How Often Do You Change / Wash Bedsheets ?

mmm_drop

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?

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

Oh thank god, I thought it was young people slang for being super overly high.

I'm going to make an effort to use the phrase "monster high" in that exact way at some point! :laugh:

Screw exercise. I just laughed so hard I have a six pack!!

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

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.

Yet I add to it. <DOH>

Months?...Gross.
They should be washed weekly......Bodily fluids, sweat, dead skin cells..

GothicaAdore

Every other week or so. I only sleep here 4 nights a week.

KristinaB83

Hell, I don't know if we've washed ours since '06.

LiftAllThePizzas

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.)
