Dirty Laundry



A study reveals that half a million Brits wash their bed sheets only THREE TIMES A YEAR!

One in six people admit to waiting at least four weeks before washing their sheets.

A regional chart in this article shows that Londoners are the laziest. 24% said they left it at least a month between washes.

Half of all people surveyed admitted to eating in bed which makes it seem all the muckier, doesn’t it?

Hygiene expert Dr Lisa Ackerley says, "You need to wash your bed linen at least once a fortnight*, and preferably once a week."

So... How often do you wash your bed sheets? (All nationalities may confess).



*fortnight=14 days

    I make my living in my bed so at least 7 times a day sometimes more if I'm having a good day.

  4. Once a week, but I don't know why I bother.

  5. Whenever I have sex.
    So, that's like once every two decades or so.

  6. So the story about those lovely English and their aversion to washing is true? I always thought that it just applied to the use of soap.... Not to worry.
    Perhaps offering one of these These might provide some encouragement...

    I find that washing sheets weekly is a must...
    Something to do with the smell of fresh sundrenched linen...

    You bother because it’s part of your job description…

    Fluffing Mistress MJ’s pillows and such.

    And two dancing naked dwarfs at the stroke of midnight à la the Elves and the Shoemaker.

  10. XL: Not naked, but dancing dwarfs!

    Infomaniac does not endorse the use of dancing dwarfs in the laundry room or involved in bed-making.

    They are likely to attempt to crush the bed.

    Couldn’t you use rubberized sheets?

    ReplyDelete
  12. You're supposed to wash them?

    I just let the dogs lick them clean.

  13. XL: Don't Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me The Pliers!

    I should think you wouldn’t want to hear the word ‘pliers’ ever again after your last trip to the dentist.

    In fact, I changed the bed linen last night!

    ReplyDelete

    With your skin condition, you really should consider changing your bed linen more frequently.

    SAVANNAH: once a week, sugar and since y'all didn't ask, the bath towels and rugs are changed twice a week and kitchen linens daily!

    I bet we could eat off your floors!

  18. Once a week, more if the cats vomit on the bed.

  19. RANDOM: Once a week, more if the cats vomit on the bed.

    You need this.

  20. At least once a week for me, too; more frequently if circumstances call for it. In fact, my sheets are in the wash right now with the rest of my laundry.

    ReplyDelete
  21. First of all, you have to 'splain fortnight? sheesh!

    Since the discovery of allergies, I try to do mine weekly to every other week but it depends on how sweaty husband gets.

    Note to Princess: Darling, they don't know sundrenched sheets here. When I tried to hang my clothes on the line when I moved from Sydney to L.A, the bitches started calling me Ellie May and made me use the dryer as they were embarrassed for me!

    I want to come and live in Savannah's house! Can I eat off your floors too?!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Yes, let's all go over to Savannah's house. She's a good cook and has a well-stocked liquor cabinet!

    ReplyDelete
  23. EROS, LA DIVA CUCINA AND XL: Don't head out to Savannah's yet...

    There's a day of beauty coming up!

  24. Who exactly makes these studies, and who else is dumb enough to admit washing bed sheets only a few times a year ?

  27. SERAPH + SPLENDOR: ...we are quite addicted to slutty black satin sheets...those bitches need laundered as we speak...damn...

    Funny you should mention that as I was visiting a friend recently and commented on the sluttiness of his black satin sheets.

    If there are universal symbols of sluttiness, surely black satin sheets are in the top 10.

  28. I can be slutty regardless of accessories.
