How often do you wash your sheets?

[HypoPita]

The purpose of showering in the morning is more for the benefit of other people as it keeps you less smelly through the day Same with after exercising.

Is it bad if I live on my own in an apartment and my parents visit maybe 3 times a year and I still put "I don't know my mom washes them?"

That is bad!!!!

When the apartment I lived in had a washer and dryer I washed them every 10 days.

Now that I only have a washer and have to take my things to a laundromat to dry them I wash the sheets about once a month.

This thread really makes me miss my dryer.

I know you feel! I was SOOOO happy when we bought our house and could actually wash our laundry! I HATE laundromats!

This may be too much info but I saw on dirty jobs that a mattress can gain up to 20lbs due to skin and dirt over it's life span. I'll bet that is determined by how often sheets are washed. Just food for thought. LOL

Ewww that is pretty sick

I have heard that 80% of dusk is human skin

I live at an apartment and we have laundry facilities but its 1.25 to dry and 1.50 to wash so I wash my sheets maybe every 2 months? I shower before bed too because I'm not waking up with enough time to do it in the morning and I guarantee you with as cold as I keep my room I dont sweat at night. However, theres already enough junk floating around you get covered in stuff right after you shower anyway.

..................... It costs me 5 dollars to wash my sheets. Thats just the sheets and pillow case... thats all.... Thats half the cost of typical laundry for me and means I have to get another roll of quarters... Come on man.

For YEARS I was a laundry mat rat - every week, without fail, I was at the laundry mat (up to as recently as 5 years ago). I still washed my sheets every single week. And if I couldn't wash them, I have 4 other sets of sheets that I can at least change them on a weekly basis.

Then a neighbor moved out a few years ago, and didn't want to take her washer and dryer (a year old at the time) with her, and sold the pair to me for $100. I am soooo glad that I'm not fighting people for dryers any longer.

When I was growing up my mom used to use flat sheets for both the bottom and the top. Then she would take the bottom sheet off after a week to wash. The top sheet then went on the bottom and the new clean sheet went on as the new top sheet. She told us only the bottom sheets really get dirty. I hadn't remembered that until this pole!

Well if I had the money I'd wash my sheets a little more, but being a full time student and only working 10 hours a week doesn't get you too far.

I feel ya! Although I work a bit more than that, it's sooooo expensive to wash your clothes if you don't own a washer or dryer.

We bought a washer dryer set about 2 years ago and I figured it up that the washer and dryer paid for themselves after I went through TWO laundry soap bottles. Well worth it! Our laundromat was EXPENSIVE $5 wash and dry per load. Our water bill is only $20 a month and it's an energy star so I'm sure it doesn't cost much to run it. Thank god for living in a small town! I love our city bill, the highest it's ever been was $40!
