Since I work in a movie theatre, I change them one a week, usually without fail. Pillow case covers also.
My comforter cover about once every two months or so.
Always hang my sheets on the line, no fabric softner. Just a nice clean smell.
Laundromat is right on, HEB brand is a wonderful smell.

Every week, sometimes twice a week

Well....

I like my sheets changed daily and ironed. One of life's little luxuries. Mark Lightedcontrols

I change my sheets once a week. I wash them in very hot water with no FS and then tumble dry them. I hung them out at one point, but with dogs in the backyard I've not done that in a while. I do prefer sheets that have been hung out to dry, however.

I iron my pillowcases but rarely have the patience to iron the sheets. Mark, do you use a mangle or do you iron them by hand?

My housekeeper uses a Meile ironer. I don't let her use the old ones! Mark

Like a flower.....waiting to bloom.

All the "active" people are starting to depress me...

Weekly... I have two sets for my bed, one for the guest bed and 3 for my son's. Hot water for all bedding - quilts/duvets and mattress pads monthly. I line dry most everything, outside weather permitting and inside line otherwise.

Line Drying

When I lived with my Mom, we always hung out clothes. I loved how fresh everything would smell. I would start washing early in the morning, and leave everything on the lines for several hours after they were dried, unless a neighbor would start burning trash, then everything came in ASAP.

I have never ironed my sheets or pillowcases, but my Mom told me that when she was little they ironed just about everything. My how the times have changed. I have an iron somewhere in the house, exactly where I couldn't say. I don't have an ironing board. I have been thinking about getting an ironing board that you hang on a door.

Every week without fail....

I have six sets of sheets for my bed and I change them every Saturday or sooner if something has "occurred". Yeah, so, like I said, every Saturday. I love settling down in bed after placing fresh sheets on the bed. Such a wonderful feeling. I always wash them in Persil and with a touch of Midnight Garden Downey in the rinse. They smell awesome and hold their fragrance when they are in storage for a long time.

Jackie Kennedy

I remember reading a few years back, that Jackie Kennedy liked her sheets changed every three days. She insisted on 900 thread count all cotton and ironed with starch. Mark

IIRC,

Story goes as First Lady, Mrs. Kennedy had her family's bed linens changed twice per day. Once in the morning and again in late afternoon. This tradition grew out of changing linens once after they had been slept in the night before, then again later in the day if someone took a nap; thus one always slept on "clean" linens.

Worth pointing out that Mrs. Kennedy at that time had an army of servants paid for by tax payers. While help still may have been cheap in the 1960's, cannot imagine many clug to those old ways for long. First of all it produces moutians of linens per day, and someone has to do all that washing and ironing.

 

[swestoyz]

Sunday is usually white wash day - bed sheets, white T's, socks, A-shirts; the usual. So, sheets are usually is washed every week, or max every other week.

You're depressed Greg? ;-) I'm to the point where I may as well become a priest.

Once a week from March - May and August-November (perfect weather)
Twice a week from November to February (Hot Humid and generally unpleasant)
Once a fortnight from May to August when it is cool and the Doona goes on the bed.

We have 7 sets of sheets that I try and rotate between the two beds, all get washed at 50degC with a good detergent and Line dried either inside or out. They usually get changed on Sunday which leaves Saturday to complete the shirts, clothes, towels and the mountain of ironing I get through.

Cotton 600 Thread Count Egyptian Cotton, Wash in hot water, 1/2 cup of liquid starch in the rinse. Dry, sprinkle down with ironing spray that has a fantastic scent. Damp iron on Ironrite ironer. Cool, crisp and comfortable until the next washing 1 week later.

Ben & Greg

I'm in the same boat with the two of you. This "dry" spell has turned into an endless drought, LOL.
