Default How often do you wash your bed sheets?

I usually wash them every 2 weeks or so. I thought this was very clean and hygenic of me but apparently im a dirty begger???

I think every 2 weeks is the minimum and have not washed them for months sometimes when i've been really depressed and see no serious issue with that.

Its not as if anyone's gonna join me in bed

Yeah, having a refreshing shower and getting in a clean bed is so nice.

I like to think im doing my bit for the environment by not washing often

I like to do them weekly but sometimes it can be 10 days. We tend to bath at night so we're not dirty going to bed but clean sheets feel so good!

I would agree that it is one of life's most sensuous pleasures getting into a freshly-laundered bed after a shower or bath. Ours get changed usually every 10 days or so

If it's just you in the bed then I don't see why every few months isn't enough!! Once a week is just overkill but when I was with my ex (he was a sweaty fecker!) it was probably once every 1-2 weeks.

At the moment I haven't got any sheets at all on the bed and haven't done for over a week ..... oh the shame!

Once a year or whenever I soil them, whichever comes first. I have dark beige polyester ones which have developed a sort of sheen which seems to repel most everyday dirt such as lager and vomit. The trouble with clean sheets, I find, is that you don't get that lovely feeling of alarm followed by joy as your toe feels something hard yet also squidgy in the murky depths, you fish around and haul it up to the surface to find it is a lovely bit of KFC from a few weeks ago that still has enough on the bone to warrent a satisfying night-time gnaw.

Not sure, just when they get stinking really, usually about every 2 weeks. My own stink I do not mind, but getting in someone elses bed when their stink is on it is fairly gross.

Agreed.

Also its why allergies and illnesses are increasing in kids there days. They have no opportunity to build up any immunity or resistance to such things when parents are so religious about cleaning everything.

I played in the mud when I was a kid and it did me no harmmmmmmmmmm *collapses from nasty virus*

People change their sheets once a week? I couldn't be arsed with that. I'm the only one who sleeps in my bed so I just change mine when they feel dirty. Usually more often in the summer than the winter, but on average probably once every couple of months, sometimes less often =/

Lol, this thread inspired me to change mine yesterday They were long overdue a change (not gonna say how long), I just can't be arsed with these things in the winter. I shower more or less everyday so they don't really get that dirty.
