This Is How Often You Should REALLY Be Changing Your Sheets

Do not let linens touch your uniform!…any nurses remember that

I change my sheets and pillow cases at least once a week. Wash at 40 degrees C. The lady who spends 3 hours washing and drying her sheets - you don't! The machine does it for you! The amount of time you actually spend spend stripping the bed, washing, drying and remaking is probably no more than an hour even with a family.

Every week, hottest water setting, hottest dryer setting. Good and done!

Wash once a week, don't lay in bed if you're dirty, shower first, it's pretty simple tbh.

It makes a difference if you shower before bed, so once every 3 to 4 weeks is fine.

Once a month, good enough

I can’t believe that single man wash their sheets three times a year. I’m a single man and I wash my sheet ever week, unless I’m expecting an over night guest then more. I wash my mattress cover and steam my mattress every three months.

i change mine every three days lol

I didn’t know

The lady could buy a second pair of sheets.. just saying

Yeah, people totally missed what he said. Read the tag and wash on the higher temperature. No bed linens read anything higher than warm. A girlfriend of mine ruined more sheets laundering in hot water, fabric softener, and too much detergent, along with drying too much.
And you don't roll everything into a ball, the washing machine will be bouncing around the laundry room.

Get 4 sets of whatever fabric type of sheets you prefer and change them weekly. You have leeway for a cleaning schedule and any potential accidents.

Hold up. Folding the sheets IN the wash isn't going to get stains or embedded skin oil and cells out. If color and shape is a concern ditch the fitted sheet and do hospital corners with a flat sheet instead.

Moms and dads need to quit raising bummy guys. I get stuff changes for busier seasons but for a regular standard it's not acceptable. My parents are messy and I turned myself around so no excuse.

Please don’t wash your expensive cotton on a hot wash especially Egyptian cotton. it will ruin your sheets. Put it on a 30 degree wash or lower and use baking soda with a little detergent, preferably a detergent that doesn’t have bleach, you could also use some white distilled vinegar. Stay away from fabric softener.

And she can't buy a spare set of sheets? Strange!!

I live with 4 people so weekly isn’t an option I do it once a month.

The lady in the audience needs to buy more sheets for her kids if she's too busy to wash one set regularly. And it doesn't take 3 hours!!

I'm guilty!!! I use to wash my bed sheets 3-4 times a year in my 20s when I was single. My ex girlfriends use to do it every 1-3 weeks from memory. Seriously, it's better for health to expose yourself to a little bit of germs to keeps your immune system strong. If you don't work your muscles, they become weak just like your immune system. I haven't been sick in over 15 years now. Healthy food, exercise everyday and making sure I get my 7-8 of sleep and waking up when the sun comes up.

I really wanted to hear the response of those women. Sometimes I feel like this guy talks nonsense

Single guy here, but I must say what a stupid statistic lol. I change my sheets every week. Isn’t this common sense wtf ??

definitely once a week! 🥰

I do once a month. No issues here

I used to change mine 2-3 times a week when my daughter was in diapers so many damn accidents. Now I do it about 3 sometimes 4 times a month

You should NOT wad sheets to wash. The agitation is what actually cleans laundry. Shower before bed, wear clean clothing to bed and washing sheets every two weeks is fine unless pets sleep in the bed or you eat in bed, then you need to wash every week.

I can’t believe some men only wash there sheets three time a year. I’m a single man and I wash my sheets at least once a week, sometime more. I also make my bed every day.

One of the things that the movie Don Jon taught me was to change your sheets often😂😂

Does changing sheets mean changing the sheet itself and throwing it out or can I just wash the single sheet set once and reuse it for the next week?

Wait, we're supposed to wash our sheets?

Me personally once a week if the weather is hot, for obvious reasons. Sometimes within upto two weeks if the weather is cooler because I can't fit all my laundry in a single wash I have to plan a later wash. I always keep the mattress sheet ventilated and the windows open plus I usually shower twice a day. I do feel the benefit of clean sheets when I want a decent night's sleep.

I always wash bedding in hot water. Same with towels

I change mines every 3 days. It helps with my acne

I do it 1 a week

Lotta nasty lazy people.. I change mine every 2 weeks... When I am living with someone else I do it once a week... since sex more people on the bed.. more germs... But when I am alone def 2 weeks.. I dont lay on my bed UNTIL I SHOWER... and when I go out and come back home I shower cause I hate feeling dirty... I also clean my celphone Laptop etc.. every week... Idk how people are to lazy and nasty and dirty... (btw I hand wash my clothes and sheets.. No excuse to say I dont have money to go to the laundry mat...)

this is st upid. they only have 1 layer of sheets . lol

Just change sheets everyday

Please wash your sheets atleast 1 ( once) a week!!! I'm disgusted by all the adult's comments here. But If you are young and reading please make it a habit and know - you need to change your sheets atleast once every week.

How often should I change my wash cloths ?

Wash as heavy duty load with cold water detergent and oxi clean... i wash twice and rinse twice... low heat dry... also if you have a mattress protector wash and dry it the same way.

I change mine like once in 15 days but I guess now I should wash them once per week 😂

all my sheets say to wash in cold 🥶 wtf?

Not true. Cold water. Hot water will break down fibers much quicker

This is how often u really need to shower

so when washing sheets doni wash mybsheets with a gentle detergent i wish there was soap for sheets specificly unless youncan just wash them with a gentle detergent 🤔 beacsue inalways wash them with that but im curious what everyone uses ? what kind of soaps people use to wash there sheets with 🤗🤔🤗

Am I the only one washing when momy says so

I change my sheet every 4 months or not even change my sheet :/...

two weeks is appropriate I think

I'm a single 42 year old male. I wash my sheets about 1x every week and a half. I use the laundry room in my apartment building. It only washes cold or warm and then I dry them. I throw them in with towels and everything else. Never had an issue. Way too much energy into this guys method.

Three times a year? One reason married men live longer, lol.
