How often do people change sheets and have a fresh towel

TBagpuss

I do mine weekly (both bedding and towels) or more frequently if needed.

I live alone - when I lived at home the hand towels got changed more frequently as there were more people using them when washing their hands - bath towels we each had our own.

We just share the bath towels, we don't have our own specific one.
I couldn't be doing with all the arguing over who used whose towel (and what for!)

Same here.

Bedding weekly or 10 days if I've not had time to get together with DH. I can't make it on my own, duvet's too heavy!
Towels get washed when I touch one and it's damp. Sometimes daily, other times 3 days between. I will only share towels if I go first because I actually wipe most water off myself before I get out of the shower. Everyone else makes it soaking!

Dishcloths, tea towels, hand towels are changed every day, sometimes dishcloths more than once.

Bath towels, we don't share these, you get a clean one, use it, hang it on the radiator, use it the next day and then into laundry bin.

Bedsheets every week but they have gone 10 days if we've been too busy.

Bath mat shaken every day, don't know why? Changed at least once a week, often twice if it looks like it needs it.

And yes, we do always seem to be washing towels, not very MSE

Bedding - once a fortnight but it can be longer if I've spent a few days away with work.

Towels - whole set, including bath mat gets done once a week. I have a bath sheet, hair towel and separate hand towel in each set.

I've only got two sets of bedding for my bed and the same for the guest bed, so it's one on, one in the wash.

Just me (and very occasional overnight guests - fresh bedding / towels in the guest room before and after any visitor). No pets.

Tea towels - get used for everything from drying dishes to spills to polishing things. They last anything from a few minutes to a couple if days.

I'm really shocked, I sound neurotic! Bath sheets every use- I can't stand damp towels around house so they go in linen basket and into washer.

Madness. Put them on a radiator or drier to dry and they don't stay damp for long. And you can reuse them. Several times.

Sheets are done once a week (kids on a Saturday, ours on a Wednesday). Bath/shower towels are probably done a couple of times a week, hair washing towels after each use.

This is one of those threads I dread answering, thank heavens it's anonymous!
Hand towels in bathroom every 2 day, bath towels after 2 uses, bed sheets....erm, when they look too minging for even me to ignore......

Bedding every week, bath towels probably once a week......there are 3 of us...OH and I have our own bathroom and towels....grandson uses the main bathroom and towels and we have another en suite for guest and a downstairs loo. In the mornings I just make sure the towels are hanging up in the bathrooms that are being used.

TBH, I wouldn't change the towels daily.....I don't do it in hotels either...I always re use the towels in hotels.

The majority of our bath sheets and hand towels are white and it's pretty easy to see if they are getting a little grubby.....

Teas towels every couple of days....I have a dishwasher so the aren't used to dry anything.....dishcloths bleached daily - but not changed daily.
