I change sheets at least ONCE a week, if it is summer i do it every 3 or 4 days. If there is some stain or body fluids on I wash it that instance. Most sheets i use are white or gray and i wash then on highest heat something like 90° C. If sheets get some holes and fabric is in bad shape, we recycle them or throw away. If there is some rash on my skin, i wash bed sheets even more often.

Emily Post reccommends three sets of sheets for each bed and two sets at the minimum, alternating the sets by week. Sheets should be washed every week or every two weeks at the most.

I change my sheets once every week or week and a half on average. I’m a single guy. I don’t go through all the stuff he stated. I throw them in the machine with some soap and other clothes until it’s almost a full load. Turn it on cold/warm and then dry on high. Never had an issue.

I wash my hair and shower every night. I also wear undereear and pajamas. I change them every 2 weeks. I have asthma and allergies so if I'm sick I do more often.

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.

Washing in hot water actually sets a stain, especially blood.

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.

I always wash bedding in hot water. Same with towels

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.

Solution for that woman, but another set of sheets for each bed. You get some cheap ones so there's no excuse to only have one set per bed. Bit stupid really to complain about it.

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.

[issaissachur]

Is changing sheets once a week ok? Because I hate sleeping on dirty sheets but I don't know if changing them once a week is good enough.

[jessalvarez]

21 year old guy here; I wash my sheets every 10-14 days

[supergran]

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.

I’m a single man and I wash my sheets and blanket and pillowcase once a week. I’ve noticed I sleep way better in clean sheets 😊

[willowwhisper]

I change them every two weeks, I shower before going to bed though

[HeavymetalHylian]

Having only one set of sheets is only a problem if you're a procrastinator. Put everything away as soon as it's dry.
