How often do you change & wash your bed linen?

Crazymazy I don't think changing bedding daily is necessary unless there are health issues. It is a terrible waste of resouces to wash and dry all that laundry daily.

Bed linen is changed every week, hand towels every couple of days and bath towels weekly, sometimes more often.

I take the responsibility to change DH bathroom/shower towels because he never changes them!

I aim to change bed linen weekly but it may go to 10 days. Sometimes I change the pillow cases mid cycle.

Wrt personal towels.... there is always a general hand towel in use in the bathroom with a spare on hand. Wrt larger towels for shower we each have our own towel which use several times as we wish,, and each changes their own shower towel when they feel the need. We are responsible for putting our own shower towel in the laundry basket.

Why would it be your responsibility to change dh' s personal towel?

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!)
