How often do you change your bedsheets? I try to do ours every 2 weeks. Sometimes I'm lazy and do it every 3 weeks. But I don't go longer than 3 weeks. What about you?

I do ours once a week. We shed our hair/skin everyday/night, our mouths drool, we get sick and so on to be laying on sheets more then a week, I just can't do it.

I change my bedsheets every 3 weeks.Mine are relatively clean cos I don't let my daughter jump on it or something.Sometimes my friends'kids come over and they are all preschoolers.so they love jumping on the beds.In that case,I cahnge the beds immediately.But mostly I change bedsheets every 3 weeks.every 2 weeks is a lot of work for me cos I don't have the place to dry them ( we don't have a tumble dryer,which means it has to be airdried.).and as it is,I have loads of our clothes to wash every week.Fortunately we donot suffer any skin allergies,so it is easier on me.

Unfortunately, we have allergies and I find that if I don't change them often enough, we all start sneezing and feeling yucky around the house. Yes, it's a real chore trying to keep this house as clean as possible due to our allergies. Thank God for our washing machine and dryer!!!

I try to do mine every 2 or 3 weeks. Sometimes I go overboard and try changing it every week but my husband complained about my excessive washing. Although it doesn't hurt me because I've got laundry machine. But still it made him feel that I am so clean so now i just change it every 2 or 3 weeks. Now he complains that I sometimes forget to change the sheets...

I normally change my bedsheets once a week, i dont wait to make it dirty to change else it does not get cleaned properly too so i regularly change it so that it looks like new all the time

I wash our sheets twice a week...on Sundays and Wednesdays...I wash our son's on Mondays and Thursdays and Mom's on Tuesdays and Frdays......Nothing beats the feel of getting out of the hot bathtub and going to sleep on the fresh smell of freshly washed sheets. It is a habit that I developed many years ago when my older children were small..... I also wash walls of my house weekly, changing rooms until they are all done and then beginning in the kitchen again...My family does not really have any major allergy problems and there are times when my schedule gets thrown off by "life"...but I think it is important. Many people have told me that I go to extremes with house cleaning but that is how I was raised and it works for me...Home is my favorite place to be so I have to be comfortable there so it is just part of life for me......

I change the bedsheets about every week to every week and a half.. I love the feel of fresh sheets, the best is when you are having a very very bad day I will change my sheets and for some reason it feels like a fresh start to the day
