How often do you change & wash your bed linen?

Why does he object ?

Bedding and bath towels weekly, hand towels every few days , tea towels every day. Summer time I often change the bed every few days I like the feel of fresh cotton sheets when its hot.

Bedding once a fortnight because it's a king size bed and I change sides each week Towels every couple of days..

Bedding once a week also towels unless feel they need it sooner
I know the feeling hildajenniJ separate beds also

I change bedding weekly, personal towels and general hand towels daily, teatowels every couple of days.

Bedding once a fortnight, change pillowcases more frequently in Summer.

Bath towels once a week.

Hand towels once a week unless anyone is Ill.

Tea towels once a week, use dishwasher or leave to drain so rarely use.

Washing up cloth, as and when necessary, soak overnight in bleach if needed

Towels weekly, bedding fortnightly. When DH was on chemo I washed bedding weekly.

Well, there seem to be no mucky pups on here so that's ok - and I also wash regularly whether I need to or not.

Isn't the average in Britain once a month or something? And some only every six months? which is totally gross
Clearly GN's are a clean lot!

Changed ours on Christmas Eve ready for the new PJs. Think it may well be next year before I do them again

I intend to change mine today and wash them!!!

On Christmas day?

'The better the day the better the deed' according to my mum
I have been known to clean the windows on Christmas Day

Granny23!

crazymazy, your DH 'objects' to you changing the bed linen? Why? I suggest you give him something that it's reasonable to object to. Go and throw his favourite mug at a brick wall outside, or move his bookmarks, or something! You could just threaten to do that sort of thing if he ever even speaks about (or even looks as of he's thinking about) bed linen again!

Come on, grans, we need some lateral thinking here!

Thank you for all these comments! Searching out for that 'favourite mug' now!
I am not a lover of household chores - but having been a 'homemaker' for almost 50 years it is now 'in the blood' (sweat and tears!) I love the results of doing the chores and find it difficult to ignore when they need doing. I agree that cutting down on the laundry is a good idea but I don't think changing bed linen and laundering every fortnight is excessive. DH says I should leave it longer to 'save the planet'. It would save me time but not my sanity!

When I think they need it!

When my daughter went off to uni I told her to change the sheets every week. When she came home they looked disgusting and I said I thought I told you to change them each week, I did she said - but she hadn't washed then in between!!!

Towels every second day for me and beds fortnightly.

Bed linen once a fornight in winter weekly basis n summer towels when I thought know they need to be . Was going to change today ready for son and family but they are not coming as floods have closed roads around them I'm gutted oh well at least they are save luckily food will freeze and kids will probably enjoy different pressies a few days on ?

Bedding fortnightly.use top sheet to avoid changing duvet cover so often.towels weekly.just me

I'm with the OP's DH here. It isn't just the washing, it's having to tumble dry bedding because no reoom to hang it to dry. When I was young top sheet went to bottom every week, fresh top sheet, wash bottom sheet & pillowcases - but most people didn't have showers & many didn't have bathrooms, you had a bath once a week & washed your hair once a fortnight, more people did manual jobs & there was no anti-perspirant, no-one changed their underwear every day, men used Brylcreem etc...

Keeping quiet here - think I must be a slut...

Crazymazy, just have identical sets of bed linen and towels, then he'll never notice!

I'm feeling much better now about changing my bed linen every 10-14 days. My aged mum still does hers at least weekly so I feel most sluttish compared to her.

Bath towels get changed every 3/4 days, hand towel in cloakroom daily and I get through several tea towels and dish cloths a day. I'm a bit phobic about germs in the kitchen.

Keeping quiet here too, hapgran. Or rather I'm saving the planet...
