I have never washed my sheets. The only time they get washed is when my mom washes them, which is only when I move from college to my house for the summer, so they haven't been washed since this summer.

Eww, nasty...

Twice a week... but then mine get more use... Perhaps after I'm married, every other week will be enough. :( :( :(

If the woman is actually complaining about your sheets, that's a hint to change them more often. ;)

umm... when i can't stand the stench, which usually gets up to 5-6weeks before they really start to smell.


Bed Covers are great! no one can tell :)

LOL! That's the major thing I'm asking Thumper to do, laundry...

I'll do the dishes, clean the floor, whatever... Just please no laundry... Unless I guess we're doing it together, I'll pitch in if she wants. :) But then it isn't laundry, it is "quality time". ;)

OMG, you guys are nasty...

After three or four days, they are no longer "clean", and need to be washed. I keep four sets of sheets so I can swap them out during the week without doing laundry until the weekend.

You need to change your name to "StinkySheets"
