How Often Do You Wash Your Bed Linen?

I feel like this is a topic that for many is an afterthought; we all know we should probably do it more often but are lazy.

For me, i aim for weekly but usually ends up fortnightly.

Pillow cases are the biggest case for regularly washing for me; you sink your face's oil and dead skin onto them for 8 hours a day.

You wouldn't reuse underpants for 30 days so why would you reuse a pillow case for that long.

    I wash them every time I take them off the bed…

    but I think you are trying to ask how often do you 'change' your bed linen?

    the difference between my underpants and my pillow is that I don't stick my naked crotch on my pillow.

    I change my wife changes them weekly

    Do we need a "How often do you…" forum category?

        The average person washes their hands 7 times a day. 15 is borderline OCD.

        • I drink a lot of water and goes to the bathroom many times per day

    • in that order

  • pillows in the sun on a hot day.

    You can't compare underpants to pillow cases unless you have shit and urine coming out of your head.

        I've already forgotten them though.

  • Anyone not washing their sheets at least weekly are dirty dogs.

    I thought they just change colour every now and then.
