How often do you change your sheets?

[february2003bride]

For our bed it''s 2-3 times a week. The kids beds (3 of them) once every 7-14 days.

At least once a week - if I ever had money to throw away, I''d have fresh sheets put on my bed everyday by a maid - just like in hotels. I recently stayed in a rather posh hotel and there was a sign there suggesting that you might opt not to have clean sheets everyday in an effort to save water and the environment. Not a chance - I''ll worry about the environment at home but for those prices - bring on the clean sheets everyday!

I love clean sheets but absolutely don''t have time to do them everyday.

It doesn''t take very long. I can have my sheets washed, dry and back on the bed in an hour. An hour and a half if I put the setting on whitest whites.

Ours take over a day to dry. I hate using the dryer and very rarely do so. Find it much too harsh.

once a year.

Even if they''re not crusty yet?

About once a week. I try to do it more often (I love getting into bed with freshly laundered sheets!), but DH is always complaining that it''s wasteful to wash them so much. Once a week is a good compromise.

Every week. And on the rare occasions when I slack off and it gets to about 10 days or 2 weeks, I feel bad.

Once a week. Hubby and I both love "clean sheet day!"

every 1-2 weeks or so? I dunno. I don''t have a set time on when I do it. We currently have 4 sets of *nicer* sheets.. 800-1000 thread count. When I first met fiance he had ... I swear.. burlap sack material on the bed. I converted him to better sheets!! Actually, I''d prefer a higher thread count but one of our cats has taken a liking to scratching the end of the bed (holes) to wake us up in the middle of the night.


I HATE changing the sheets though. We have a king size bed and our mattress is really heavy so I can''t do it unless he helps... and he gets grumpy about it.


I do not iron my sheets. That''s crazy.

I change mine once every two weeks. My new matress set is also very tall and heavy and it gives me a good workout. Also, I do iron my new all cotton sheets and they''re a real chore to iron.

I used to change my sheets every Saturday like clockwork before the new mattresses, when I was still using cotton/poly sheets. Those were a breeze to iron.

That sucks. What kind of dryer do you have?

2 times a week.

Me too, twice a week.

And to be honest I''d like to change them every other day (like if I were a multi-millionaire with a personal maid and I didn''t have to be concerned with the cost of electricity and water).

danny, Oprah said on her show once that she''s always had her staff change her sheets nightly because she loves the feeling of sliding into bed at night and feeling clean crisp sheets. If I had a staff, I would too! because I LOVE that feeling. Ya'' can''t beat it.

But for us commoners

..... we do it as often as we can.

I have a three month old Whirlpool Cabrio dryer, but my all cotton sheets still come out with soft wrinkles and puckers. I can''t help it, I HAVE to iron them. I love that smooth, freshly changed bed feeling. It also makes nice sheets look even nicer!

Every Saturday....
