how often do you...

[Flatcoatluver]

I try to do it every week, but I forget easily, so atleast once or twise a month.

[Argranade]

Only when they smell or have poop since I almost always have a bird sleeping with me lol they all do poop alot at night.

[finn's mom]

Cool, I said it was a random question. Yeah, I usually do it once a week, like I said. I'm just grossed out by sleeping on dirty sheets, so, I probably should wash them more often. When I did start cleaning my sheets once a week, I noticed that my skin improved, and, it's an easy chore. Rip 'em off, throw 'em in, put 'em back on. It's the only one that I really don't mind, because I hate folding laundry, blech.

I do mine about once a week unless they need it more often for some reason. My reasons include dogs chewing pig hooves, ears etc., dogs throwing up on then (Sylvia's favorite place), and other dog related things. Dirty sheets are a small price to pay to have them sleep with me. I even considered getting a bigger bed for them! I still live at home and I have twin bed. Twin bed + me +4 dogs= no room to move!

Yeah, my bed back at home with my parents is smaller than a twin. And, with a nearly 90 pound two foot tall dog, it's not very roomy. David has a king sized bed, though, so the five us can sleep comfortable. hahahaha. Two people and three dogs. It's fun, though! But, yeah, sometimes I think I should wash the sheets on Thursdays, too!

I change them once a week. The dog hair on the pillow gets to me after
about a week.

[sirrahbed]

Usually every other week but more if I feel like it I usually notice they get wrinkly rather than not clean. I have extra pillow cases though - and change them every few days. Sheets don't really get very dirty do they? We shower before climbing in bed and the kitties sleep on top of the quilt.

Clean sheets sure feel good though!!

Once or twice a year, maybe? Seriously.

It's not as easy for me to change mine - it's SOOO much trouble putting them back on. And I don't think mine get that dirty. The animals don't sleep with me - Daisy can't get up on my bed, Jessie sleeps under my bed, Jake sleeps on my parents' bed, and the rest are in various places other than my bed. The only time I wash my sheets are when my mom says "that's gross" and rips them off. I don't think they need it, though... they're just comfy as ever! I'm the weirdo who sleeps on flannel sheets in the middle of the summer because they're too comfy.

But yeh, sorry if I grossed anyone out. Funny thing is, my mom washes her sheets just as often as me.. she just washes hers hours before mine, giving her room to call my sheets dirty. :P

That used to be me and then one day I was like, "Ew, I think I can feel my hair greese on my pillow case!" lol

[finn's mom]

Sheets don't really get very dirty do they?

I think if you're showering before you get into bed, you should be fine. I usually wait til morning to shower, unless I've worked out or been outdoors or on the lake...or out somewhere smoky (like a concert or a bar or club). Then I shower just after getting home, usually right before bed. But, if you do anything else in bed **ahem**, they are very dirty! hahahaha, sorry if that's too much to say.

But yeh, sorry if I grossed anyone out

You're funny, nah, it doesn't gross me out. it's not **my** bed. I'm not a total germaphobe, but, I definitely wash my sheets often. but, hey, this is why i asked the question, i figured it'd be interesting to hear other's thoughts...

I'm a germaphobe about certain things and get grossed out about certain things. But my sheets? They don't gross me out. :P My sheets *ARE* clean, because I shower at night. If I shower in the morning, if just because I want to wake up quickly. If I don't shower at night, it's because I've been in my jammies all day. :P And, I don't do anything **wink wink, nudge nudge** in my bed, so they're clean in those terms too. So no "special" things, no animals, and showering makes for clean sheets! LOL

[Sevaede]

Once a week, at least. I think they start to smell funny, otherwise. All five of us sleep together as well. Two hoomans and three cats.

[Grace]

I change the sheets once a week. We use flannel in the winter and knit in the summer. I have several sets of both types, so it's no big deal.

[sammy101]

once a week.

[catnapper]

Usually every week. Sometimes more based on the amount of shedding in the room, sometimes less. I think the last set took two weeks before I changed them -- out of pure laziness!

PS: Guess what's in the washer right now? Sheets! I had to laugh when I saw you ask this just as I was washing them.
