Wow! I did not know I should be washing my bedding this often!

[@The_Stubborn_Christian]

My grandmother, my mother, me, and my daughter have always washed sheets every Saturday. Blankets and comforters once a month. You shed hundreds of dead skin cells every night...eeewwww...

[@walterfoyt5985]

I’m a single man and maybe I’m obsessive but I wash my sheets and blanket every week. I also have a mattress and a pillow cover, which I wash every other month. My bed spread / comforter I have professional cleaned every six months.

This video should also exist as a table. If only there were a popular website on which to put such a table.

[@LokiDaFerret]

ONCE A WEEK!!?? You DO NOT want to know when I last washed my sheets. 😥

[@adampat6473]

When?

[@LokiDaFerret]

@@adampat6473 lol. When I wrote that response, it was probably a good 4 to 6 months. 😁👍🏻

[@shivairas6717]

@@LokiDaFerret that is way to long my goodness

[@mariavaldovinos8349]

I'll try to do it ever 2 or 3 weeks.

[@OGPimpin]

@@LokiDaFerret I'm seasonal/semi-seasonal as well (wash a few times a season or change when season changes). I shower before bed, and never had any problems with illness, bugs, disease etc. Been like that for almost 40 years.

[@Boner_Champ69]

I rotate sheets & pillow cases every 3-4 days, comforter/duvet once a week. Pillows every 2 weeks and mattress cover same every 2 weeks.

[@danmills4025]

One other thing: If you sleep naked on dirty sheets and are constantly moving your pillow from between your legs to under your head, you’re theoretically running the risk that your mouth or eyes could come into contact with bits of stool. If you’re healthy, this thought is more disturbing than anything else. But if you happen to have a compromised immune system, like if you’ve come down with the flu, that could technically leave you more vulnerable to illnesses that spread through bacteria in feces, like pink eye.

[@danifurka6790]

Who puts their pillows to their ass and genitals??? Never heard someone do that, so disgusting

[@joshuahoward3016]

I wash my sheets, towels, and comforter every week with Tide, Gain, Lysol Laundry Santizer and Downy Fabric Softener

[@dianeshelley6458]

I used to wash my bed clothes very often and hang them on the line outside cause I didn't have a dryer. I loved to smell my clothes after they were dry.

[@moverton500]

Growing up, blanks and sheets where rarely washed. Once every few years or so. I have also heard you should buy a new mattress about ever 8 years. I slept on the same mattress from 4 to when I moved out of my parents house (22). So to me washing bedding once a week sounds excessive.

[@mirkwoodphotography2089]

Ummm…I would be hesitant at reusing the shame sheets and blankets for months without a wash, and even that’s excessive. But years? Completely unacceptable and filthy

[@brigh12]

Years!?! That’s ridiculous

[@scottschoppert9149]

I like to wash every three day

[@SJ-vv8vt]

wowww now that is what I call neglect. absolutely unacceptable

[@AndrewH.]

I take a shower every night before going to bed, so washing sheets "at least once a week" sound excessive and not very environmentally conscientious... Also, you can't throw a memory-foam pillow in the washer.

[@ronnie-lynn]

Yes but just like a mattress cover you can get pillow covers and a pillow case on top. I wash my pillow case and sheets once a week and the pillow cover once a month with the duvet cover.

[@lindsaybayless1861]

Agreed, I’m not a sweaty person and I don’t sleep naked so I don’t think that often is necessary unless you’re just gross lol

[@yumyum1742]

🤢 🤮

[@kamillelynton9339]

I wash all my memory foam products they just take longer to dry but they should be washed.

[@levimust4479]

Sound advice. I'm passing this over to my staff. The upstairs maids have looked a bit overly relaxed lately, not enough work.

[@naboob]

so much work! T_T

[@9622paige]

Lol I use like 70 blankets and 20 pillows (in case you can’t tell I’m exaggerating but seriously I have a lot of both, like 2 covers that I actually cover up with, I like to sandwich my legs between them so they don’t touch skin to skin or rub while I’m sleeping, and 3 throws that I prop myself up with or just lay against my face because it’s soft and feels nice. I also cover my eyes with them even though I have both blacked out windows with blankets over them and an eye mask lol and I have 2 body pillows, one I use to prop my iPad on to watch tv or play game and one to cuddle at night, and finally I have 5 stuffed animals, a 23 year old girl so don’t come for me lol they aren’t just for kids okay lol, and a chair pillow.) My bed is a queen mattress that came in a box vacuum sealed into like 1/10 of its actually size once it expanded for 48 hours, and I have depression so I eat, sleep, read, play games, do homework, watch tv, etc etc etc in my bed so I’ve made it a haven. That said, in my huge long rant/spiel, it’s obviously a pain to wash everything and takes like at least 2 loads of laundry (we have the big whatever it’s called sized washer and dryer). I washed everything today including spraying my mattress with microban and it is a welcome comfort. Everything smells so fresh and clean and feels so new and soft. Sorry for the unnecessary novel lol but seriously once a week would kill me.......more like once a month, BUT I always shower before getting into bed and I’m always clean when I’m in bed and have on fresh clothes and stuff and my dog who is solely and indoor dog who just goes out at potty times or to play gets her feet and butt washed off before she’s allowed in my bed under my covers with me and has regular flea/tick prevention and deworming.

[@lolitamorris2943]

I washed the sheets weekly, towels every 3 days

[@videosdrive469]

I didn't even know you needed to wash your pillow

[@kessler003]

Just buy a new one every 6mo.

[@anonymousfuck9320]

Because it gets dirty even if u have a pillwcase

[@abeerohome]

I wash my Abeero Home bedsheets twice a week. Thank you for the video

[@Akiko-ci9ec]

Before I go to bed, I make sure I had a shower and worn washed clothes. However is it ok if I only wash my bed sheets and blanket once a month?

[@Ohkeh640]

Yep fine

[@whomadethewordword5035]

If your dryer has the option, steam fresh your blankets and pillows, it’s easy and quick.

[@dayvonjohnson8468]

I wash them 2 times a week in the summer time because I don’t know about y’all but I sweat in my sleep

[@justinpennington7682]

Every 6 months if they need it or not

[@unaleem1956]

eerwwwww! Weekly at least

[@jezusova]

😂🤣

Bad dustmite allergy. Love the hell out of my encasements

[@Abstract_flow]

Ethan Ellis she said the encasement are made of a plastic material, can you feel it when you sleep is it annoying or does it just feel like another bed sheet

[@Fusiongearz]

wtf is all these duvets and sheet on the bed. Bro I just have like a thing over the mattress and a blanket if and I mean IF I get cold. I can't imagine all that other stuff on your bed, it would be too hot to sleep in.

[@Bob_Lob_Law]

[@elonmush4793]

Can you please use SI units (metric)?

[@2adamast]

you mean week and month are not SI?

[@elonmush4793]

@@2adamast Fun fact: months are actually NOT SI units since they are not consistent in how many days, hours etc they have. However, I was talking about Fahrenheit vs Celsius. Celsius is a SI derived unit. Fahrenheit does not hold that status.

Please show Celsius temperatures for non-American viewers! Fahrenheit is incomprehensible, illogical and obsolete!

[@montpc259]

No it really isn't, and if you had a brain you would simply just translate Fahrenheit into Celsius.

[@tomholy]

I totally agree with you, the whole world uses Celsius apart from maybe just one country that has not caught up yet. They will eventually. There was this highly expensive mistake made with one of the international satellites where the USA part was done (by mistake) in Imperial units. Fortunately no one was killed. The USA is just different, take for example, their current leader, Donald Trump who is busy right now killing tens of thousands of them. I exaggerate of course, but his inaction and worse, downplaying Covid-19 HAS led to tens of thousands dying that would still be alive if not for him.

[@PokeMaster22222]

@@tomholy This will sound morbid, but I do have to wonder if American ignorance and laziness will eventually do them in - whether economically or living.

[@triplerainbow6269]

​@@PokeMaster22222 Sure. Using Fahrenheit will do us in. Well the rest of the world has been using SI units while we use customary units for decades. Somehow we manage. Almost like it's not that important of a change to make. How is Fahrenheit incomprehensible? Somehow 300 million of us use it successfully. Many other countries in the past also were able to use this so called "incomprehensible" scale. You people are so concerned with what we do. You carry on as you wish and so shall we. "This will sound morbid, but I do have to wonder if American ignorance and laziness will eventually do them in - whether economically or living." Many of you wish and dream for us to go under. Sick.
