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
Firs.
ReplyDeleteI make my living in my bed so at least 7 times a day sometimes more if I'm having a good day.
AYEM8Y: You may be the cleanest filthy bitch on Infomaniac!
ReplyDeleteI have disposable sheets. Packs and packs of disposable sheets.
ReplyDeleteOnce a week, but I don't know why I bother.
ReplyDeleteWhenever I have sex.
ReplyDeleteSo, that's like once every two decades or so.
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.
ReplyDeletePerhaps 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...
Erm....?
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm....
*Blushes and runs away*
Sx
The tooth fairy has always done mine.
ReplyDeleteXL: Once a week, but I don't know why I bother.
ReplyDeleteYou bother because it’s part of your job description…
Fluffing Mistress MJ’s pillows and such.
JASON: Whenever I have sex.
So, that's like once every two decades or so.

Is that strapping young fella in the photo Swiss?
I see a white cross on some of his smalls.

Filthy Brit alert!!!
GEOFF: The tooth fairy has always done mine.
And two dancing naked dwarfs at the stroke of midnight à la the Elves and the Shoemaker.
Not naked, but dancing dwarfs!
ReplyDeleteXL: Not naked, but dancing dwarfs!
ReplyDeleteInfomaniac 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.
AYEM8Y: I have disposable sheets. Packs and packs of disposable sheets.
ReplyDeleteCouldn’t you use rubberized sheets?
Don't Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me The Pliers!
ReplyDeleteYou're supposed to wash them?
ReplyDeleteI just let the dogs lick them clean.
XL: Don't Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me The Pliers!
ReplyDeleteI should think you wouldn’t want to hear the word ‘pliers’ ever again after your last trip to the dentist.
KAPI: You're supposed to wash them?

Another filthy Brit!
Hmm... Ours are washed at least once a fortnight, so Dr Lisa Ackerley can relax.
ReplyDeleteIn fact, I changed the bed linen last night!
And, the bed, pillows and duvet were aired all day, and freshened up with a spray of Febreze!
ReplyDeleteonce a week, sugar and since y'all didn't ask, the bath towels and rugs are changed twice a week and kitchen linens daily! xoxoxox

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!
Once a week, more if the cats vomit on the bed.
ReplyDeleteRANDOM: Once a week, more if the cats vomit on the bed.
ReplyDeleteYou need this.
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.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, you have to 'splain fortnight? sheesh!
ReplyDeleteSince 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?!
Yes, let's all go over to Savannah's house. She's a good cook and has a well-stocked liquor cabinet!
ReplyDeleteEROS, LA DIVA CUCINA AND XL: Don't head out to Savannah's yet...
ReplyDeleteThere's a day of beauty coming up!
Who exactly makes these studies, and who else is dumb enough to admit washing bed sheets only a few times a year ?

SERAPH + SPLENDOR: ...we are quite addicted to slutty black satin sheets...those bitches need laundered as we speak...damn...
ReplyDeleteFunny 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.
I can be slutty regardless of accessories.
ReplyDeleteXL: I can be slutty regardless of accessories.
ReplyDeleteOh my!
two times per week.
