Once a week here, but once a year?!!! Yuck, crawly crawly.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80369068


Well, in all honesty, I allow my little Jack Russell to sleep on the bed with me, and she can be nasty after running outside on that red clay, so I have to wash all the bedding regularly. The sheets, normally weekly, and the blanket and quilt topper every couple of weeks. I never buy a comforter because they are just too difficult to wash and some of them say "dry clean only." That's not practical when you have pets sleeping on the bed. Quilts are so much easier to wash.
 Quoting: GA Girl


Yep or duvet covers. We sleep with down pretty much year round in our house. And even the down goes in the dryer several times a year along with the pillows.

And vacuum the mattress twice a year.

Is it any wonder there is a bedbug problem here in the states. Ewwww!

Bed is will hides in the baseboards also. Use diatomaceous earth to kill them. Sprinkle it on the box springs also.

fungus is what you really need to watch out for

detergents don't necessarily have anything in them that will kill fungus, it will go right through the wash and the fungus is still there.

washing won't necessarily sanitize, you need to put bleach in the water.

detergents are just soap with baking soda to remove odor , soap is not necessarily anti bacterial,
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72756950


White vinegar in the final rinse gets rid of fungus.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80345815


really? good info, did not know that, i think bleach will too but not sure what concentration/for how long
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72756950


Use 1/4 cup of white distilled vinegar in the rinse cycle instead of fabric softener.

Bleach will slowly destroy your sheets.

Good point for those who have colored sheets and can't use bleach. I'm a white sheet and white towel person myself - easier to wash in hot water and with bleach. I'll have to keep that vinegar tip in mind, though.

That is fucking gross. I do mine every six months. I do not have sexfun on on the bed these days so not a big deal. When I was having the crazy sex with the squirters and what not, those sheets were usually in the dryer 5 times a week until I went to bed and then had to make the bed at midnight.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78148676


So you didn’t wash those either? You just used the drier to dry out the fermenting pussy juice?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80372721


He puts the sheets in those special dryer bags that claim to turn your drier into a dry cleaning machine? The pussy juice stains never come out.
 Quoting: Pickle Lake


No on both. I thought the dryer implied the washer before. Most places today have the complete set of washer and dryer. The only time I used the dryer by itself is to unwrinkle a shirt with a wet towel.

Those are the same people with bad hygiene that claim they don't smell. They'll also take a dump, not wash their hands and prepare food while a cat walks on their counter. Probably bring it in for work potluck, too.

I don't know what's worse..............washing the sheets just once a year, or having your dog sleep in bed with you. Would you hop into bed with your dirty feet after going barefoot all day? Or just as bad, letting an animal into your bed that never wipes or washes it's anus. Nasty!

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72756950


If you're really concerned about fungus, then treat the fungus on your body.

In lieu of that, use either

1. Baking soda in the wash (it's fungistatic - stops fungi from reproducing AND 1.5 cups of white distilled vinegar in your rinse cycle


[link to s3.wp.wsu.edu (secure)]



or

2. Use Lysol Laundry Sanitizer during your wash (if you don't mind the chemicals)

[link to askinglot.com (secure)]



In both cases you should use the hot water setting and use the hottest setting your dryer has.

washing your pillow is more important than washing your sheets, your pillow is where you put your face 8 hours a day.

and if you only wash the pillow cases whatever is in the pillow will seep through in a few days.

If i'm too lazy to wash the pillow or cases i spray the pillow case, inside and out with bleach solution , it works.

you will never get sick if you do that
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72756950


I lay a nice fluffy towel on top of my pillow and change it about every 5 days. Super fast to snatch the old towel off and replace.

That way, facial oils, drool, whatever are not constantly oozing into the pillow contents.

I'm thinking I should get a Nobel prize or something for that little invention.

Maybe they should invest in four or so sets of sheets. Change them and dump the dirty ones in a pile and wash them and throw them in the dryer while go out shopping for food, it’s super easy to not be disgusting.

just another opportunity to virture signal ... why would I give a fuck about when my neighbors change their sheets... I'm not sleeping in their bed ...

but just some friendly advice, if you have oily skin, it will shred your cotton sheets if you don't wash them at least once a week ... or if you have dry cracked heels, they will tear your sheets to shreds


or you can adopt the millineal mentality, and just not use sheets ... sleep in your clothes until they stink, shop at the goodwill and toss the old clothes - use paper plates, don't waste your precious water or time, washing
