How Often Do You Wash Your Bed Sheets?

Thanks.

I don't like crusty clothes, so no line dying.

Perfect large mountain retreat might convince me to line dry some linens but someone is going to have to stand out there and beat it with a dryer sheet.

Same here. My wife has shown me how to do it probably 30 times over the years.

On a separate but related note, how many people hang dry their clothes, particularly outside when it's warmer?

I worry that it interferes with the migratory patterns of waterfowl. That, and I don't have a clothesline.

The wife and I decided to "fight the man" and put up retractable clotheslines about three years ago. If you just pop the clothes in the dryer with a dryer and run it for about five minutes with no heat, you'd never know that they were hung-dry.

Every Sunday. We do not hang our clothes on a a clothesline because we don't live on a farm. The spare bedrooms that only get used when we have company get the sheets washed the day before company arrives. I'm curious as to how many sets of sheets people own. My wife has bought 5 sets of sheets for our bed and she rotates them every week.

We're fortunate to have a cleaning service and they come in three times a month, putting on new sheets each time. It's my job to wash and fold the dirty sheets, and I have no ability to fold those fitted sheets. I try, but they just look like I wadded them up.

The only one I have trouble with is the mattress sheet. That bastard just gets wadded up. No matter how hard you try it folds all crinkled so why take the time.

I think just two for us.

We have four or five pairs total. However, one or two of those are flannel sheets for the winter, which incidentally are a very worthwhile expenditure.

So I think we have three summer sets and two winter sets.

Weekly. I think we have four sets.

Get on the ironed sheets train. It's exquisite.

If you wash them daily why would you fold them? I would just carry them back in there and put them back on the bed.

We do all the sheets weekly.
