My DH objects to me changing our bed linen every fortnight!! Ew! I would love to change it every day if I could! But .........weekly would be my choice. Am I being unreasonable? I think he is lucky that I do change and launder the bed linen!
How often do you change your bed linen ..........and personal towels? (Another complaint from DH that I change them too often!)

I'd still change the bed weekly Leonora47 ; I love getting into clean (preferably dried outside), ironed bed linen.

I use eco friendly washing products so don't think I'm responsible for wrecking the planet or anything else!

Like others in 'sluts corner' wink I wash linen as and when needed. Half thinking of the environment, but mostly thinking, if it doesn't need it, why give myself the aggravation?!

Is there a need to wash towels,hand and bath every day you should be drying a clean body.
Bed linen I was brought up on the once a week belief, Tea towels get used for so many other things than drying clean china etc so yes once a use I can see.Washing up cloth I often leave soaking overnight in a basin of bleach water and just rinse the next morning.

Changing my bedding fortnightly is the only routine I've got left, thank goodness!
Everything else gets washed when necessary. I don't shower every day ( I do wash) but I change my nighties every couple of days.

A weekly changer here so that whenever I can't do it one week it hopefully means that it is no longer than a fortnight since it was last done. I've wondered about doing the pillows at least during the weeks when I can't manage the whole lot but haven't as I think of it like washing my face but leaving my armpits! In the hot months definately like to do it once a week but would not feel so bad in the winter months when we don't sweat as much.
