How often do you change you bedlinens?

Hi myLotters, Quick question- how often do you change your bedsheets/linens? I'm an ultra clean freak so I change mine every 1-2 weeks. I'm deathly afraid of the creatures living on my linens (dust mites!) Enjoy your weekend! -virusxtreme24

Hi virusxtreme, I'd hardly consider you an ultra clean freak if you can wait up to two weeks before changing your bedlinens, even for someone like me who hates cleaning but am persoanlly clean I just couldn't leave them that long, 4 to 5 days at the most. I think 2 weeks is really unhygenic and you could have anything festering there.

it depends if theres dirt or stain then as soon as possible but normally i change once a week as im sensitive to the dust. i have an allergy to dust thats why i know if i need to change my bedsheet or not even if its less than a week. my boyfriend want it change everyday specially if its white. his more sensitive than me lol

Twice a week my house maid change all the bed linens.This is a very hot and humid country you know.Moreover I like the smell of the freshly washed bed linen.

Hehe, you're far from an ultra clean freak, that time period is actually the one recommended. A person with COD would probably change them everyday

Just like you.I change my bed linens every two weeks and wash them out in the washing machine and dry it under the hot sun.Normally we all use to have a bath before bed time and so I don't worry much about the stains.But it is good to wash it for the dust and micro organisms.Sometimes our kids would play in the bed and that time I would put the linens to wash in a week time even.Cheers!

I wash my bed sheets every 1 - 2 weeks as well, I always liek to have freshly washed bed sheet and I like the feeling of sleeping on a bed that feels like it is nicely ironed. :-)

I try and make sure mine are changed once a week. Sometimes in the summer, it's more, but only when it's been really hot. I don't like the thought of dust mites either! I even do the mattress pads, comforters, and all that too.

I wash my sheets about every 2-3 weeks. That reminds me, I need to wash my sheets soon :-) We have only 1 set right now so I like to wash the sheets when my boyfriend is at work because he usually likes to lay down in bed when he's home and watch the tv in the bedroom.
