Single men of Reddit how often do you honestly change your bed sheets?

44 comments

1. Once a week

2. Like every week or every other week

3. Washing them every 1-2 weeks.

4. Once a month.

5. I rotate between two different beds and the couch in the basement with no rhyme or reason but I’m washing one set of sheets or the other every 2-3 weeks.

6. Weekly.

7. I only have one set, but I wash them every Sunday. When they start to wear out, I buy a new set and replace them.

8. Every Saturday is sheet day

9. Honestly, I only ever do if I think I might be bringing someone over.

   Other than that, it’s not like it gets that dirty. I just gotta brush the crumbs off and throw away my tuna wrappers, and it’s good enough for me.

10. Every other Friday

11. Every week

12. [deleted]

13. Honestly, once a month. Dishonestly, I may change them every other week.

14. 1-2x per week

15. Ah ha! I sleep on the sofa…

16. Dude when I was single I was horrible at that. Maybe once a month

17. I change ’em every Sunday. That’s my laundry day.

18. Once every two weeks, three at max.

19. Every time I change my sheets, I do it honestly.

    This happens once a week.

20. I shoot for every two weeks, but it’s probably more of once a month.

21. I don’t change the sheets and use the same ones depending on season, but wash sheets weekly, and wash pillows and duvet monthly.

22. Give ’em a wash every month, among with the blanket and pillow case. Do it in the morning – by night they are ready to be used again.

23. Weekly. I’ve been doing my best to improve on keeping the bedroom clean. Cleaning up trash, keeping up with laundry, changing the sheets weekly, and dusting/vacuuming. Got an air purifier as well. I’m a stay at home dad and my wife comes home tired from work. I do my best to make the place we sleep comfortable and clean.

24. Probably like once every 3 weeks or so

    Reason being:

    Who am I even having over to keep appearances?

25. When I was single, I usually changed them weekly. Very rarely went more than two weeks.

26. About monthly, give or take, if I anticipated ‘company’ I would likely clean on a more regular basis.

27. Every week.

28. When I was single, weekly along with towels. My dog and cat to a lesser extent get them dirtier faster.

29. In pushing myself to do it weekly, but from experience, every 2-3 weeks

30. It hasn’t changed since I’ve been married. It’s always been once a week and I probably change my head pillow sheet one more time mid-week.

31. Once a week.

    Unless they get soiled somehow. Like if my dog got sick and threw up.

32. once a week

33. 1x per week

34. I think I honestly went like 5 months before my latest wash. Not proud of it but I’m a single lazy bastard

35. Every weekend…if I feel like it

36. Reading comments there is a divide in single men that needs to be made:
    Those who have access to a washing machine at any time

    Those who have to pay for the use of a washing machine.

37. Apparently I’m in the minority and I’m going to say months potentially – I have no clue. Maybe if I’m having a guest sleep in my bed or having a sexual partner over. I’m sure I’m a little nose blind but I’m not positive why I would go through the hassle unless they smelled or were visibly dirty. Maybe I just don’t sweat that bad?

38. Once a week

39. Every 2 to 3 weeks, mainly cuz my mom asks me to

40. When I was single I had the whole weekly routine of washing, ironing and changing my bed sheets. Made me feel more at home in my tiny rental apartment.

41. Once a week

42. Changing the sheets & washing my sheets are 2 entirely different questions..

43. every few months

44. Oh boy….. not nearly enough. I noticed a big tear in my sheet a month ago, instead of replacing it I just rotated the sheet. I’m single and have a big bed.
