Such a slob

Nobody’s going to die! I absolve you entirely from feeling like a slob (if that’s what you meant).

I change our beds every week or up to 10 days if we have family staying.
I would definitely find a launderette as it will only cost a couple of pounds in the dryer. Better thanthe damp musty smell when things don't dry fast enough

I use a flat sheet under my duvet so I wash the sheet weekly but cover only fortnightly. We have a super king duvet on a king size bed so that I can get at least some of the cover as DH is a cover hogger. I find changing the super king cover quite difficult hence the flat sheet to save some work.

This is where racks in kitchen came in , I remember my Nan hauling washing high in the kitchen. Lovely picture of domestic bliss , hardly it was grunt work for Nan and smelt of what ever had been cooked. I chuck bedding over banister, kids hang theirs from doors. Roll on pegging outside.

I change the fitted sheet and pillow cases every week, but in winter I always turn the duvet cover over and wash it every two weeks, no pets in the household. I do have a tumble dryer but can’t see the sense in paying for all that electricity unnecessarily ..

Posted too soon. Space for hangers above. I place this close to my dehumidifier and clothes dry in next to no time. Really handy this time of year.

I use a stand alone 6ft contraption, loosely called a dryer, with 3 levels and spae

Why do washing on a bad day?

I think you meant such a slog. Was imagining you were complaining about your OH 😆

Strangely as he has got older he is more fussy and now I leave things like the grill pan, or mucky saucepans for him to clean.

Do you hire him out? Willing to pay!

All depends how dirty the sleeper is doesn’t it? Pull duvet back and fling windows open every morning -the time it takes to visit the bathroom and get the kettle on can be enough.
Sometimes changing pillowcases is good enough.
.."?..And keeping pets of the bed, …not eating a flake in bed.

Sound advice!

I sleep alone, no pets (my cat sleeps with my daughter, not me!)

I used to wash the bedding weekly but nowadays I do it fortnightly in summer and every 3 weeks in the winter months.

No tumbledryer.

Heavens not changing your bedding for an extra week or more is not going to kill you. I doubt if you do hard manual work and I expect you bath and have clean jim jams!!

I would change them every day if I slept naked.

I change the beds every week but have been known to go a fortnight when unwell etc.

I remember being surprised when I read this in a magazine….

Why? She changes them too seldom? Or too often?

Some time ago I was seduced into buying a rather large, allegedly "fold-away" clothes-airer. All-singing, all-dancing, with racks that pull out and retractable sticks on the top to hook clothes-hangers on... Turned out to be a real white elephant, as it's too big to use indoors and too lightweight to put outside (the slightest breeze sends it toppling over). It stands in the garage like some monstrous sci-fi guardian of the dark. But it DOES come in handy when I have a really big item to dry. Cheaper than a tumble-dryer too.

Go to a launderette.

Not sure where there is one but it will be at least 40 minutes drive - I live in the Highlands.

I have never owned a tumble dryer, but if I cannot hang clothes outside, I use the 3 clothes dryers I have, and the heat from the house takes over.

I’d do the same Tizliz but I’ve never had a tumble dryer.

If you have a couple of dining chairs that are not covered in fabric you could arrange the chairs so that you can hang it over both, we have done this before.

The ironing board works quite well but need it to dry the sheet and pillow cases - rarely used for ironing! Good news is that the thaw has started and I might be able to find the washing line 🤣🤣

my tumble dryer died the week before we were due to move house. We decided not to replace the tumble dryer as we felt we could be more eco friendly etc
this resolution lasted less than a week I just could not cope!
