1976_Child Posted 23 December, 2011 Share Posted 23 December, 2011 I haven't changed the bed linen now for over three months and, to be honest, they are starting to ming a tad. Think I might pop them in the wash tomorrow so they are nice and fresh for Christmas. How often do you change them? And are you single or not? My hypothesis is that single blokes change the sheets less often than bints who prefer a nice clean nest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Who? Posted 23 December, 2011 Share Posted 23 December, 2011 Not often enough, we say we are going to do it ever week, but probably every couple of months or maybe even more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Who? Posted 23 December, 2011 Share Posted 23 December, 2011 But you still need to wash them before they are fitted..... No they go straight on the bed. I think in the olden days they used to tell you to wash them, but I do not think they do anymore? They may advise it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1976_Child Posted 23 December, 2011 Author Share Posted 23 December, 2011 But you still need to wash them before they are fitted..... exactly, otherwise they itch like fek! But I must admit that back in 2005 my then house mate and I decided to have a deep-clean of the kitchen. So we got going and soon came to the microwave. It was utterly minging. Fek that, thought we. It ended up in the skip two doors down and we bought a new one. Every few months we did the same until the cheap-as-chips microwaves from Comet dramatically rose in price from £19.99 to over £40. Then we went back to cleaning it after each use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1976_Child Posted 23 December, 2011 Author Share Posted 23 December, 2011 I guess the rate at which the sheets approach the 'ming horizon' depends upon whether or not one wears PJs in bed or slumber in the buff. I used to sleep in the nude, but the onset of a very scratchy crack meant skid marks on the duvet cover. Even I thought that was a regression too far away from civility so the jim-jams came back.

And anyway, I am being original; I am attempting to find a correlation between bachelor-hood and length of time sheets go unchanged versus couples.

dubai_phil Posted 23 December, 2011 Share Posted 23 December, 2011 I get my maid to do it every week. Oh and I make sure she irons them first. And none of that Polyester & cotton sh1t either, have to be pure Egyptian Cotton. (But then Turkish knew that ) Anyone else old enough to remember when your Mum came back & replaced your sheets with new ones from..... Wait for it...... Brentford Nylons?

bridge too far Posted 23 December, 2011 Share Posted 23 December, 2011 I vaguely remember Brentford Nylon sheets but I remember even more something my mother used to do when the sheets wore a bit thin in the middle. She'd cut down the middle and then sew the two outside edges together to form a 'new middle'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted 24 December, 2011 Share Posted 24 December, 2011 Surely a factor in this has to be when you shower. I shower in the evenings, so I'd imagine my sheets are cleaner for not having BO from my day to day adventures wiped all over them. I try to cange them every week but can never be arsed, so it often ends up being every 2 or 3 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
