Washing Kids Sheets

What? We're supposed to do this weekly? What page of the handbook was THAT on? (Wait...where's my handbook...?) :)

I don't actually wash the sheets that often. The kids go to bed clean, so unless they're sick or sweating a lot at night, I don't see a reason to wash the sheets every week.

Do they go to bed clean? Then yes, twice month is fine. We do about once a month with Kiddo's sheets. And we always wash them after he's been ill. Pillows, too, then.

I'm with Penny-- it didn't come in the manual with the kid!

uh - bimonthly? I've never understood more than once a week... If people are naked and having sex, sure. But when someone is sleeping in pj's, unless it hot summertime, I don't see how the actual sheets get that dirty. Pillow case yes. But sheets no. So in our house, every 2 weeks.

eh....I don't wash their sheets very often, truthfully.
I wash their pillow case once or twice a week, but their actual sheets get washed about once a month. (unless they have been sick)
L.

More than once a week to me is too much unless they peed on them. That's waisting water doing it more than that.

My kids take baths right before they go to bed. Unless they are having accidents, their sheets don't get washed more often than once a month.

Yes, I'd give up one some of the sheet washing. It will help you find balance with your new load.

I can't imagine washing sheets multiple times a week. I wash the kids sheets once a month.

As need here. I have a family of 10...that's a lot of laundry without throwing in all of the bedding. The older kids wash their own whenever they feel the need. I try for at least monthly with the younger ones, but sometime a little bit more then that during the summer.

People actually want to, and have time to wash their sheets twice a week?!! I wash them when they seem dirty... probably every couple of weeks or so.

once or twice a month. they arent dirty little creatures. they shower before bed so no need.unless they are sick

I AIM for once per week.
Sometimes it's two weeks.
Nightly showers and AC makes any more gran that a waster of time, effort and soap and water, IMO.

Wow I have never thought of washing sheets twice a week.
There is no need to.
I wash sheets once a week. If that.

We wash them once a week at most, usually every two weeks. DD has a bath and goes to bed in clean jammies nearly every night. We wash her pjs more than some people, but her sheets are not washed as often. Accidents are of course an exception and by the time they need them washed more often, they are old enough to help, IMO.

weekly, if that. :)

never heard of biweekly!

Once a week for us, unless the little one has had an accident.

My kids are lucky if I do them once a week! They bathe/shower nightly and unless they are sick or something I try to wash them every saturday.

I wash bedding when it starts to smell funky or when it has enough animal hair on it to braid.

Penny N. - There's a handbook?

I wash the sheets once a month. I use non-toxic laundry detergent and dry them on a high setting. During the summer, one of my kids tends to sweat at night. I wash her sheets once a week in the summer months.

I wash the pillow cases more often.

once a week unless the sheets get peed on.
there is plenty of laundry with clothes at my house..

some weeks I might have the kids on the same sheets for even slightly more than a week.. 8 days..

Once a week, if they're lucky.

Once a month! My kids bathe regularly, they sleep in clean pj's, they aren't sweaty and they aren't peeing the bed. The sheets aren't getting terribly dirty.

Ha Ha Ha - every few months. I change their pillow cases all the time, but the sheets - ha ha ha. If there was an accident, of course, but in general, I don't have that kind of time.

I wash them about once or twice per month. They aren't stinky and sweaty like adults when they go to bed so I'm okay with that.

I though you were nuts, talking about washing sheets twice a week...and then I read your SWH.

Honestly, since my kids are only 2 and 7 and don't really sweat yet, generally go to bed clean, and don't wet the bed (well, one's still in diapers) sheets on my bunk bed go for 3 weeks, sometimes. Shhh, don't tell my mom.

Once a week. Sometimes we'll skip a week in the winter.

I'm kinda OCD about this. I do wash mine at least once a week. I love the smell of clean sheets. My kids take a bath every night before bed and in the morning a shower. I like to go to bed clean and I like a shower to wake me up so I think Ive passed it on to them too.

We wash all sheets once a week at our house.

I always did them once a week, nothing better than clean, fresh sheets.
Beds get stinky if you dont wash the bedding on a regular basis.
