Washing

[Skudd]

Bed Linen, how often do you change and wash your bed linen?
I usually do it weekly, although on womans hour on radio4 a while back most changed between every two to four weeks.
Reason I'm asking is that doing my washing this morning realised it had been two weeks since I had changed the bed and I felt dirty because of it.

Weekly, as you say - much more than that and it feels filthy. Plus the feeling of getting into a clean bed is awesome

Weekly, usually one of the things i do on sundays (my life's a 'strap yourself in and ride the chaos' type whirl of excitement and adventure ). But it does occur to me on a sunday night sometimes that i forgot so i do it the next day (see what i mean about excitement and adventure!)

Weekly, or twice a week if it's really hot. Pillowcases only get one or two nights' use, though.

Every week the sheets and duvet covers and pillow cases get washed. Saturday morning is laundry. Monday the maids are here to iron everything.

The reason it is saturday, is that saturday is kids sports day. So wake up and put the laundry in, then sports. Leaves sunday free.

I used to let the maids wash as well, but then you rely on it being sunny to get ironed the same day. Just as easy to put it in the machine myself.

No way will I let the sheets sit for more than a week.

It was only that it was my sons 18th last weekend and I was so busy that I didn't do them, but according to womens world on R4 most do do it every 2-4 weeks.

Funny you should say this, just put mine in the wash since moving in (3 months+)
I got bored of sleeping in puddles of semen

I wash my bedding once every three years whether it's dirty or not

3-4 weeks sounds about right.

I have a shower/bath almost every night so washing them weekly seems pointless to me.

Havn't done mine for 4 months. Now I think about it.

Moving out in a month anyway. I'll wash them then.

[Howling TerrorOutOfOffice]

Surprised at the grubby herberts on here.

Don't any of you single blokes at least live in the hope that one night their bed will be occupied and not by *bedbugs.


*Even clean beds can get bedbugs

[WannaBeDude]

Now im going to sleep on my slumberland heated fur lined blanket thing, and listening to nature sounds app whilst doing some dog loving, the queen bed is full, no room at the inn, or anyone knocking the door or knocking one out.

I hope people are compiling a list of who NOT to stay with when you are away touring

You will stay cleaner sleeping in your bug and mud splattered bike jacket then in some of the sheets on here....

Im suprised mushrooms arent being harvested in some of these beds

Every 1-2 weeks for me
more often if there has been sexy time in the bed

On my own at uni - they never got washed until uni finished and I was back for summer (9-10 months ish). They would feel cold, greasy and a bit damp by the end of it and would change colour after a wash. Girlfriend occasionally cracked and washed them halfway through the year.

Now, living with a woman - no idea, fairly frequently though.
