I just get the new ones out before taking off the old ones. And I attach the corners to the matress with safety pins so they stay put for the following 6 months.
I'm learning that some people don't have more than one set of sheets. We are privileged.
And.. 6 months?
6 months?? 🤢
Are you the sheet police?
I don't know how often I should change my bed sheets. I do it like once a month or so, but I have friends that do it every week and it made me feel like I'm really gross.
I wash my sheets every other time i do laundry which works out to about ever 2 weeks. I might wash them every week in the summer if im sweating at night.
Different strokes for different folks, but I really like fresh sheets so I wash them every Friday. Don't your sheets start to feel stale?
I don't have laundry in my apartment so washing sheets once a week is a big ask.
I probably exaggerated but when I was still depressed six months were definitely common. And before I came up with the safety pin technique they got undone constantly and were left in that state for days. They don't really get grimey but they accumulate lint and hair so I used to just vaccuum them from time to time. Changing them every week is surely great as a self care routine but I think six weeks are a reasonable maximum regarding hygiene.
