's a bit like a coat over clothes. I don't wash my coat every couple of days even though I wear it a lot!

There have been times in my life stages that washing sheets regularly was a necessity. Given that it's only me that goes in there, once every two weeks is just fine.

However getting scabby teenagers to change their sheets is a nightmare! And no, I'm not doing it for him, I'll just boil wash them when he eventually changes them! :eek:

I wash the pillowcases, duvet covers and sheets weekly and change the matress and pillow protectors roughly every 6 weeks. I ust couldn't leave it any longer even though we shower ever morning and bath every night.

I do mine every 2 weeks. I hate doing it as i also have a kinsize bed :cool: I must admit there is nothing nicer than line dried sheets that have been washed with lenor summer fresh conditioner

Duvet cover
Week 1 as normal
week 2 turn a quarter
week 3 ditto
week 4 ditto

Bottom sheet
weeks 1/2 as normal
weeks 3/4 turn over, or 'inside out'

4 Pillows used in rotation
all washed once every 4 weeks. It's a king size bed all for a 5 foot nothing me so wear on bedding is fairly even this way. No real problems changing it, I put the duvet on the bed gathered up so none of it is on the floor, gather up the duvet cover, tuck the top corners of duvet into the cover, pull cover down, tuck bottom corners into place, hold duvet and open ends of cover together and shake. I do have 3 sets of bedding used in rotation which may be why I haven't had to buy any for 4 years.

When I was a student I cleaned houses and flats. One man I cleaned for (for a year) never changed his bedding or towels that whole time!!!:eek: At the time, because I was young I suppose, I just did what I was employed to do so I never said anything. Now I would leave a note asking if he wanted me to throw them in the washing machine I think. Imagine paying for a cleaner and then sleeping in filth and using dirty towels...mad!

I aim to do it once a week but sometimes I leave it a fortnight.

I change them when they threaten to walk off the bed by themselves.

Whenever I start thinking "oh these need washing" or whenever I've got a lighter normal washing load and can fit them in - usually every couple of weeks, more in the summer.

Strangely it usually coincides with a day when I've got a morning off the following day and oh has to go out to work - so I get the full benefit of a lie in in the fresh ones without smelly man cramping my style.
