    Every time me and the missus get marital at a minimum; probably about the same as the OP, every six months to a year. Usually valentines and my birthday.

    That's a joke. My dog is a total prude.

    weekly. I would change them daily if I had someone to wash them for me! I LOVE fresh clean sheets!

    Every Saturday at minimum, but sooner if it's been a um...um...um...productive week?

    Yup, me too, except on Sunday.

    I'm sorry OP I guess I'm not understanding a few things. You now have a new HE washer? Can this one "handle" the sheets?

    Also you now have more sheets sets?

    I'm sorry one more thing...what is monster high?

    Monster high is like zombie barbies that my 8 year old is really in to.....

    And the sheets in my house change once a week. My daughter has 2 sets of monster high, my son has cars and thomas. I just have 2 matching sets to rotate.

    6 months....even 3 months is disgusting.

    Pretty regularly, like 3-4 times a month. I'm really weird about sheets and can easily become a little OCD about them, so I try to reign it in a little bit. I have been known to take a lint roller to the bottom sheet on the regular just to minimize debris that bare feet might collect from the floor before bedtime, and I've also made a habit of brushing me feet off before putting them under the covers. Even a stray hair makes me feel a little icky, but I'm getting better about that. Patterned sheets help. lol

    Um why not just have no sheets? Then when the bed gets nasty you flip it.

    I mean if you wait 6 months to flip it that's a year and after a year the bed needs to be burned anyways :D
    ---

    I typically have the white pad that goes on the bed, then you have the fitted sheet, then the non-fitted sheet, then pillow cases, and a blanket.

    My blanket typically gets washed way less but the sheets get washed with the weekly wash.

    Every time I *kitten*, which is 2 or 3 times a day.

    I had to Google this one. I'm old.
    A "day" is the amount of time it takes the Earth to rotate enough for the sun to return to the same relative position in the sky, which is 24 hours on a clock. (That's the most commonly used one, the solar day. But there's the less well-known sidereal day.)
