@AskAngelaBrown 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for sharing. Yes, seasons can also affect how often you wash the linens. I know in the wintertime my husband likes the house SUPER cold and there are nights I'm 7 layers deep in clothes (often gloves and a beanie hat) when I climb between the covers. So washing the sheets is not as much a priority as is the pillow case and the first layer of clothing I'm wearing.

I love the smell of freshly laundered bed linen, and there is nothing nicer than having a fresh shower in the evening after a long, tiring day, putting on fresh pajamas and lying in a clean, good-smelling bed. I change our duvet covers at least once a week, more often (especially in summer), because our dogs sometimes sleep in our bed at the foot of the bed. Since one of the dogs is allergic to dust mites, we also have these special covers, which I wash every two weeks, the actual pillows and blankets (inlets) every four weeks. In order to completely remove the dog's hair from the duvet covers, I put them in the tumble dryer for 30 minutes at a low temperature after washing, then I hang them on the clothesline to dry (I try to use as little electricity as possible). When I was still working in the hospital (I am a nurse) I changed the bedclothes at least once in my shift for completely bedridden patients (and at the same time did at least one little "cat wash" - face, hands, private parts-). This has often had a visibly positive effect on their wellbeing; I think the need to feel clean is human nature and you shouldn't underestimate it.

Woop woop! Changed my bed clothes earlier and it's now in a boil wash with the bath towels. Fiancé and I sometimes sweat a lot overnight and often wear a t-shirt to bed to mitigate this. One each, that is! Bedding gets changed once a week, and there's nothing more soothing than getting into a bed with freshly washed linen that has been dried outdoors in the sun. Fully agree with the need for a clean bedroom, you spend a third of your life in it.

I have a duvet (a warm one for winter and a thin cool one for summer). No matter the season and with a room temp the same year round, I can wake up sweating. I don't have the time or the energy to then wash and iron duvet covers and I am also mindful of the impact it has on the environment so I always have a 100% cotton top sheet between me and the duvet which is replaced once a week. Replaced next day if I sweat.

If we spend 8 hours a night in the bed x 7 nights a week that's 56 hours in the same sheets and that is if we wash them weekly. If we only wash them every other week that's 112 hours divided by 24 hours / in the same sheets which is like wearing the same clothes for 4.5 days (24 hours a day) Ewww! LOL.

Hence, I'm sure some ash comes in the home. Thanks so much!

Hi Kat, Yes I do use an air purifier, and depending on the size of your home or the area you are trying to treat will depend on which machine you buy. This is a great one amzn.to/3OpYzIh (paid link) and a bit on the pricy side but designed for Allergens, Smoke, Smokers, Dust, Odors, Pollen, Pet Dander. When considering which one to buy, look at the cost of the filter replacements as well and the frequency of changing them.

I wish I could wash my bed sheets every week, but I just can't do it. My bedroom is tiny and the only way to position my bed that works is in the corner with a wall blocking one side and the head of the bed. The room is too small to pull the mattress out to create access (I then can't move around the room). So it's just too difficult and time-consuming to fight with it, and it's such a big project that I have to go as long as I can between doing it. I used to have a nice, normal size room with access on both sides and the ability to move around the bed freely to work on it, and I would change it much more often and it took a fraction of the time and wasn't nearly as strenuous. Now it's just awful though.

Every day??? That is great if you have your own washer and dryer, but many of us do not. I wash my sheets every other week. It is just me and I just sleep on these sheets. Now that it is hard to get quarters for laundry machines that is about as often as I can do this.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a brand or type of sheet that can be washed weekly in Hot/Sanitized water temperatures? I’m looking for sheets that will hold up. I’ve tried a few and they all claim warm or cold. Given my allergies, I’d like to use the Sanitized setting on my Steam Washers and Driers. Also sometimes certain stains require more heat to breakup and remove. I’ve had bad luck so far some sheets lasting only a few weeks or months before having noticeable wear in different ways. Thanks!

Lots of Bed and Breakfast owners in our network buy the Charisma brand of bedding from Costco. www.costco.com/charisma-400-thread-count-6-piece-sheet-set.product.100460908.html It is durable, stands up to frequent washing, high temperatures and is affordable.

What if you are extremely busy and honestly don't have time to do it once a week? I don't see how people with kids and pets and jobs can do that once a week 😵‍💫 We are lucky to get clothes washed once a week at our house. The exception is when someone is sick obviously. We can't afford a higher water bill, especially in the summer. They raise the price of electricity from like 6am-8pm in the summer in hopes of “conserving power” during hot summer days because everyone is using their AC and washers and dryers use a lot of electricity. It's two of the top things they suggest not using during these times. I can't stay up all night washing laundry (clothes plus bedding and other things like towels) or even splitting into two nights. I have to be up at 6am and need at least 8 hours of sleep.

Should I be cleaning my mattress? If so, how?

@AskAngelaBrown 4 жыл бұрын

If you have a mattress casing you don't need to clean the mattress itself because that is barrier protection. And if your mattress has sheets on it most of the time, there shouldn't be a reason to clean it. There are people who sprinkle baking soda on their uncovered mattresses (without casings) and let it set while they was the linens to absorb smells or body odors. You can vacuum that right off with a vacuum attachment on the end of a vacuum hose.

Fabreeze is another product that help eliminate odor on fabric, spray on & air drys quickly. Body sweat, odor & oils compound odors on permeable surfaces so also make sure your mattress & pillows are protected. Blankets, curtains, couch,chair fabric as well as carpets can hold odors too. Fabreeze can be used on those things too. Launder what can be washed.
