    Every week all the bedding gets washed. If my o/h has overheated during the night then the sheets and quilt cover are washed that day. The kids bedding also weekly unless there has been an accident of some sorts.
    I cant imagine sleeping in sheets longer than a week.

    I remember watching a film, I think it was JFK, and Jackie Kennedy on entering the White House told the maids that she wanted the sheets changed twice a day:eek: I thought that was a bit excessive but that if I was to be rich someday I would get the maid to change then once a day - I love the feeling of clean sheets:)

    However as we are not rich then they get done once a week:D

    Once a week here too - or much more often depending on the dreaded night sweats...

    and I iron all the bed linen because I don't like it all creasy. I don't mind doing flat ironing (on a Sunday morning, while listening to The Archers omnibus), it's shirts that do my head in.

    Once a fortnight or when they need changing before that. The kids get done as and when needed, which ends up being a couple times a week anyway.

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

    How dirty have you got to be that you'd have to wash your sheets every couple of days? :eek:

    Don't you wash?

    The sheet, probably twice a week ;)

    The duvet and pillow cases, about once a month but shake it daily to toss off all the crumbs after breakky in bed.
