I change sheets at least ONCE a week, if it is summer i do it every 3 or 4 days. If there is some stain or body fluids on I wash it that instance. Most sheets i use are white or gray and i wash then on highest heat something like 90° C. If sheets get some holes and fabric is in bad shape, we recycle them or throw away. If there is some rash on my skin, i wash bed sheets even more often.
Well, I wash my sheets at least TEN times A DAY in straight BLEACH. And if I get a rash on my skin, I burn down the house.

Thank u! Some people wait 2 weeks I think that’s a bit much
@@Idkjustyet a lot of people don't have the time. It also depends on when they shower. I change my sheets every two weeks but I shower at night, before bed.
I change my sheets once every week or week and a half on average. I’m a single guy. I don’t go through all the stuff he stated. I throw them in the machine with some soap and other clothes until it’s almost a full load. Turn it on cold/warm and then dry on high. Never had an issue.
that is what i do as well
Same
i dry on delicate and take them out before they're completely and let them hang & air-dry, but that's because I don't want to burn the fibers, shrink the sheets, or cause piling
Your Mama raised you right. 😊
People with dust mite allergies need to wash sheets as warm or hot as possible for the fabric, and dry fully either by dryer or in sunlight. You are probably not allergic to the mites.
I can’t believe some men only wash there sheets three time a year. I’m a single man and I wash my sheets at least once a week, sometime more. I also make my bed every day.
More than once a week isn’t good
Emily Post reccommends three sets of sheets for each bed and two sets at the minimum, alternating the sets by week. Sheets should be washed every week or every two weeks at the most.
Can’t go wrong with Emily Post.
Who’s Emily post
definitely once a week! 🥰
Me personally once a week if the weather is hot, for obvious reasons. Sometimes within upto two weeks if the weather is cooler because I can't fit all my laundry in a single wash I have to plan a later wash. I always keep the mattress sheet ventilated and the windows open plus I usually shower twice a day. I do feel the benefit of clean sheets when I want a decent night's sleep.
Solution for that woman, but another set of sheets for each bed. You get some cheap ones so there's no excuse to only have one set per bed. Bit stupid really to complain about it.
@McKenzie Smith that's stupid. I just bought 2 more sheets for $12 each at target and on Amazon. It's not that expensive. I only have 3 but she should have at least 2 per bed
@@leklekjasmine416 hell im grown and i only have one set at the moment. It does get wash often bc i have a washer and dryer at home. I dnt like cheap sheets also i have a king size so my sheets cost me more than $12.00. I have too many more important things that's taking my money. You don't know this woman situation. Im glad you was able to find you some sheets for $12.00.smh
lady o lmao i have like 100dollars in sheets. Just dont be poor
@McKenzie Smith if you can't afford good sheets you shouldn't be having children to begin with.
That was my first thought as well. Who the heck only has one set per bed?
I always wash bedding in hot water. Same with towels
Washing in hot water actually sets a stain, especially blood.
Actually, you its the dryer that sets in stains. Really you should scrub stains before throwing them in the washer.
If you dont wash your sheets in hot water its not killing germs. Tbis is why i sleep in my bed or take my own sheets. Bc everybody washing habits are different. Ocd is a bjt$!
lady o wow, this is interesting. Does this kill germs in your bath towels as well? If you wash them in hot water?
lady o
🙋🏼♀️
GOOD LIVING, I have a set of sheets that I use during my menstrual cycle that I don’t worry about a little blood stain. Otherwise, if I need to, I will first rinse the affected area in cold water to remove the blood, then proceed with hot water for the actual wash cycle. I ALWAYS wash sheets and towels in HOT water.
I wash my hair and shower every night. I also wear undereear and pajamas. I change them every 2 weeks. I have asthma and allergies so if I'm sick I do more often.
Get 4 sets of whatever fabric type of sheets you prefer and change them weekly. You have leeway for a cleaning schedule and any potential accidents.
21 year old guy here; I wash my sheets every 10-14 days
Hugo you want an award
High you've made your mother proud.
Well done!
Wow you’re a functional human being with some form of hygiene standard. Do you want a gold star for showering everyday too? 🙄
I am 15. Anyone else under 18?
Me
Wash as heavy duty load with cold water detergent and oxi clean... i wash twice and rinse twice... low heat dry... also if you have a mattress protector wash and dry it the same way.
Wash on warm or hot. Oxy works better in hotter temperatures
I change mines every 3 days. It helps with my acne
Not healthy nor is it good for the longevity of your bedding. Just cleanse your face before bed and shower. You can rotate your pillow flip it over if you’re that paranoid. Then use your other pillow. Once a week is fine and even once every 2 weeks unless you get into bed dirty without showering.
so when washing sheets doni wash mybsheets with a gentle detergent i wish there was soap for sheets specificly unless youncan just wash them with a gentle detergent 🤔 beacsue inalways wash them with that but im curious what everyone uses ? what kind of soaps people use to wash there sheets with 🤗🤔🤗
Good old tide pods
@@Eirelav25 omgosh thankyou so i just throw them in the washing machind then and thats it i dony need nohing else in there
I change my sheets and pillow cases at least once a week. Wash at 40 degrees C. The lady who spends 3 hours washing and drying her sheets - you don't! The machine does it for you! The amount of time you actually spend spend stripping the bed, washing, drying and remaking is probably no more than an hour even with a family.
Change mine like 2 times a week and I'm 14 lol
How often should I change my wash cloths ?
Everyday
Is changing sheets once a week ok? Because I hate sleeping on dirty sheets but I don't know if changing them once a week is good enough.
David Wilson
Once a week is plenty often enough.
GOOD LIVING if you shower before going to bed once a week is overkill
WATCH THE VIDEO. He literally said, in the video, once a week is plenty. 😑🙄
If you find yourself dirtying up your fitted sheets faster then once a week use the flat sheet over the fitted and after a couple days take it off and sleep on the normal fitted sheet and after a couple days wash both and repeat. That way you are not over washing your sheets and they will last longer and you’ll feel cleaner on your sheets.
I used to change mine 2-3 times a week when my daughter was in diapers so many damn accidents. Now I do it about 3 sometimes 4 times a month
I change my sheet every 4 months or not even change my sheet :/...
Ekk. Gross and discusting
Does changing sheets mean changing the sheet itself and throwing it out or can I just wash the single sheet set once and reuse it for the next week?
Reuse
You’re joking. Obviously they mean wash them once a week, not burn them in a bonfire. Maybe you can do that after many years and they look tired.
@@User-cb4jm I assumed so but just wanted to be sure haha. Sorry my comment may have been a bit annoying.
Having only one set of sheets is only a problem if you're a procrastinator. Put everything away as soon as it's dry.
She has 4 beds to wash sheets for though. That was the issue.
@@stefs3460she could just wash them on different days
I change them every two weeks, I shower before going to bed though
Gross.
Once a month I’m 79
Once every 2 week is fine , it just me and my bed so I do it once every 2 or 3 week depend
@@mv28 stop being a clean freak
Manuel Villarreal literally how is that gross
The lady in the audience needs to buy more sheets for her kids if she's too busy to wash one set regularly. And it doesn't take 3 hours!!
I don't change them that often but they are washed alot
The Lord Jesus Christ ?
You should NOT wad sheets to wash. The agitation is what actually cleans laundry. Shower before bed, wear clean clothing to bed and washing sheets every two weeks is fine unless pets sleep in the bed or you eat in bed, then you need to wash every week.
I agree
Exactly
Thank you! All it does is trap the dirt and skin that he was complaining about and doesn’t let it rinse out as it should. Last time I let a man lecture me on HYGIENE, of all things.
If you have dust mite allergies you should wash weekly.
Please don’t wash your expensive cotton on a hot wash especially Egyptian cotton. it will ruin your sheets. Put it on a 30 degree wash or lower and use baking soda with a little detergent, preferably a detergent that doesn’t have bleach, you could also use some white distilled vinegar. Stay away from fabric softener.
Am I the only one washing when momy says so
I’m a single man and I wash my sheets and blanket and pillowcase once a week. I’ve noticed I sleep way better in clean sheets 😊
I haven’t changed my sheets in like 7 months
Wash them ASAP
Hero ewww! I wouldn’t date someone who rarely wash sheets!
Get help! 😨🤢🤮🖕
🤮😂
ROFL I wash mine like twice a year 😂
I do once a month. No issues here
Exactly especially if you’re showering and clean before bed. Even though I do mine 10-14 days
I didn’t know
two weeks is appropriate I think
I’m a recently divorced 30 yr old man, and I change my sheets once a week now. Me and my ex wife used to leave them on forever. YUCK 🤢
I do it 1 a week
Yeah, people totally missed what he said. Read the tag and wash on the higher temperature. No bed linens read anything higher than warm. A girlfriend of mine ruined more sheets laundering in hot water, fabric softener, and too much detergent, along with drying too much.
And you don't roll everything into a ball, the washing machine will be bouncing around the laundry room.
Every week, hottest water setting, hottest dryer setting. Good and done!
I change my bed sheets when they start to smell. If they don't smell then I keep them up to 2 months without changing them.
Same. Probably about once a month on average.
Yikes. When you can smell your own funk (remember we are desensitised to our own), it’s gone way too far dude.
I live with 4 people so weekly isn’t an option I do it once a month.
An adult who bathes every day and is not sexually active, can probably go up to one month without washing their bedsheets depending on the climate they live in - unless they have health issues that require their sheets to be washed more often.
I am sorry, but I don't agree with how he washed bedding. I wash all sheets on a sanitary cycle, Extra Hot water, Heavy soil level, Extra High spin speed, PreWash. I rinse the bedding with vinegar.
I can’t believe that single man wash their sheets three times a year. I’m a single man and I wash my sheet ever week, unless I’m expecting an over night guest then more. I wash my mattress cover and steam my mattress every three months.
Not true. Cold water. Hot water will break down fibers much quicker
It doesn’t dissolve skin grease and oils. Warm water is enough, no need to go to either extreme.
Oh no i change mine about 3-4 times a year
yuh nasty!
Let’s be real. Same. Lol. Every 2 weeks is like Oof
@@bestedgarr523 fuck you
aint got no time to wash everyday
Like who the fk got time to wash every two weeks.. two weeks is way too fast wtf
Discusting to crawl into a bed that hasen't been washed in months. Gross and if you men want yhe women to come back then wash then asap.hot water is best. I hang mine outside to dry in the sunshine but if you have allergys then dry on hot setting. Kills germs and makecthe bed feel so good
Buy more sheets.
Jose Martinez that’s why I have 10 expensive sheets and 20 cheaper sheets.
i change mine every three days lol
It makes a difference if you shower before bed, so once every 3 to 4 weeks is fine.
If you don't sweat at night sure
Single guy here, but I must say what a stupid statistic lol. I change my sheets every week. Isn’t this common sense wtf ??
Nope not common. Lot of young guys are frat pigs. We are in the minority :(
Wash once a week, don't lay in bed if you're dirty, shower first, it's pretty simple tbh.
I change my bedding two times one semester ...I am 19...😂
Do not let linens touch your uniform!…any nurses remember that
all my sheets say to wash in cold 🥶 wtf?
Ignore it. Use warm at least.
Every 2 weeks man.
I change mine like once in 15 days but I guess now I should wash them once per week 😂
No you’re fine I do the same
Once every 2 weeks. Just shower before bed and you’re all good
And she can't buy a spare set of sheets? Strange!!
This is how often u really need to shower
i change my sheets once a month because i clean my room once a month :(
The lady could buy a second pair of sheets.. just saying
Three times a year? One reason married men live longer, lol.
Retired Early 53 That really depends on the husband, the wife and what each of their expectations are. I am sure that if a husband has a wife that just changes the sheets on her own without asking him to do it, it would actually be appreciated by the husband. Fresh sheets are a pleasurable experience that most people seem to enjoy.
For his wife to change his sheets like mommy would 😂 Grown men need to act like adults, not children - that is how my parents raised me - and I’m still a teen! My mother is not my maid, and my future wife sure as hell ain’t. I know how to use a washing machine and a vacuum and my room is the cleanest one in the house. If anything I’m on THEIR case as to why their room is a mess or their sheets have been on forever.
One of the things that the movie Don Jon taught me was to change your sheets often😂😂
Once a month is legit, maybe twice
Washing the fitted sheet in hot water or drying it in the dryer will ruin the elastic, as with underwear and socks. Always wash stretchy clothes or elastic in cold water and line dry.
Simply not true hi can cook a fitter sheet nothing will happen
Underwear must be cleaned
That woman in the audience, looks infuriated at the fact that she has to change her kids sheets once a week...
Moms and dads need to quit raising bummy guys. I get stuff changes for busier seasons but for a regular standard it's not acceptable. My parents are messy and I turned myself around so no excuse.
My home is immaculate but my 21yo son choses to live like a pig, that ain't on me.
Once a month, good enough
I really wanted to hear the response of those women. Sometimes I feel like this guy talks nonsense
Yea he’s full of shit. Complains of the dead skin cells but then balls the sheets up so that there’s no chance for it to be cleaned and rinsed properly. The woman was in the wrong too, just buy another $10 set of sheets. She’s making life hard for herself needing to wash and dry the same one immediately after. You don’t need 10 spares, just 1 spare for each bed to alternate with is the common sense solution.
Who are these men sorry you talking about yourself ?
Wait, we're supposed to wash our sheets?
Just change sheets everyday
Waste of water, electricity, time, money, detergent and everything in between. Once a week is enough - and it looks like a lot of people can’t even do that…
I change my sheets every 8-10 days so about 3 times a month. I feel disgusting if I don’t. I shower then get into new ones. People who don’t do it at least 2/3 times a day month are gross 🤮🥱
