Likewise, beds fortnightly towels weekly -but any of those more frequently if necessary! Good point about spare beds especially the double, but it does feel good to know there are clean sheets on in an emergency. ??
Teatowels, dishcloths more or less daily -when the spirit moves or there is room in the machine.
I am sure we wash far more often than our mothers did, the ease of having the gadgets makes it less of an ordeal.

I do towels weekly, apart from the downstairs loo which I change twice a week and the kitchen similarly. Bedding fortnightly on the day our cleaner does upstairs. The bedroom luxury it's lively but it's down hill all the way from then.

Spare beds I change just before someone comes to stay as it might be the same person and I don't bother in that case. blush

Weekly for bedding and towels. It was a trial with four children at home but did it weekly then as well. My husband would notice and would probably leave it for longer! Love the smell of clean sheets,

I'm not that organised grannypiper. I do like to change the bedding fortnightly ( shock, horror ) towels though quite frequently, why does my husband never get his hands clean under the tap, residue always on the towel.. Time seems to get away from me and I suddenly realise I haven't changed the beds.

When i had the 3 children at home i done a bedding and towel wash every day, which meant every fifth day you had clean bedding and towels, now its just DH and i most of the time towels are washed twice a week but bedding only once a week, DH would leave it months and after i changed my DF'S bed the other day ( first time he has ever let anyone help)and told him that i would do it again next week his reply was "no, that will fine until Easter !

I was listening to the radio and there had been a survey about how often do you wash your bed linen. I was shocked at the results as the majority of single men wash their bed linen four times a year!! the majority of single women wash theres every 3-4 weeks.
Im single and do mine every week and my mother was the same. Am I a clean freak grin
