How often?

How often do people wash their sheets I wonder. When I was little my Mum used to change the under-sheet every second week and the covering sheet every month. Those were the days when washing was a bit more difficult, and all sheets were mangled.

Nowadays I wash my sheets every second week. Does that make me dirty? Do people wash them more often? Is once a week more appropriate?

Mind you, I don't think my sheets get very dirty, it's more about cat hair these days. And every time I make my bed I have two little "helpers". They love it! Ducking under the sheet, preventing me from doing the bed, yes, they are really "helping".

But seriously, how often is common?

I usually change ours once a fornight too. but I don't let any pets sleep in my bed - ick! (although I guess I do let a baby who may puke or have a leaky nappy). What I find wierd here is I often see people hanging their (preumsably unwashed) bed covers out the window - don't they get more dirty from the window sill and the outside house wall?

Yes, I've seen that too and wondered why.

I'll take cat hair over vomit and shit anyday!
